WHAT is a DISC PROFILE?

Who knows you better than you know yourself, right?  Well, maybe.  Understanding yourself is a journey of ongoing self-discovery and personal growth.  It involves exploring your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and values deeply and honestly.  Digging into these sectors and peeling back the layers can shine some light on how and why you show up as you do in different situations, though you will likely end up with a plethora of puzzle pieces that don’t fit together, leaving you with a little more knowledge and a lot more frustration.  It probably seems bizarre to think about how much we all really do have to learn about ourselves, but it sure true. 

There are few tools that put the puzzle pieces together quite like a real and legit deep dive into your DISC profile.  I’m not talking about a free assessment that you print off, read, and put in a drawer.  That is going to give you a few more puzzle pieces to add to your pile.  You need to have someone explain every facet of it to you.  It is then and only then that your puzzle pieces will fit together to show your beautiful masterpiece.

So, what is the DISC profile?  The DISC profile is a behavioral assessment tool that helps individuals gain insights into their own personality and behavior styles.  DISC stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness, which represent four primary dimensions of behavior.

- Dominance: This style is characterized by assertiveness, directness, and a focus on results.  People with a dominant style tend to be independent, confident, and goal oriented.

- Influence: This style is characterized by sociability, enthusiasm, and a focus on collaboration.  People with an influential style are often outgoing, persuasive, and enjoy working with others.

- Steadiness: This style is characterized by patience, teamwork, and a focus on stability.  People with a steady style are typically dependable, supportive, and prefer a harmonious environment.

- Conscientiousness: This style is characterized by accuracy, precision, and a focus on details.  People with a conscientious style are usually organized, analytical, and value quality and accuracy.

DISC profiles can provide valuable insights into how individuals communicate, make decisions, solve problems, and interact with others.  By understanding your own behavioral tendencies, you can enhance your self-awareness, improve relationships, and adapt behaviors to different situations.  It's a great tool for personal and professional development. The deep dive into your results will leave you with a very intimate understanding of how all your puzzle pieces fit together. The ability to pull back the curtain to reveal the unique and special individual that you are is one of the best gifts.  Knowing yourself is a true superpower – one far too powerful to leave untapped.
