Description
The BirdBrains, Inc. Profile is a DISC-based assessment that utilizes Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls to explain the four styles. Your profile will help you discover the most interesting topic of all- you! In addition, the profile includes the Participant Guide for the BirdBrains, Inc. movie.
Personalized content includes a description of your general characteristics, strengths, behavioral tendencies and challenges. The report provides an in-depth analysis of your motivators, needs, fears, distinctive value to a team, how you relate to other styles, handle conflict, communicate, lead people, manage stress, and more.
People will also discover the characteristics of the four styles and the type of environment in which each style thrives and what they may need to do to increase effectiveness. Individuals will learn how the styles can be overused, which results in turning strengths into behavioral challenges that decrease effectiveness and can damage relationships. Additional sections of the profile provide insight into how to build rapport with each of the styles, how to communicate with each style, and what you may need to accept about each style.
The report concludes with action planning questions based on our Dynamic Action Planning process in which questions are specifically selected for the individual based on their style. Let’s face it, Eagles need to work on different things than Doves. So, we now direct the individual to create an improvement plan just for them.
The Taking Flight Profile features the bird styles from Merrick Rosenberg’s books, Taking Flight! and The Chameleon. The results of this assessment are integrated into all of Take Flight Learning’s training programs and the BirdBrains, Inc. movie debrief.
The BirdBrains, Inc. material includes eight activities that either introduce or reinforce the DISC styles (a.k.a. Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls). Whether you are an experienced facilitator or someone who wants to share BirdBrains, Inc. with your team, the BirdBrains, Inc. Participant Guide makes it easy to lead a session based on the movie. If you like, you can show the eight videos led by Merrick Rosenberg (a.k.a. The Bird Guy) that link to the eight first activities in the guide, or you can use the guide to lead the discussion on your own.

Activity 1: Which Bird Are You?
Activity 2: Meet the Birds
Activity 3: Don’t Impose Your Style on Others
Activity 4: Things That Annoy Me
Activity 5: Turn Judgment into Acceptance
Activity 6: Overusing Your Strengths
