Testimonials

In leadership development, a common question is around how to best motivate our people? The Motivators and Driving Forces certification helps provide an answer to that question from two approaches: the first is by helping a leader to become self-aware around his or her own motivators and seeing how these are different for every individual and the second is helping the leader get to know his or her team better. The Motivators/Driving Forces report is straight-forward and provides a good depth of insight to serve as a handy tool in gaining relevant insight. In working with DataDome, I found a pleasant, unexpected, surprise after the certification: they have become my silent partner in which I can reach out to leverage their vast and diverse experience around how to use the tools in novel manners.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team program, along with our DISC and EQ assessments, has been very helpful for us. We learned a lot about ourselves, our team, and how we can work, individually and collectively, to get better. We are committed to working to take advantage of and apply the many methods, lessons, and insights this program offered us, to our significant benefit.

As part of my role, I look to certify in multiple leadership, communication, and/or facilitation courses. I chose DataDome, because our company had a great relationship with them, certifying many of my colleagues, and everyone highly recommended their training. After going through the course, I now understand why it was so highly recommended. It was engaging learning. Felt like a dialogue, very fluid, and all the while you’re gaining lasting understanding of the content. Lisa and her team did a wonderful job of logistics and facilitation. I highly recommend them.

Working from home during this pandemic has proved to have many challenges. The transition from working collaboratively with each other in an office setting to all communication and collaboration taking place online and remotely meant utilizing and ramping up adoption of new tools and avenues to facilitate teamwork and productivity. Through our partnership with DataDome, we were able to provide our employees with behavioral reports to not only understand themselves and others but HOW those behaviors may need to be modified during today’s world of COVID. Our consultants had the opportunity to learn about themselves and share this information with clients, coworkers and even family.  Data and reporting helped us to hone in more quickly on what would be most beneficial for our teams and allowed us to continue business and meet top efficiencies with little interruption.  Data Dome not only provides access to reports, but are supportive and responsive to our unique needs.  Lisa and the team are amazing and also provide that unique personal touch that we love at SEI.

Lisa Bouchard and her team are true business partners. Lisa’s knowledge, passion, and desire are like none I have ever seen. She truly understands the customer and provides a customized program that fits their specific needs! Our participants state that the sessions are life-changing and that they have been able to connect with clients, peers, associates as well as their bosses like never before.

We have been using the Data Dome Behavioral Analysis since 1994 after using a more basic DISC instrument for two years. We have found the Data Dome product to be the most detailed, accurate, and easy to understand behavior indicator available. Using this information has helped us improve communication, teamwork and management placement

UAB Medicine adopted the DISC assessment as the primary tool we use to enhance teamwork by better understanding our own communication/behavioral style as well as learning to appreciate different communication styles. UAB Medicine’s work with Data Dome has helped us change our culture to a more open, accepting environment which is more tolerant of all groups. It gives us a neutral language to discuss communication style without it seeming personal. Also our teams are more effective because we now are better able to play to each other’s strengths and put individuals in places where they can excel.

Data Dome offers personalized expertise to support team development goals. As a professional in the space, I was attracted to their business approach to leverage behavioural science in a way that is consumable by all. The partnership DataDome offers is unmatched for a company as their focus is success and results, versus selling a product. We leverage DataDome for leadership development enterprise-wide and continue to find that their diverse offerings support multiple parts of our business.

Data Dome was supportive in not only providing best practices to help develop our strategy and approach for rolling out behavioral training across the organization for new hires as well as employees but was also instrumental in providing support as we continued to assimilate this into the culture. The support and responsiveness of the team at DataDome is best in class. I can’t say enough about this team – I never hesitate to reach out. We have enjoyed the continued partnership.

In 2017-18, BME Associates engaged Data Dome for a Leadership Development Program for our management team.  This was an important time in our company as the founding partners were retiring and it was time for the next level to step up into leadership positions.  The nine month program we completed with Data Dome provided a rounded comprehensive program that effectively engaged our team and has had lasting, positive effects on our company.  The program allowed our team to understand each other through 360 profiles and workplace motivators, and provided excellent guidance for improved communication between the personalities that make up our team. Most importantly, the program completed this within the thriving established culture of our firm.  Our success is a result of our culture, and Data Dome was able to shape the leadership training to work within our culture. This is why it has been such a huge success as it did not attempt for a wholesale change in behavior, but for us to improve ourselves within our own personalities. It is not that they ask you to change, but it gave you insight into how to understand others.  We believe that is why this training has stuck and that there has been recognizable improvement and collaboration between our management team.   

Our fear going into any program is that will it stick; will it accomplish meaningful change.  This fear has not been realized as change has occurred. This was accomplished through both individual coaching sessions, but more effectively was group sessions.  This allowed individuals to insert themselves into other’s situations and gain understanding. Data Dome did an excellent job in facilitating these exercises, which yield significant benefits for all participants.

We would recommend Data Dome for any organization that is looking to take their leadership and management to the next level.  They do a great job upfront getting to know your organization and listening to your needs. This allows them to formulate the training program to meet your specific needs based upon their knowledge and experience.  This is a huge component of why their program is so successful. Finally, the follow-up during and after the program is exceptional. We have brought them back for “tune-ups” or for specific projects, and all have had the same level of success.  Data Dome remains a valuable consultant to our company to this day.

I really enjoyed my DISC Training experience with Data Dome. The training was thorough, detailed and presented in a way that allowed each of us to ask questions, clarify topics, and really grasp the information. The training materials are excellent!

We use the DISC assessment at our company to help build and strengthen relationships and communication.  The folks we work with for the assessments have always been very responsive and helpful. It has been a great partnership for several years.

Having Lisa Bouchard conduct DISC Behavior Styles sessions has been the best thing we have done at our General Manager Regional Meetings.

The focus was on the GMs learning their DISC behavioral styles with a goal of going back to their restaurants with an awareness of how their behavioral style directly affects how they lead their team and produce results. During the session, I had the pleasure of listening to participants discuss how the DISC knowledge will have a direct impact on:

– Recruiting/Hiring and Coaching/Counseling
– Guest Service and Productivity
– Developing their Future Leaders
– Driving Sales and Profitability

I highly recommend this session for any business as it opens the eyes of leaders and shows them the importance of understanding, adapting, and coaching different behavioral styles to create a results-oriented business.

I would recommend Data Dome hands down to anyone interested in providing their employees an understanding of DISC and team dynamics. From the start, Data Dome will provide you with the education you need to train your own employees so you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to teach this valuable skill. Following, Lisa and her team’s client service is second to none. Whatever you need, they will help you with. They are constantly checking in just to see how I’m doing and if there is anything they can help with! It’s unheard of! Thank you Data Dome for showing us what great vendors look like.

I would unequivocally recommend Data Dome for leadership assessment, training and coaching and say that the services are a complete package for leaders individually or in groups that are seeking to enhance performance.  Successful leadership begins with a critical analysis of individual skill sets and Data Dome is the place to start and finish.

Data Dome has been a consistent partner to us in providing training, being a resources and supplying materials and ideas at just the right time. We have adopted DISC, EQ and Productive Conflict into our Fundamentals Class for all employees.  This material has helped us define our culture as one characterized by self-awareness, having a growth mindset and a willingness to work together.  We use the material for hiring, development and sales.

Thanks again for an incredible experience! I loved the work and the interaction in the Advanced DISC Certification class. I see the world (and the people in it) differently and am so excited to begin using this skill at work. I plan to use this knowledge and the DISC tools for coaching and mentoring for all of our staff.

In updating one of our training programs, we identified the need to implement a fresh module that would equip our leaders with the necessary tools to gain comfort in having those dreaded difficult conversations. Time and again, this skill is noted by senior leaders as critical for a manager to be successful. We met with several vendors to determine what was available. Upon meeting with Lisa and the Data Dome team, we quickly realized that their Productive Conflict program was the perfect option for us! Having worked with Data Dome in the past, we knew this partnership would be successful from the first phone call.

Their team did an exceptional job to ensure we got the necessary materials in our hands so that we could begin reviewing them prior to our extremely detailed train the trainer sessions. Instead of giving us the materials and saying “good luck”, their team coordinated schedules and setup virtual training for each specific module. During those sessions, Lisa walked us through the program step-by-step and gave specific examples on how she has delivered that section in the past. That gave us a sufficient understanding of the materials but she also took it a step further. She challenged our team to provide relevant examples of how we would deliver the message to ensure it would resonate with our intended audience. I speak for my team and will honestly say that was the game changing moment that it clicked for all of us!

After completing the train the trainer sessions, we delivered the lesson during our training program a week later and our confidence level was through the roof! It truly felt as if we had been delivering this content for years. Not only was our confidence level high going into the training, we immediately saw the ah-ha moments that we desired when we originally identified the training gap that was missing in our program.

Data Dome has a passion for learning that is unmatched! Not only do they provide great materials, they are extremely helpful and understanding that we needed to customize certain aspects of the materials to meet the needs of our intended audience. For that, we look forward to continuing our partnership with them for many years to come!

Thank you for sharing these resources.  I enjoyed the training and felt Lisa did an excellent job keeping the group engaged, providing real world stories and examples, and checking in to ensure everyone was grasping the acquired knowledge. We accomplished a lot in 8 hours, and I appreciate the opportunity.

Lisa incorporates 28 years of experience into a wonderful workshop. The workshop was fun and interactive. She made the workshop so engaging that we were surprised when it was done each day. It left us wanting more. I’m excited to begin leading sessions.

I really enjoyed this experience and I have learned so much. I am sure my organization will benefit greatly from the knowledge obtained this week. I appreciate everything you and Lisa provided to help me accomplish this goal! The resources you all gave us are superb.

The DISC assessment was by far my favorite content covered all week. I feel a team has so much to learn and gain once they figure out what style they are and what style their peers are. Understanding how to leverage strengths and weaknesses really contribute to a team’s dynamic and encourage collaboration. Thank you so much for taking the time to spend with us last week as this program was truly eye opening.

Thank you for sharing your expertise on DISC with us last week! Your depth of knowledge, engaging format, and personal insights were so valuable to me in understanding myself and other team members better. It has already been influential in helping me identify my strengths, challenge points, and tendencies. Thank you for walking us through this tool we now have!

Thank you so much for your time with our team last week. I really enjoyed getting to meet you and learning about DISC. Since the call, I have shared my data with my team, friends, and family. It really has impacted the way that I think and work, and I will likely continue to utilize it into the future. Thank you again!

I appreciate the amazing customer service Data Dome provides. In times that customer service is trending the wrong way, they always make their customers feel important!
