Where DiSC Shines

---

Succession isn’t just a legal event or a valuation exercise—it’s a human transition. Staff anxiety rises. Clients feel instability. Next-gen assumptions get made without being tested.

DiSC helps you:

• align leadership on what “the future firm” actually looks like
• clarify roles, decision rights, and communication norms
• reduce conflict and “storytelling” when stress is high
• surface whether next-gen interest/fit is real (or just hoped for)
• build a proactive plan so the team isn’t reacting in crisis mode
   

This is coaching + facilitation designed for real firms with real constraints (time, busy seasons, strong personalities, and client-facing demands).

Typical deliverables include:

• DiSC assessments + a clear individual and team readout (no jargon, no fluff)
• facilitated team debrief (how we show up under stress + what each style needs)
• conflict “translation” tools: how to say the same thing in a way others can hear
• role alignment: who owns what, where decisions get made, and what gets escalated
• a practical action plan (meeting norms, handoffs, communication agreements, follow-ups)
• online tools to support the team beyond the point of assessment

• advisory firms growing faster than their org chart
• teams with recurring tension between advisor(s) and operations/admin
• firms adding a key hire (ops manager, client service lead, associate advisor)
• founders who want a succession plan that protects staff and clients
• family firms assuming “the kids will take over” but not validating it
