DISC Enhancing Communication


The Primary “I” Loves it when you:

  • Give them opportunities to talk about their ideas, other people, and their emotions
  • Assist them in developing ways to transfer talk into action
  • Share your ideas and experiences with them
  • Recognize them for their accomplishments
  • Give them the opportunity to motivate & influence
  • Show them that you accept them
  • Explain the details but don’t dwell on them
  • Communicate with them in a friendly & light manner

But has difficulty understanding when you:

  • Do all the talking
  • Eliminate their social time
  • Ignore their ideas and accomplishments
  • Tell them what to do without asking their input
  • Give them the “detail” work
