The Brief

Propel Digital, a high-performing digital marketing agency based in Wangaratta, were vplanning their annual team retreat and looking for something a little different. The goal was to include a professional development experience that was fresh, engaging and meaningful. Something that would spark insight, lift energy, and create real takeaways the team could carry forward into their day-to-day work.
‍

They were after a session that didn’t feel cringey or forced, but one that gave their close-knit crew the chance to learn more about themselves and each other in a fun, high-energy way. Because their work relies so heavily on collaboration, both within their team and with clients — the session also needed to offer practical tools to help strengthen communication and working relationships.

‍

What We Delivered

Ahead of the session, each team member completed a full DiSC personality profile. From there, we facilitated a three-hour deep dive into team dynamics, communication styles and ways to work better together.
‍

The session included:

• A clear and engaging breakdown of the DiSC model and the four core styles
• Group reflection on what motivates each style, along with strengths, blind spots and stress points
• Exploration of the team's dominant DiSC profile areas and how they influence communication
• Team-based activities to build understanding, insight and shared language — all high on energy, zero on cringe.
• Real-time reflection on how DiSC could be applied in both internal teamwork and external client relationships.

The Impact

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive — team members left the session with a renewed sense of clarity, energy and understanding of one another. Here’s what the team had to say:
‍

“The DiSC profiling session with Vic from The HR Haven was incredible. Turns out, our team is a beautifully even mix of personalities — which makes sense, because in our business, collaboration is everything. Understanding each other’s strengths means we can lean into them. We work better together. We deliver even stronger results for our clients.”

“Vic was so friendly and made the whole team feel comfortable straight away. I got so much out of the session.”

“Vic was fantastic — I learned so much about my working style.”
