Put DISC to Work: Try It on Your Everyday Messages
Whether you’re leading a team meeting or firing off a quick email, you want your message to land just right. That’s where DISC comes in. The DISC model breaks down communication styles, making your daily interactions at work and beyond more effective-and less stressful. Here’s how you can practice using DISC with real messages and get live coaching to sharpen your approach.
How DISC Makes Communication Clear
DISC isn’t just another personality assessment. It’s a practical tool for understanding your natural style and tuning in to others. The four DISC styles-Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness-show you how people prefer to communicate. When you use DISC, you can tailor your words, tone, and approach so your message comes through loud and clear.
- Dominance (D): Values directness and results. Keep it brief and get to the point.
- Influence (I): Responds to enthusiasm and social connection. Use positive language and share stories.
- Steadiness (S): Prefers calm and stability. Show appreciation and avoid surprises.
- Conscientiousness (C): Seeks accuracy and detail. Provide data and be clear about expectations.
Takeaway: Next time you draft a message, think about who’s receiving it. Adjust your style based on what matters most to them.
Practice DISC on Real Messages-Get Live Coaching
Knowing about DISC is one thing. Using it as you write or speak is where the magic happens. That’s why we offer hands-on coaching, right as you work on actual messages-emails, meeting notes, or even feedback for a colleague. You’ll get real-time feedback and see how small changes can make a big impact.
- Send us a draft of your message. We’ll identify the DISC style you’re aiming for.
- We’ll coach you through tweaks, so your message is more likely to connect.
- Use what you learn in your next meeting, call, or written update.
Tip: Start with one message today. Try adjusting the tone or format to fit the recipient’s DISC style and notice the difference in their response.
How DISC Training Fits Into Your Workday
You don’t need to carve out hours or overhaul your whole workflow. With DISC, small, daily changes are what count. Whether you’re managing a project, running a sales call, or checking in with your team, using DISC can help you:
- Cut down on back-and-forth emails
- Run shorter, more focused meetings
- Give feedback that’s easier to accept
- Reduce misunderstandings and repeat requests
Suggested next step: Pick a recurring communication-maybe your weekly update or a client check-in. Apply the DISC approach and track how much smoother things run.
