FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Build a Stronger, Winning Relationship
True Azimuth, LLC released today a Relationship Empowerment Workbook for gay and lesbian couples who want to build a stronger, winning relationship. The free workbook uses information from the DiSC 2.0 profile available from Inscape Publishing.
DiSC, a behavioral-style assessment to help people learn about their own behavior, improve communication and reduce conflict, has been used worldwide in business for organizational development and performance improvement. DiSC has 30 years of proven reliability and over 40 million users.
“We’ve taken the information from Inscape’s DiSC to a whole new ‘interpersonal’ level,” says life and relationship coach Scott Graham who authored the workbook. “When you complete a DiSC profile you get a report that summarizes your behavioral style and includes recommendations for your work environment. If you want to use DiSC to increase your effectiveness in your personal life or with your partner -- unless you were working with a coach to help you -- there was little to bridge the gap – until now,” says Graham.
The self-directed workbook provides the process toward increased effectiveness as a couple. “First you evaluate your DiSC report -- highlighting insights from behavioral summaries outlined in the report including what motivates you and what you need -- based on the report. Then you do the same for your partner,” says Graham. “Then you compare perspectives.”
According to Graham, the part of the workbook where couples compared perspectives was the most significant exercise reported by couples while the workbook was being developed. “Perspective is a key area I work on with my coaching clients, says Graham. “Sometimes how we see our selves doesn't match up with how we really are. Making sure we are seeing things accurately is pivotal in gaining traction toward building not only a winning relationship but a winning life!”
Finally a seven-day success chart couples learn a game plan for building a winning gay / lesbian relationship. “Both the DiSC Report and the workbook introduce a new language for couples to use in their relationship” says Graham. “Introducing DiSC language into the culture of a relationship enhances communication and problem solving.”
The workbook is free but requires the purchase of an online DiSC profile. “Each workbook is individualized based on the results of two DiSC profiles: yours and your partners,” says Graham. “We take the data and create two personalized workbooks which we send to each couple along with their reports.”
The workbook is not just for new couples – or even couples who may be struggling in their relationship. “Whether you have been together 50 days or 50 years there is room to create a stronger, winning relationship,” says Graham
