In this live 60-minute session, former intelligence officer and human behaviour expert JJ Brun (The Retired Spy) will show you how to read those signals through the DISC lens.
You’ll see where tasks, expectations, and behavioural styles are misaligned, and how to adjust before fatigue turns into burnout. After this session, you’ll leave with simple moves you can use to conserve energy and support long-term performance.
If you want your DISC work to show up in your calendar, in your revenue, and in the results you deliver, this session points you in that direction.

Coach or consultant who wants practical tools to help clients protect energy while still hitting targets.
Team leader or executive responsible for workload, engagement, and performance across different personalities.
HR, L&D, or People & Culture professional working to reduce burnout and turnover with concrete behavioural levers.
Business owner or entrepreneur who wants people in roles that fit how they are wired, so they can contribute at a high level over time.
Assigning tasks in a way that respects behavioural preferences
Leading meetings with more alignment
Giving feedback in a way that reduces defensiveness
Shaping a team culture that supports energy and long-term productivity.


Burnout often develops in environments where people work in ways that do not align with their natural style. The hours and tasks may look reasonable, yet the way work is organized drains them.
The DISC model gives you a clear view of how each style prefers to communicate, decide, and take action.
When you understand those preferences, you can adjust roles, expectations, and interactions so that people feel understood and better able to sustain their effort.
