Speak Their Language: Using DISC to Communicate with Anyone

Episode Summary

Ever feel like you're speaking a different language at work? DISC helps you understand communication styles so you can adapt and connect better. Learn how to get to the point with a D, engage an I, reassure an S, and give a C the details they need!

Key Points:

• Know Your Audience – Different DISC styles need different approaches. Adapt your communication to fit their style.

• Be Clear & Intentional – A High D wants brevity, an I thrives on enthusiasm, an S needs reassurance, and a C values details.

• Small Shifts = Big Results – Adjusting your style can reduce frustration, improve relationships, and make communication more effective.
