Testimonials

"We have been affiliated with Data Dome close to two years and we have been extremely pleased with their products, their level of service and the consultative relationship. We have instituted the DISC tool into one of our leadership programs and it has met with great success. In order to do so, we have DISC-certified over 20 people through Data Dome. While the certification process was quite rigorous, Data Dome worked with us to ensure that each of our trainers had a full understanding of the tool and how to best deliver it in the classroom, including one-on-one review and coaching with the attendees. Subsequently, we have conducted a webinar on advanced topics as a follow up to the certification to continue the ongoing learning of the assessment with our team of trainers. This webinar was invaluable to all that participated."

"'To help you understand yourself and others in the workplace.' With that statement in mind, I began using the DISC or Personal Profile as it was called back in April of 1986. As a participant I was amazed not only at the accuracy of the instrument, but also the insight that was provided to help me do exactly what it was designed for... better understand myself and those I work with.

It was 1997 when I was introduced to Art Schoeck and his team at DataDome. Art brought the DISC and all of its benefits to me in a way that I had not previously understood. Eight years and two companies later, I still use the DISC as a tool to both assess individuals during the interviewing process and once on board as a coaching tool for both the Team Member and the Manager.

Our business relationship with Art and the DataDome team has been great, we have over 6000 DISC records on our Team Members. Art has conducted training classes for individual departments and our multi-unit managers. Each time we come away better informed, better equipped to communicate, but most importantly better able to understand the uniqueness that each Team Member brings to the workplace.

Through utilizing the DISC we have removed communication barriers, improved efficiency and without a doubt made our Team Members more productive."

Open communication is the life-line of any work group. Not surprisingly, Team Building is one of Data Dome's most requested seminars. See what our clients had to say about the improvement in team atmosphere after attending a Team Building seminar.

"The Seminar was a tremendous help in increasing sensitivity - as a result, they are now solving issues instead of raising them."

Chris Van Ingen,VP
Hewlett-Packard, Delaware

"I see the profiles as a way to make personal improvements in areas where others see my behavior and I don't. Letting others see my traits helps them work with me better. The profiles are a perfect tool for personal and professional growth, especially since we are merging two distinct cultures."

Jeffrey Shively, Manager of Data Base Support
GTE Mobile Communications

"We have found Data Dome's software to be a valuable tool in helping our managers work more effectively with each other and with their own teams. In addition, the Team Building seminar you conducted was superb. It was well-focused, clear and helped us tremendously. Now my managers not only realize their own strengths and weaknesses, but they also understand how to best communicate with the other members of their teams."

Donald E. Kinser, P.E., President

"We all thought you did an excellent job with our group. The total package is valuable - opening up a new and better way to understand how other people think/feel/act. It gave us insight into the causes of conflict between team members, and a starting point to understand and prevent conflict."

Coca Cola USA Fountain Atlanta

"I was amazed at the degree of accuracy of the behavioral profiles... Everyone thought the profile evaluation was fun. The reports were frank and honest, something that managers have difficulty doing without causing negative feelings from subordinates."

Neil I. Galanti, CPA Galanti & Company, P.C.

"The profiles have provided us insight into communication keys for each individual. We've implemented the program in a low-key manner so people feel comfortable sharing various aspects of their reports. We've found the information to be especially useful in the evaluation process following each assignment. The profiles will also be one of the tools we use in semi-annual reviews and in goal setting."

James A. "Al" Cochran,
Pannell Kerr & Forster

"The seminar you presented was not only a lot of fun, but incredibly informative as well. We certainly gained an understanding of how others react to activities in the work environment and what motivates them. We look forward to using our new knowledge to strengthen our team and to promote stronger relationships with our clients."

How have the people responsible for the hiring and development of the staff benefited?

"RTM Restaurant Group has been using the Data Dome Managing For Success instrument for about ten years. This tool has helped us to learn how to work better together and how to put together teams of people whose styles will complement each other. We have also used it as a tool in leadership development.

Throughout these ten years, we have had a strong partnership with Data Dome and Art Schoeck. Art has taught at many of our leadership conferences and he has instructed our HR and Training team on how to most effectively use this tool. He has also been available to consult with us on the numerous one-off questions we have had. His partnership has been invaluable."

Melissa Strait, Senior Vice President, Human Resources
RTM Restaurant Group

"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. Art Schoeck amazes me with his knowledge and understanding of DISC based behavioral analysis."

Pat Herreman, Director of Management Development
RTM / Arby's-Mrs. Winner's

"As a Human Resources Vice President, it has been my charge to manage recruiting programs which add "value" to the organization. The Data Dome applicant profiling process provided me with a valuable tool with which to help judge an applicant's personal credentials. Our recruiting "hits" versus our "misses" improved dramatically. Finally, a simple, cost effective methodology was available through Data Dome and...(we) used the tool to our competitive advantage."

David Velmosky
Atlanta Plastics

"Not only was it one of the most attended events, it was also one of the highest rated ones as well. One member wrote "best program of the year" on the evaluation form. It was very informative and I think the behavioral assessment is something that will give us a little insight into ourselves and how we manage others."

V. Greg Rimes, CLM; VP / President-Elect
Atlanta Assocation of Legal Administrators, Inc.

"Thank you for the exceptional job presenting the "Customer Service - Understanding Yourself and Others" workshop. As usual, the feedback was very positive and optimistic."

"Art is a dynamic and informative speaker/facilitator. He has an incredible knowledge of DISC and how individual behaviors aftect organizational productivity. No one walks away bored from one of Art's workshops! Art also has an extensive selection of assessments to help with recruitment, development, team-building, and employee engagement. Art has the highest integrity and consistently provides great consulting and products. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who needs a vendor partner for assessments, recruiting, teambuilding, or employee engagement." March 11, 2008

"Loved it! I gave it more value than any other Sales Seminar!"

Larry Taylor, Sales Manager
BellSouth Business Systems

"The information Data Dome, Inc. provided us was amazing. We have used this information to analyze our strengths but more importantly our weaknesses. I am confident that because of Art's seminar we have a more professional and productive group of account executives. I would not hesitate to recommend the Data Dome seminar to any business. It was concise, informative and extremely entertaining."

Sant Perez, Sales Manager
WAGA-TV/FOX5 Atlanta

"Our sales training classes were packed twice a week. Now, we have a single, much smaller class every other week - we're keeping our salespeople! And now we devote so much more of our training time on things we could never get to before."

Tom Hampton
Ikon Office Solutions

"Using Data Dome's behavioral style profiles has uncovered highly valuable information about identifying and adjusting for different styles, both with our buyers and with each other. The Sales Seminar in particular gave us the insights to take the step from simply identifying different styles to adapting our individual styles to the behavioral style of each client. ... The seminars succeed in being both nonthreatening and frank, a combination that proved to be extremely beneficial and constructive for our sales team. I highly recommend Data Dome, Inc. for their behavioral style software products, their attentiveness to their clients, and their excellent seminars."

Moe Shafer

What the decision makers have to say about how Data Dome has helped their companies.

"Great job. I've already noticed a more "cohesive and cooperative" attitude among the group. ... I will continue to recommend you wnenever possible."

Guy Thomson, Director
Proof of the Pudding

"We have been blessed with excellent growth over the last five years in no small part due to your help in evaluating our job applicants. The DISC profile is always helpful. The "Assess" test you offer and the way you tailor it to a specific industry and position is incredibly accurate. We use it for each of our hires and often go back and review it a year or so later and without fail it has properly described the person we hired. Keep up the good work."

Stephen F. Kenney, President
Kenney Properties, Inc.

"We have found it to be a refreshing experience. As an introduction to self-appraisal, it has produced an amazing honesty level. As a vehicle for a healthy, candid, and caring exchange of views between managers and subordinates, it has enabled subject matter which hitherto has been felt to be too sensitive for discussion to be dealt with in a very positive and motivating way. We have benefited greatly from our senior managers having come to terms with the do's and don'ts of managing the individuals; and the exchanges in this area have breathed new life into old relationships. In short we believe we have benefited greatly and yet we are sure there is so much more we have to gain. We are looking forward to you helping us in our goal of increasing management productivity."

Doug Manning, CEO
Rentokil Contract Services, Inc.

"Of the programs we've had in at PBG in the last six years, your training was the most effective, lasting and fun. My team still discusses the behavioral styles on a regular basis."

Mark McCullough, President

"Art has provided several DISC workshops for Hob Nob, and his presentations consistently receive high reviews. He arrives uber-prepared and consistently delivers an engaging, personalized presentation. Art always impresses me with his ability to intimately relate his deep knowledge of the subject matter to each participant's assessment results. Having seen Art in action multiple times, I now understand why BellSouth and Hewlett-Packard's National Training Centers have praised his workshops as among the best they've offered. I highly recommend Art!" May 14, 2009

Ben Harris

"Art's experience and insight into individual and organizational behaviors is truly excellent. I have had the opportunity to participate in a handful of his various workshops that we have hosted at Hob Nob, and each time I walk away with a tremendous amount of knowledge and information from these sessions. His capacity to engage the audience, whether they are college students or experienced professionals, is only possible because of the depth of his understanding in the subject areas he speaks to. I endorse Art without hesitation; he is not only an expert in this field, but truly enjoyable to work with." May 14, 2009
