Using the Maxwell DISC framework, you’ll uncover how your unique design influences the way you lead, communicate, and collaborate and how these insights can transform your personal effectiveness and your team’s success.

Testimonials
I signed up for a coaching session with ‘Detola during a period when I was being tossed about and confused about what decision to make regarding the next step in my career. This meant I was anxious and worried within no matter how calm I appeared on the outside. During the session, I felt listened to in a non-judgmental way.
The DISC personality system she uses revealed my personality style. It showed on paper what I already knew I embodied but could not articulate in words. It highlighted my strengths and suggested ways to improve on my weaknesses. It helped me gain clarity about the best choice of job/role to best suit my personality. I actually withdrew an application and applied for a different role. It also allayed my fears about leadership.
‘Detola is an active listener, has a calming presence and is very patient. She knows her craft and I am happy to recommend her.
I had the pleasure of attending a session facilitated by Detola during the Breaking Hundred Fellowship, where she guided us through the Maxwell DISC assessment. Her ability to create a safe, engaging, and insightful environment was truly impressive.
Detola has a natural gift for helping people uncover their unique strengths, leadership styles, and communication preferences. She broke down the DISC framework in such a practical and relatable way that it immediately sparked deeper self-awareness and meaningful conversations within the group.
Her coaching style is warm, empowering, and highly effective. She doesn’t just share tools, she equips you to apply them in your personal and professional life. I walked away from her session with a clearer understanding of how I lead, how I communicate, and how I can better collaborate with others.
I highly recommend Detola to anyone looking for a productivity coach who can inspire, challenge, and empower individuals and teams to grow into their best selves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this workshop for?
This experience is designed for women in leadership or management roles — whether you lead a team, a project, a business, or influence others across your organisation or community.
It’s ideal for those who want to strengthen their self-awareness, communication, and impact in how they lead, connect, and influence.
Whether you work within an organisation or run your own business, Lead by Design will help you lead with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Do I need to have experience with DISC beforehand?
No prior experience is required. You’ll receive a code to take your Maxwell DISC Leadership Assessment.
On the day, we’ll walk through your results in detail and explore practical ways to apply them to your real-world leadership challenges.
What if I’ve already done a DISC assessment before?
That’s great! It means you already have some self-awareness about your communication and leadership style. However, Lead by Design goes beyond simply understanding your DISC profile.
As part of the workshop, every participant will complete a new Maxwell DISC Leadership Assessment, which applies DISC insights specifically to leadership, communication, and influence. It also includes the Power DISC, a unique feature that identifies your top leadership strengths and how to use them more effectively.
If you’ve completed a Maxwell DISC assessment within the last six months, your existing report can be used. If it’s been longer, you’ll receive a new one to ensure your results reflect your current growth.
If you’ve taken a different type of DISC assessment, you’ll still need to complete the Maxwell DISC, as it offers deeper leadership application, strengths-based insights, and forms the foundation for the tools and conversations used throughout the workshop.
What if my organisation wants to pay for me?
Perfect! Many women are sponsored through their company’s learning and development or training budget.
