What is BirdBrains, Inc.

BirdBrains, Inc. is the world’s first DISC movie in which people can watch the styles come to life. Can the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl work together to save the day? What will they learn about the styles that can make a difference in all our lives? Watch BirdBrains, Inc. and find out!

This 30-minute film is available for trainers to use in the classroom or for individuals to view independently. Movie-quality puppets represent the styles, and two songs written by Merrick Rosenberg a.k.a. “The Bird Guy” will bring a smile to your face.

If you want to facilitate a session, we make it easy. Learners can view the movie in its entirety or in four 7½-minute segments to allow for debriefs throughout. BirdBrains, Inc. comes with eight activity videos and a closing video led by Merrick Rosenberg. Lead the activities yourself or have Merrick introduce each activity, provide instructions, and share valuable insights to debrief the exercise.

Why did we make a DISC movie?

• We are visual learners and a movie is the ultimate visual experience.
• Seeing the DISC styles in action anchors learning.
• Engaging multiple senses through humor, music, and an engaging story about how the styles work together to solve a crisis generates long-term retention and application.

When To Show The Movie

• Before Disc training: Introduce the styles during a lunch n’ learn or standalone training program, then follow up with the more intensive styles-based training.
• During DISC training: Incorporate the film directly into your DISC training programs, such as Take Flight Learning’s Taking Flight with DISC session.
• After DISC training: Reinforce learning for people who already know the styles.
