Press Release Body = Marriott Expands Data Dome DISC Certification to International Sales and Leadership Trainers
Data Dome, Inc., a company that provides leading edge assessments and training for businesses to maximize human capital and retain their top talent, announces the expansion of services for Marriott International to include the DISC certification of sales and leadership trainers from Europe, the U.K. and Asia.
As part of Marriott International's "Train the Trainer for Impact Leadership" program, sales and leadership trainers are certified by Data Dome in Behavioral Style Analysis using the DISC language. Behavioral Style Analysis Certification is a behaviorally-based communication course to create win/win relationships for optimal effectiveness. Participants learn how to communicate and train using the DISC language and assessments. They come away with a more complete understanding of what DISC is and how to use it to interact with others and to appreciate others\' behavioral styles. The camaraderie that results from this appreciation produces better productivity.
Additional applications of DISC include leadership development, time management, conflict resolution, change management, and enhanced sales, team building and engagement.
Data Dome currently provides the same certification services for Arby's Restaurant Group and also recently trained the staff of the Georgia Restaurant Association.
Schoeck has now personally trained over 17,000 executives, managers and employees in DISC, and clients often refer to Art Schoeck as the "DISC Guru."
Chris Gilmore, Marriott Learning Services Director of National Programs, who will oversee Data Dome's new role, says that they have received excellent feedback from participants in the Impact Leadership class and stand alone team building sessions.
"We are very excited to add more DISC certified trainers to our cadre," Gilmore adds.
Nancy Curtin Morris, Senior Director of Training Delivery Operations in North America, has been extremely pleased with Data Dome's products, level of service, and the consultative relationship.
"While the certification process was quite rigorous, Data Dome worked with us to ensure that each of our trainers had a full understanding of the tool and how to best deliver it in the classroom, including one-on-one review and coaching with the attendees. Subsequently, we have conducted a webinar as a follow up to the certification to continue the ongoing learning of the assessment with our team of trainers. This webinar was invaluable to all that participated."
