Tailor Your Message with DISC

Want to be a better communicator at work?

Start by decoding how the other person operates—not just what they say.

One simple tool I use in coaching: The DISC framework.

Quick mental check:

Are they task-focused and fast-paced? (High D) → Skip the backstory. Get to the point. Propose action.

Are they people-focused and expressive? (High I) → Use energy, positivity, vision.

More process-driven or analytical? (High C) → Bring data, structure, and logic.

Steady, loyal, harmony-seeking? (High S) → Show how your idea creates safety and avoids disruption.

This isn’t about manipulation—it’s about respect. Respecting their language, so your message lands.

What’s one conversation that would benefit from a style shift?
