    Dorrianne Casey

    Hello, I’m Dorrianne, Coaching, Learning & Development Manager for BM Caterers.

    One of the most important parts to my role is to support our teams with their own personal development journey. When someone reaches management level it is more important than ever to home in on our emotional intelligence and not just our practical experience.

    One way of raising our self-awareness is through tools such as DISC. Understanding how we tick and how we can better positively connect with others really does give managers the tools to be better leaders. It helps break down barriers, understand what drives people and realign purpose. And this is why I love delivering DISC. It really does work when it comes to building cohesive cultures!
