What is DISC Daily?

According to leading experts in the DISC Behavioral Profile assessment, DISC Daily is an automated tool you can use every day to learn and practice the principles of DISC. It is a tool that allows you to gain clarity on how to improve your communication and relations with others.

DISC Daily was designed with the busy professional in mind. Do you want to learn more about yourself and become a better communicator? Do you want to understand others better so you can provide them with what they need to be their best? DISC Daily will help you do just that.

Using DISC Daily’s automated practices will allow you to:

1. Gain clarity on what it means to communicate effectively using the principles of DISC.

2. Learn how you can identify and, practically predict, the behaviors of others for successful communication.

3. Track your progress in becoming a better communicator, and thus a better leader, through practice in the moment.

Literally, less than 1-minute a day is all you need to gain the knowledge from the daily practice and make it happen throughout your day.

What are your thoughts on what these two Motivators graphs might look like?

Scenario: When Wanda sees a homeless person, she wants to give them money. Jeff doesn’t want her to do that because he thinks that person will take advantage of the situation. Wanda feels that it’s not her responsibility to know what they will do with the money, it’s just her responsibility to be kind and do what she can for others. Jeff feels that the money would be better spent elsewhere, where he knows how it will be used. Tension in a relationship comes from what each person values. When Wanda gives, she feels satisfied, but Jeff does not. If she does not, Wanda will feel unsatisfied, but Jeff will feel fine. By becoming aware of our own motivational orientation and learn to identify it in others, we can understand the WHY behind behavior. If Jeff and Wanda can understand where each places value, they can learn to adapt for mutual benefit, rather than get frustrated with each other.

Tips for the DISC Behavioral Wheel:

What does it mean when a person is plotted right in the center of the wheel?

This means that they are expressing two opposite styles at the same time. The D and the S or the I and the C. Because these are opposite styles in terms of pace, priority, behavior, and emotion, they may experience frequent internal tension and pull between those styles. In turn, this may cause external tension as others may not know which person will be present. If this person can learn to be aware and decide which style is most appropriate for the situation, this can be an advantage because they literally understand the styles at the opposite sides of the wheel.

When was the last time you reviewed your understanding of the DISC Behavioral Wheel?

Remember that on the Behavior Wheel, the letters inside each segment represent only those styles that are expressed (above the energy line). The further to the outside edge of the wheel that a person is plotted, the more intense their style is, and it may take more energy for them to adapt to styles that are different than theirs. They may need to intentionally “tone down” their own style in order to adapt, and they may need some recovery time if this adaptation is frequent or sustained. When plotted more towards the center, the less intense the style(s) and the more adaptable they are because they can shift easier to styles that are similar to their own. However, they may feel some inner tension with those styles.
