"Not only is Extended DISC a first rate product that we use extensively ourselves and recommend to all clients, but even more importantly to me in making a recommendation to clients is the depth of expertise, professionalism and support that the NZ team provide. This desire to get the very best out of the product and develop the understanding of it represent everything that I look for with a business I want to partner with."

"RESULTS.com have been using and recommending Extended DISC behavioural profiling tools to our clients for many years. In fact, the first thing we do when we start working with a company is to profile the leadership team and use this information to enhance their personal and group effectiveness. Clyde Colson and the team at Extended DISC give us great service. They provide regular training updates for our staff, and are always willing to take a phone call when we have "unusual" profiles that need a deeper explanation. Clyde is a true gentleman in every sense of the word and I always enjoy my interactions with him."

Extended Group
"I am a Coach and as such have been exposed to many types of behavioural analysis tools over the years. Nearly 3 years ago I searched for the best available analysis tool and without doubt Extended DISC is that tool. Just as important, the service and support from Extended DISC is exceptional. Extended DISC is indeed a very valuable tool for your coaching business and utilised well will provide you with additional income. You mention using Extended DISC as an additional tool for working with teams and yes, Extended DISC is superb for that however it is also brilliant for getting a fast-track start to 1:1 coaching as well. For both you and your client to understand their behavioural style from the outset of a coaching program gives you a great head start and will accelerate your coaching results. With regard to clients been able to access Disc online, I would make 2 brief points:
- Extended DISC is far superior to standard Disc
- On their own your clients will not even get close to the results they will get with a skilled Coach assisting them in using the valuable information contained in an Extended DISC analysis.
Perhaps one of my clients said it best: "I've been through many of these types of profiles and this is the best by far."
I apologise if it sounds like I’ve given you a sales pitch but I assure you I have absolutely nothing to gain from you using Extended DISC. I am a very experienced Coach and have in fact coached over 50 other coaches in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and I am passionate about Coaches establishing great businesses. I started out on my own 14 years ago and I haven’t forgotten how difficult it is to establish a successful business so I like to help in any way I can. Further I am simply happy to promote Extended DISC to others because it is such a great tool and their support and patience with me has been fantastic. "

Mardon International
"Thanks for the chance of trialing the extended disc profile. We were amazed at its accuracy even though your online software only asked a very limited number of questions. We are interested in giving our clients access to this tool. Some of my clients challenges are employing people and leading a team. On initial inspection the extended disc appears to be suitable for assisting them directly with these challenges. It certainly fits in with the frame work of our education process."

Crewe Sharp Career Bridge Pty Ltd
"I have been an extensive user of the Extended DISC suite of products and experienced first hand the customer service capabilities of the Extended DISC Australasian team for many years. I initially started using the Extended DISC Personal Analysis Report after assessing many ‘behaviour orientated’ reports in the market and extensive assessment and testing of the products against my requirements in the areas of coaching, career management and recruitment.
It was extremely important to have an accurate, comprehensive and robust report for these purposes, yet at the same time a report that could easily be interpreted and read by my clients. In addition I required a product with broader capability to be able to assess executive teams and the behavioural dynamics of those teams.
In the Extended DISC Suite I found all of my requirements and more this enabled me to expand the range of services offered to clients and to conduct more comprehensive assessments within the company environment. Many of my clients will not engage a new employee without a full Extended DISC Personal Analysis and Work Pair Analysis before making their decisions.
Any user of assessment tools will understand that the products capabilities and accuracy is one thing however without professional support and advice the use of the instrument can be very limited. In this regard I have can recommend the Extended DISC Australasian team as extremely professional, knowledgeable and very helpful to ensure I get the maximum benefit of the product range. I whole heartedly recommend the Extended DISC suite of products and the Extended DISC Australasian team to you as the best available!"

non executive management
"As business consults Non Executive Management (NEM) had been using DISC for some time as a means of helping clients understand the temperal styles of their people. Extended DISC is a far more revealing tool and the on-line questionnaire method is easy and quick for people to use. We have found that Extended DISC has provided business owners and managers with insights to their people that they would not normally have as well being an extremely useful tool to assist in the recruiting of new staff – much easier to put ‘a square peg in a square hole’.
The team at Extended DISC are readily available and eager to assist with any questions that we have from time to time, and the monthly newsletter is both topical, informative and the right balance between theory and case study."

Pathways to Performance
"The team at Extended DISC have been supplying us with Extended DISC for many years now.
Extended DISC provides clients with positive information that is well beyond the scope of basic DISC. Clients have been very satisfied with the Instruments, finding them extremely useful for extending self knowledge, highlighting areas for development, exploring communication and conflict, enhancing team dynamics and improving relationships with clients and each other. The benefit for us is repeat business with satisfied clients and referrals to their networks.
The team at Extended DISC are extremely helpful and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble, they are always on the front foot in considering our needs, newsletters provide ideas on how to move more product and the turnaround time on all requests is minimal. I find them an excellent partner in business and a pleasure to work with."
