Merrick Rosenberg

Merrick Rosenberg is an author, entrepreneur, and thought leader who has transformed the way businesses work in more ways than one. CEO of Take Flight Learning, he is particularly skilled at creating style-based training programs and has worked with several Fortune 100 companies in his career. Merrick is an industry-leader who has impeccable knowledge that he can now share when hired as a speaker for a wide range of events.

Equipped with a BA in Political Communications from the George Washington University and an MBA in Organisational and Human Resource Management from Drexel University, Merrick worked as a management consultant. Very early on in his career, Merrick learned that progress takes place in a work environment that is based on structure and order. Thus in 1991, he assumed the responsibility of being President of Team Builder Plus – a role he served for 25 years of his career.

At Team Builder Plus, Merrick became cognizant of the fact that personality conflicts play a huge role in team dynamics and this led to him discovering the DISC styles. Reimagining the DISC Model, Merrick introduced the Eagle, Parrot, Dove and Owl styles, which are now used by multitudes of people. Merrick even uses these analogies in his book “Taking Flight!” which won the Gold Award by Reader’s Favourite. His other books include “The Chameleon” and “Personality Wins”, which was a finalist for the 2021 International Book Awards.

Merrick is often asked for his inputs at leading publications such as Fast Company, Fortune, HuffPost, Forbes, Herald Tribune, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, InformationWeek and Parents magazine. A TEDx speaker too, Merrick delivered “Are Presidential Elections One Big Personality Contest?” in 2023. Merrick Rosenberg, who was named CEO of the Year for his company Take Flight Learning, is now available to speak at your next organisational behaviour and business-related event. Hire him today!
