Everything DiSC® Worksmart on Catalyst™ takes DiSC® from insight to action. Built on the foundation of Everything DiSC Workplace®, it helps people tackle real-world challenges in the moment, with confidence: giving feedback, handling conflict, empowering others, navigating change, and motivating others.
Imagine you are a manager the week before review season. You know your team's DiSC® styles. You still have to sit down with the person who takes every comment personally, and with the one who will argue every point. Worksmart walks you through each conversation in your own style, and you leave with an action plan for the real situation in front of you.
WHY TEAMS ADD WORKSMART
Insight is in. The conversations are still stuck.
Imagine your team a year after a good DiSC® rollout. People know their styles. The language shows up in meetings. And yet the designer still has not told the engineer that the Friday code drops wreck her weekends, the new manager still opens every piece of feedback with an apology, and the change announcement still went out as a memo nobody discussed. Worksmart is built for that last mile: each module takes one of these conversations and coaches the person through it in their own style.
Practical, in the moment
Worksmart meets learners where they are and supports practical application in the moment, not weeks after a training day.
Built on Workplace®
Every module builds on each person's Everything DiSC Workplace® profile, so the guidance fits their style.
An action plan every time
Each module ends with structured reflection and a personalized action plan for a real situation.
Fits real schedules
Self-guided modules take about 20 minutes each, on demand. Trainer-led modules run as one-hour live sessions.
Where Worksmart fits
NO PROGRAM FOR MANAGERS YET?
A ready-made program for five essentials
Feedback, conflict, empowerment, change, and motivation sit at the heart of any management training that isn't about policies. If you don't have a management training program, or the internal staff to run one, Worksmart covers these five subjects for you.
ALREADY HAVE A PROGRAM?
Topic-specific, and tied to DiSC®
Worksmart adds focused modules on these five topics, built on the Everything DiSC® your organization has already invested in. It's the natural next step for getting more from DiSC® across the organization.
CHAPTER 1 · TWO WAYS TO LEARN
Worksmart now has two ways to learn
Worksmart on Catalyst™ includes two libraries on the same five topics. The self-guided library helps every learner move from DiSC® insight to action on their own time. The trainer-led library is adapted for leaders and designed for a trainer-led group session, so managers learn through shared discussion and applied practice.
SELF-GUIDED MODULES
From insight to action, on demand
Designed for anyone: individual contributors, managers, and leaders
Five focused modules (20 minutes each)
On-demand and self-paced
Structured reflection and personalized action planning
Immediate, real-world application
TRAINER-LED MODULES
Manager growth, in a live session
Designed for people managers and leaders
Five one-hour facilitated modules
Live (virtual or in-person) delivery
Guided discussion, shared practice, and action planning
Turn-key facilitation materials

CHAPTER 2 · FIVE PRACTICAL TOPICS
Five challenges. One smart solution.
Each topic is a conversation that makes or breaks collaboration. Every module ends with an action plan the learner applies right away with their team.
Tap a topic to see what it covers:
Delivering Constructive Feedback
Learn how to offer meaningful, growth-oriented feedback tailored to individual DiSC® styles. This approach ensures that your feedback resonates with the recipient, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and personal development.
Navigating Conflict
Understand your instinctive responses and create a personalized action plan to handle workplace tension. By identifying triggers and employing meaningful communication strategies, you can turn conflicts into opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Empowering Others
Adapt your leadership approach to help each team member confidently take the lead. By recognizing individual strengths and providing opportunities for autonomy, you can foster a sense of ownership and accountability within your team.
Navigating Change
Support your team through uncertainty by learning how different styles process and react to change. By providing tailored guidance and resources, you can help each member adapt with confidence, minimizing resistance and promoting resilience.
Motivating Others
Discover what energizes and disengages your team, and how to create a motivating environment. By aligning tasks with individual passions and recognizing achievements, you can cultivate a dynamic atmosphere that drives productivity and satisfaction.
In the trainer-led library, the same five topics are adapted for leaders: Giving constructive feedback, Navigating conflict, Empowering your team, Helping your team navigate change, and Motivating your team.
CHAPTER 3 · A LOOK INSIDE
Navigating Conflict: from automatic thought to a better response
The self-guided module on Navigating Conflict explores what drives people in conflict, the automatic thoughts they may lean on, and specific ways to reframe those thoughts to keep conflict productive. Here is what the thought process might look like for each DiSC® style.
Tap a style:
D style · instinct in conflict: Assert
Unproductive responseOverpoweringAutomatic thought“I don’t care what it takes to win this.”How to reframe“A good outcome is more important than feeling like I won.”
Unproductive responseArguing to win at any costAutomatic thought“I need to get control of this situation.”How to reframe“I don’t have to take control to get my ideas heard.”
Unproductive responseEvening the scoreAutomatic thought“I have to regain the upper hand.”How to reframe“It’s not the end of the world if I let this one go.”
i style · instinct in conflict: Express
Unproductive responseGossip and alliance-buildingAutomatic thought“I need everyone to see this my way.”How to reframe“Bringing more people into this is going to make problems, not solve them.”
Unproductive responseAmplifyingAutomatic thought“I can’t keep my feelings about this bottled up.”How to reframe“I can express my feelings constructively.”
Unproductive responseExaggerating and distortingAutomatic thought“Maybe this will get their attention.”How to reframe“If my point is legitimate, I don’t need to exaggerate.”
S style · instinct in conflict: Harmonize
Unproductive responseCaving inAutomatic thought“I need to let this go to calm things down.”How to reframe“I can handle a little discomfort.”
Unproductive responseWithdrawingAutomatic thought“If I don’t engage, this will end more quickly.”How to reframe“Refusing to engage now could draw this out.”
Unproductive responseAvoiding the issueAutomatic thought“I don’t want to make them mad at me.”How to reframe“It’s worth speaking up to protect my needs.”
C style · instinct in conflict: Defend
Unproductive responseBuilding a logic fortressAutomatic thought“They think they’re so much smarter than me.”How to reframe“Their different perspective isn’t a judgement on me.”
Unproductive responsePassive aggressionAutomatic thought“They don’t care about my opinions anyway.”How to reframe“If I’m frustrated, I need to say so.”
Unproductive responseStonewallingAutomatic thought“I’m not going to engage on their terms.”How to reframe“I won’t solve this problem by disengaging.”
From Wiley's sample of the self-guided Navigating Conflict module: just a sampling of the automatic thoughts and how they could be reframed. In the module, learners explore more responses to conflict, then develop an action plan, preparing them to Recognize, Remind, Reframe, and Respond to conflict constructively.
