  • “The DiSC training is a part of the overall training strategy for Sika employees. This training does a couple things. It helps us understand ourselves a little better, and helps us understand others a little better too. The most beneficial part of the learning process is improving communications! We are more aware of how our style influences what we say as well as what we hear.”
    Brenda Rhodes, Sika Corporation
