RISINGTIDE PROVIDES THE TOOLS, COACHING, & CONNECTION SO YOU CAN

Maximize your leadership AND change your world

Our communities
are in trouble!

The erosion of the family, the disappearance of community pride, the rise of abuse, the lack of connection, and the overwhelming social needs in our communities present a grim reality.

Kingdom-minded leaders lack the tools, coaching, and connection with other leaders to maximize their leadership potential.

The next generation of leaders lack the mature faith and confidence to act, and they are desperate for hope.

In 2019, over 60% of Americans valued community involvement. However, this number has decreased significantly, with only 27% expressing the same sentiment now.

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…”

Free Event – DISC (Personality)

Date:

April 9, 2025

Time:

7:00 am

Presented by RISINGTIDE, we invite you and your team to attend this free 2 hour workshop. This free workshop is designed to help individuals and teams improve their communications, cooperation, and effectiveness.

DISC is an acronym that stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each letter signifies distinct traits, aiding individuals in understanding communication styles and interactions. In this eye-opening DISC workshop, you will be introduced to the DISC Model. Working from a solid foundation of mutual understanding and respect, this engaging DISC workshop will help participants learn how their own behavioral and communication styles correspond to others and how the management of those styles can significantly impact the overall success of the group.

DISC is probably the best personal development tool around and we believe that EVERYONE should learn it! It can be used to improve communication. optimize productivity, increase teamwork, enhance management skills, and maximize influencing skills.

One of the things about DISC is that it is non-judgmental and helps people discuss their behavioral differences without making it personal so it’s a fantastic tool for helping teams work better together!

This is a free event, but RSVP is required. Light breakfast will be served.

A cohort is more than just “a group of people with a shared characteristic.” At RISINGTIDE, it signifies a dynamic community of individuals united by their commitment to developing leadership skills and tools. We believe that collaborating and sharing insights with others amplifies the impact of what you’ve learned, turning spoken knowledge into practical wisdom.

Why join a cohort? Because together, we achieve more. By signing up for just $49, you gain access to a supportive network that meets monthly. These sessions are designed to deepen your understanding of previous event topics, providing a platform to discuss, explore, and apply new perspectives. Even if you miss an event, you’ll still benefit from the experiences and insights shared by your cohort members.
