EVERYTHING DiSC® ON CATALYST™
START HERE
Everything DiSC® is a personality assessment built for the workplace. It describes four basic styles, D, i, S and C, and shows each person where they fall and what that means for the way they work with others.
The Base Experience is where every Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™ program begins: one assessment, a personal profile each learner keeps, and a shared language your whole organization can use. Agile EQ™ adds the emotional-intelligence layer: how each person reads a situation and chooses the response the moment calls for.
A short overview of the Everything DiSC® model and the research behind it: the assessment is tested and retested for accuracy, engagement, and learner satisfaction.
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE THE BASE EXPERIENCE WITH AGILE EQ™
The Base Experience helps people understand themselves and others. Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ takes that insight further, into how people choose to respond when the pressure is on. Together they give every person the language to talk about differences and the flexibility to adjust in the moment, not just in reflection.
People learn to choose a more valuable response, even when stress or a deadline pulls them toward their default.
Teams move past friction sooner, with more thoughtful interactions when tension rises.
Everyone sees how their default style shapes communication and working relationships, and has the words to talk about it.
Learners leave with mindset strategies they can apply immediately, in any role or situation.
In Wiley's beta of Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™, 93% of participants rated their overall experience as satisfied or very satisfied, 95% rated their engagement as engaged or very engaged, and 92% said they'd definitely or probably use what they learned at work.
CHAPTER 1 · EVERYTHING DiSC® FUNDAMENTALS
Imagine you are halfway through a project meeting. One colleague wants a decision now, another wants to hear from everyone first, and a third keeps asking for the data. Nobody is wrong. Each person is working from a different style. Everything DiSC® Fundamentals shows each learner their own style and explains why they react the way they do.
Nobody is only a D or only an S. Each person uses all four styles, and one, two, or even three usually stand out.
All DiSC® styles and priorities are equally valuable. Every style brings strengths, and every style has blind spots.
You lean more toward one side of some continua and less toward others. Close to the edge, in between, or near the center: a dot in the center is no better than one on the edge, and vice versa.
Life experiences, education, and maturity also shape how you work. DiSC® describes tendencies, not limits.
Some people move quickly, speak up, and act with confidence. Others take their time, think before they speak, and weigh the options. Most people sit somewhere in between.
Some people are logic-focused and objective, and they challenge ideas. Others are people-focused and empathizing, and they look for agreement. Put the two questions together and you get the four DiSC® styles.
Slide each dot to where you think you naturally sit. There is no right answer.
Move the sliders to place your dot.
A starting guess only. The Everything DiSC® assessment places your dot precisely from your answers.
Tap a style to see how it shows up at work:
People with a strong D style tend to be: Direct, firm, strong-willed, forceful.
People with a strong i style tend to be: Outgoing, enthusiastic, optimistic, lively.
People with a strong S style tend to be: Even-tempered, accommodating, patient, tactful.
People with a strong C style tend to be: Analytical, reserved, precise, systematic.
CHAPTER 2 · EVERYTHING DiSC WORKPLACE®
Everything DiSC Workplace® takes the learner from "this is my style" to "this is how I work with you." It analyzes what motivates and what stresses the learner, and then what motivates and stresses each of the other styles.
That second half is where behavior changes. A learner who knows that a colleague is energized by quick wins, or drained by constant change, stops taking friction personally and adjusts the approach.
Twelve styles, one team: each person on your team sits somewhere on this map, and Workplace® shows each of them how to work with the others.
CHAPTER 3 · EVERYTHING DiSC® AGILE EQ™
Imagine you are in a tense planning meeting. Your instinct is to push harder; a colleague goes quiet; a third person starts picking the plan apart. Each reaction makes sense from where that person sits, and none of them moves the meeting forward. Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ helps people recognize when their go-to responses, such as detaching, controlling, or avoiding, no longer serve them, and shows them how to shift toward more valuable responses, such as empathy, self-assurance, or collaboration.
An introduction to Agile EQ™: how people read a situation and choose the response the moment calls for.
How DiSC® styles shape the way people use emotional intelligence at work.
Emotional intelligence is the agility to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly.
Some come naturally to you. Others are more of a stretch.
No DiSC® style is inherently more emotionally intelligent than any other.
Developing it gives you the flexibility to adapt your responses to a wide range of situations and challenges.
Each part of the DiSC® circle is associated with different EQ strengths, called mindsets. No mindset is more valuable than another: the situation decides which one is right. Each learner's profile shows the mindsets that likely come naturally to them and the ones outside their comfort zone.
Tap a mindset to see what it means:
Initiating action on your ideas, influencing people, and projecting a strong social presence.
Often a natural strength for: D and i styles
Establishing and maintaining relationships and expressing your emotions and unfiltered thoughts to others.
Often a natural strength for: i style
Reaching out with compassion, seeking to understand people's emotional needs and struggles, and being supportive.
Often a natural strength for: i and S styles
Staying open to others' ideas and being willing to compromise or set aside your own needs and preferences.
Often a natural strength for: S style
Reflecting before acting, moderating your responses (even under stress), and exercising diplomacy.
Often a natural strength for: S and C styles
Separating facts from emotions and keeping the discussion focused on logic.
Often a natural strength for: C style
Standing your ground in the face of opposition, speaking up about problems, and pushing through any resistance.
Often a natural strength for: C and D styles
Asserting your opinions and rights, projecting confidence in your ideas and abilities, and taking charge of situations.
Often a natural strength for: D style
Behind every style's EQ strengths are psychological needs: progress and control for some people, harmony and reassurance for others. The poster shows the needs of each style around the DiSC® circle. Each learner's profile includes an EQ snapshot that names their own.
Your EQ strengthsThe mindsets that guide your interactions, the benefits and challenges that come with them, and how they shape your responses.
Beyond your comfort zoneThe mindsets outside your comfort zone, the benefits of stretching to each, and how much effort each stretch is likely to take.
Develop your EQBeginner, intermediate, and advanced steps for each stretch mindset, and an action plan for the one you choose to work on first.DURING THE PROGRAM AND LONG AFTER
50 pagesEvery learner gets a downloadable PDF report of 50 pages to read, print, and bring to the workshop: Fundamentals, Workplace®, and Agile EQ™ in one booklet, with a Personalized Style Index at the end. The real engagement happens on Catalyst™, during the program and for as long as the learner stays with the organization. Compare:
REAL INTERACTIVITY
Catalyst™ turns self-understanding and understanding of others into tools people use, in a practical and visual way. Learners come back to it in the moments that matter: before a meeting, when a new person joins, or when a project team gets stuck.
Pick any colleague and see your two styles side by side: what you have in common, where you are likely to misread each other, and tips for working together. Learners use it before a first meeting, a handover, or a difficult conversation.
Put any set of people on one map and see the group's style mix at a glance. Conversation Starters then give the group prompts for getting to know each other, making decisions together, and communicating clearly.
See where each member falls on spectrums such as logic versus feelings, or realities versus possibilities. The group spots its natural tilt and the perspectives it tends to leave out when it decides.
Ask for advice on a real situation, such as building a relationship, working through a tension, or getting buy-in, and receive tips written for your style and the other person's.
Learners who prefer not to share their style can opt out from the Privacy tab in Catalyst™ and change the setting at any time.
HOW IT WORKS
Order the learners you need. Symphony 100 sets up your administrator account on Catalyst™ and adds the credits, so you are ready to invite people.
People engage when they know the reason. Communicate with your learners through the platform before they start:
From your administrator account you can see who has completed the assessment, and send reminders and notices to those who haven't.
Learners complete the assessment, explore their profile on Catalyst™, and download their PDF report.
This is the step that turns individual insight into a team that works better together. In a facilitated session, the team shares styles, motivators and stressors, and agrees how it wants to work. Choose who facilitates below.
How big a group? There is no minimum. Groups of 10 to 12 participants work best: everyone has time to take part and stay engaged. Larger groups are possible, but the value for each person goes down as the group grows. Alone or in pairs, learners lose the chance to apply the group and team concepts right away.
THE REAL VALUE
“The true value of Everything DiSC® comes from bringing the team together. It is not just about learning about yourself. It is about learning about others: people you know, people you don't know, and people you don't know yet. Understanding what motivates and stresses people, with a basic understanding of style underneath, can make all the difference in the world. It also gives everyone a communication tool to talk about it and be on the same page.”
