Plus: *new certification options* for Everything DiSC, giving virtual feedback, retaining employees, and stretching into DiSC styles other than your own.
When a person moves into a DiSC style outside their own and exercises those types of behaviors, we refer to that as flexing or stretching.
Flexing is about adapting one’s natural inclinations to the needs of the hour or of another person. So a fast-paced D- or i-style person might flex into an S style when teaching a child a new task. An i- or S-style person might flex into a more skeptical and objective mindset when buying a used car. Flexing is something we all do.
Your DiSC style doesn’t excuse you from having to adapt. Statements like “I’m a C style, so you’ll just need to learn not to take my criticisms personally” encourage stereotypes and rigidity, which is the antithesis of what Everything DiSC stands for.
Everything DiSC Certification is newly redesigned to cover Everything DiSC as a whole, rather than focusing on a single application (Workplace or Management). This online certification course is now a two-week immersive experience combining self-guided learning modules with four facilitated sessions on Zoom. You’ll get to hone your facilitation and coaching skills in addition to DiSC knowledge, and learn how to incorporate Everything DiSC on Catalyst.
Learners remember concepts better when they’re involved in discussing them, rather than just listening. Look for opportunities to ask your learners questions.
