About MindShift

I help leaders decode themselves first.

Founder of MindShift Training & Consulting. Certified DISC Analyst & Trainer. Someone who learned leadership the hard way — and built a whole practice around making that easier for you.

Chay Lapasanda

I didn't start out wanting to be a trainer.

I spent years in operations and leadership roles, watching the same pattern play out over and over: smart, capable people getting promoted into leadership — and then quietly struggling. Not because they lacked skill, but because no one had ever taught them how to understand themselves, let alone the people they were now responsible for.

I was one of them. I learned the hard way that being a good employee and being a good leader are two completely different skill sets — and that most of leadership actually starts with self-awareness, not authority.

That's what led me to DISC. It gave me language for things I'd only ever felt — why certain people clashed, why some feedback landed and some didn't, why I reacted the way I did under pressure. Once I understood my own wiring, leading other people stopped feeling like guesswork.

Today, that's exactly what I help leaders, managers, and supervisors do — decode themselves first, then use that clarity to lead with more confidence and a lot less friction.

Who I help. What I do. Why it matters.

Who I Help

Leaders, managers, supervisors, and aspiring leaders — usually people who are great at their jobs but new to leading other people.

What I Do

I run DISC-based leadership training — through online courses and in-person sessions — that turns personality insight into everyday leadership tools.

Why It Matters

Because clarity changes everything. When leaders understand themselves and their teams, work gets calmer and people actually want to follow them.

You can't lead a team, run a business, or show up fully for others if you don't understand how you are wired. That's where I always start — with you, before anyone else.
