Our Story

How We Started Providing DISC Profiles Training

PLI’s co-founder, Justin Mitchell, discovered the power of business coaching and DISC profiles firsthand when he hired a sought-after leadership coach, Trevor Throness.

Trevor’s systematic approach led to 50% consecutive year-over-year growth for Justin’s real estate business, attracted top talent, and improved team unity, focus, and purpose. Seeing the transformative impact on his business, Justin realized that DISC Profiles training could help revolutionize companies across different industries.

With this deep understanding of the potential and power of using DISC profiles in leadership and training, PLI was founded with a vision to provide accessible solutions that unlock the success of businesses of all types and sizes.

The DISC Profiles are now used with businesses PLI serves from Fortune 500’s to local small businesses. PLI aims to offer the best in training at an accessible price and support companies in fully integrating DISC profiles within their business.
