Margaret Rose CoxGUEST
concepts.
Eric TriplettGUEST
If you've heard me say it once, you've heard me say it a thousand times.
Eric TriplettGUEST
I really think it's powerful to take personality testing, your profile testing, and that's the DISC profile.
Eric TriplettGUEST
And I personally study the Enneagram profile.
Eric TriplettGUEST
And it's almost creepy how spot on it can be.

Naylor TaliaferroHOST
How do you access the personality assessments? I think that's crucial.
Naylor TaliaferroHOST
Triplet.
Eric TriplettGUEST
So DISC is D-I-S-C.
Eric TriplettGUEST
Okay.
Rich LohmanGUEST
Last Friday, I was doing a training, local, in person, here in my hometown law firm.
Rich LohmanGUEST
And I was going through the DISC personality system.
Rich LohmanGUEST
And I had a young lady that's 26 years old.
Rich LohmanGUEST
She tested out as a C personality type.
18 MINS LATER
Rich LohmanGUEST
And they're struggling because their personality type is an IS.
Rich LohmanGUEST
So explain that for
Tamsin AstorHOST
people who don't know what the DISC is.
Tamsin AstorHOST
Can you just give like a sort of minute long description of DISC for people who've never done it, come across it, worked with it?
Jonathan MastGUEST
Absolutely, it is.
Jonathan MastGUEST
Well, and that prompt or that instruction that you just shared is very similar to what we do, which is it has a Google Sheet, which is maintained by our HR department that has every employee, their email, their position, and again, their Myers-Briggs and DISC, the two that we do.
Jonathan MastGUEST
And it's told to do just that same thing.
Jonathan MastGUEST
I probably worded it differently, but based in staying who we are as a company and being true and having integrity with that.
Mike CrandallGUEST
And behavioral styles, and as we like to talk about it, hardwired behavioral communication preferences absolutely can build or break trust.
Mike CrandallGUEST
And so a lot of people are familiar with DISC.
Mike CrandallGUEST
That's one way of looking at it, which is hardwired behavior.
Mike CrandallGUEST
And communication preferences.
Michael J. MaherHOST
Love that question.
Michael J. MaherHOST
I love that question because it also moves you forward in the sales process.
Michael J. MaherHOST
So not only does it help you determine DISC, most likely your C's are going to be the 10 and your I's will be the three and your D's and S's are going to be the one in a lot of cases, but, but it's, but it further, what I, like when I asked the magic question, which is basically, you know, if you had a friend or neighbor or best friend or significant other best describe you, how would they best describe you? And then I do, you know, one straight to the point, two social and outgoing, three steady and dependable, or are you four cautious and perfectly accurate? It's a straightforward disc question.
Michael J. MaherHOST
Like literally I'm giving them a disc test, but again, It, it, it makes, it helps me learn.
Scott AnderleHOST
And there's tons.
Scott AnderleHOST
There's the DISC assessment.
Scott AnderleHOST
There's the True Colors assessment.
Scott AnderleHOST
There's the Work Index.
Debbie GoHOST
There are a lot of personality tools or tests out there that help to uncover insight into the person.
Debbie GoHOST
We've all heard of tools like Myers-Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram.
Debbie GoHOST
If someone has already used those, why would they need you? And what does you offer that those tools may miss?
Luis Pedro Cauduro FerreiraGUEST
So these provide great insights on self-awareness, on understanding yourself better.
Luis Pedro Cauduro FerreiraGUEST
And those tests will help us understand people better and how do they work together.
Luis Pedro Cauduro FerreiraGUEST
So especially as you step into a leadership position, you will have to understand yourself better and then see the impact of yourself on others, on how you can actually inspire or lead them in some situations.
Luis Pedro Cauduro FerreiraGUEST
And all of those tools, they're really great insight on everyone, but DISC is the only one that actually directs this towards behavioral tendencies.
Luis Pedro Cauduro FerreiraGUEST
And probably that's where this analysis is more powerful to this situation instead of the others.
Mike MontagueGUEST
And you can do the same thing in email blast.
Mike MontagueGUEST
One of the most effective campaigns I've run is, uh, based on the DISC personality styles.
Mike MontagueGUEST
Do you know those?
Andrew ColskyHOST
No, share that with us.
Jackie Surgeoner-GaglioniHOST
C's is stalling and the S's is checked out.
Jackie Surgeoner-GaglioniHOST
When we look at it through a disc lens though, everyone at that table cared about the same organization.
Jackie Surgeoner-GaglioniHOST
They were just protecting different parts of it.
Jackie Surgeoner-GaglioniHOST
The D's were worried about the future of it.
Betska K-BurrHOST
It's very simple, but it really is true.
Betska K-BurrHOST
What tools, if any, do you suggest that managers use? You know, for example, the the DISC score, personality, behavioral profiles.
Betska K-BurrHOST
Do you believe in those? Or what do you recommend to help managers develop their team and gather that understanding?
Monte WyattGUEST
I absolutely really believe in those.
Monte WyattGUEST
And I use the DISC profile.
Monte WyattGUEST
And the DISC does a great job of helping people understand how others like to be communicated to, how they make decisions, how they interact under pressure.
Monte WyattGUEST
and what their comfort level is in how they communicate.
Monte WyattGUEST
And the more that a manager or a leader can understand how people like to make decisions or how they like to communicate, then we can do a better job of adapting or recognizing when conflict can occur or how we address situations when conflict happens.
