Wondering What A DISC Coach Does?

What Is The DISC Assessment?

First, let me explain what the DISC is used for in the coaching profession.

DISC is defined by Target Training International, as “the universal language of observable behavior.” It is one of their behavioral assessments that explains how a person does what they do. Many people mistakenly call DISC a personality profile. In practice, “personality” includes much more than our behaviors because it is formed by our values, character, temperament, beliefs and many other factors.

The DISC Assessment is defined as the “how” behind your “what” in that it looks at how our behavioral style impacts the way we communicate, complete tasks, and interact with others.

Four Behavioral Styles

Each person is unique and has their own behavioral makeup that is influenced by four behavioral styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. Our behaviors can be analyzed along a continuum for each of these styles. There are no good or bad styles, and a “high” or “low” is neither a positive or negative, as there are pros and cons across the continuum of personality. The key to DISC is understanding how these styles affect a person’s behavior and then applying that knowledge to how we interact with each other.
