The Opportunity

Make Everything DiSC your team’s own capability.

Everything DiSC gives organisations a practical, shared behavioural language. When your own HR or L&D people are certified to deliver it, every team you develop after that costs you profiles — not facilitator fees.

With internal certification

HR leads from the front

Your team becomes the go-to resource for team effectiveness, communication, and leadership development — responding the week a need arises, not when an external diary allows.

A real client’s arc

One workshop became a company-wide capability

One client started with a single half-day DiSC workshop for a new leadership group. Within 18 months, a certified HR Business Partner was delivering DiSC across the company — with mentoring at every step. Her words are below.

What certification enables

Deliver Everything DiSC sessions internally
Run profiles on the Catalyst™ platform
Integrate DiSC into onboarding & leadership programmes
Respond to team needs at pace
Build one shared behavioural language
Elevate HR’s strategic impact

Certification is a long-term organisational asset, not a course.

MCIPD, ACC · Wiley Everything DiSC Authorised Partner

Before becoming a partner, I built Everything DiSC into an organisation from the inside — running HubSpot’s internal DiSC programme at enterprise scale. I know what it takes for certification to pay off after the course ends, because I’ve been the one accountable for whether it did.

As your partner, I support you before, during and after certification — preparing you for your cohort, mentoring your first deliveries, and helping you embed DiSC into how your organisation develops people.

From Certified Practitioners & Clients

What they say about certifying with David

I can't express enough how valuable David's partnership has been over the past 18 months. Our journey began in May 2023 when he facilitated a half-day DiSC workshop for our newly formed leadership group. The enthusiastic feedback from the participants prompted us to expand the use of DiSC throughout the company, leading to David certifying one of our HR Business Partners to deliver the program. Through his coaching and ongoing mentorship, David has empowered us to implement DiSC on a larger scale while providing our HRBP with an outstanding professional development experience.

Maggie BertramDirector Learning & Development

Working with David through my Everything DiSC certification was an incredibly valuable experience. What makes him such a strong partner isn't just his deep understanding of the tool, but his depth of experience across HR & Leadership Development in large organisations. He brings a practical, real world lens to everything, showing you not just how to use DiSC, but how to design sessions that truly shift behaviour and support real business outcomes. He continues to be a trusted advisor and mentor as I facilitate workshops for global clients.

Padraic CunninghamCoach & Corporate Workshop Facilitator

David has been a great support throughout. From the start when I was considering certification, he gave me the confidence that it was the right move for me. Since then, he's always been available, no question ever feels like too much, and his advice has been invaluable. Before my first workshop, he took the time to review my material and share feedback, which made a big difference. I went in feeling confident, and actually excited rather than nervous. If you're thinking about becoming a DiSC practitioner, I'd highly recommend David as a partner.

Common Questions

What you need to know

What is Everything DiSC certification? +

Everything DiSC certification is the official Wiley programme that qualifies you to deliver Everything DiSC assessments and workshops inside your organisation. It runs over two weeks as four live virtual sessions plus self-directed work and a final exam, and awards the Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner credential.

What does Everything DiSC Certification involve? +

Everything DiSC Certification is the official Wiley programme: a two-week blended learning experience with four live virtual classroom sessions, self-directed work between sessions, and a final exam. On passing, you earn the Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner credential and the confidence to deliver DiSC within your organisation.

Who is certification suitable for? +

HR, L&D, OD and Talent professionals who want to deliver Everything DiSC inside their organisation, and independent coaches, trainers and facilitators who want to add DiSC to their practice. Facilitation experience helps but is not required — the programme builds your confidence session by session.

How much does Everything DiSC certification cost? +

Everything DiSC certification through David O'Grady Coaching starts from €3,995 (excl VAT) for an individual practitioner, or from €3,495 per person for teams of two or more. It can be invoiced in EUR or USD, and your only ongoing cost afterwards is Catalyst profiles at partner rates.

When do the next certification cohorts run? +

Wiley runs live virtual cohorts year-round, with new start dates most weeks and both morning and afternoon options for Irish, UK, European and US time zones. The next confirmed cohorts are listed on this page. Tell me your timeframe through the enquiry form and I'll match you to the right cohort.

Do I need to be certified to use Everything DiSC? +

No. As an authorised partner I can deliver DiSC workshops and debriefs for your teams without you certifying anyone. Certification is the right step when you want the capability in-house — so your own people can deliver DiSC across the organisation, with profiles as your only ongoing cost.

What is the time commitment? +

The programme runs over two weeks: four live virtual sessions of about two hours each, plus self-directed preparation and project work between them. Most participants plan a few focused hours around each session, finishing with a final exam at the end.

What support do I get before, during and after certification? +

Before: a preparation call to set you up and align certification with how your organisation will use DiSC. During: I'm available for questions throughout your cohort. After: mentoring into your first deliveries, help setting up your Catalyst administration, and ongoing profile supply and advice as your internal use grows.

How does Everything DiSC compare to Insights Discovery? +

Both are excellent preference-based behavioural tools that do slightly different jobs. Everything DiSC offers a practical workplace language on the Catalyst platform; Insights Discovery offers colour-energy profiling with strong depth for leadership work. I'm authorised for both, so the recommendation is based on your situation — the full comparison is at davidogradycoaching.com/disc-vs-insights.
