Description

Today I’m going to deconstruct the Dominance Factor in DISC. What does it mean to have a High D in your DISC profile? What are your motivators or triggers? What if you’re not a High D but work or live with someone who is, is there an ideal way to understand, and communicate with them?I’m going to delve into all of that!But first, here is this month’s DISC illustration. I hope we have some Schitt’s Creek fans listening! If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it! I binge-watched it at the beginning of the pandemic and it was one of the few things that consistently put a smile on my face and made me laugh out loud.The reason I chose this to be the DISC comparison, is that while I was working on this episode, Heather and I had a meeting right around the corner from where the show was filmed. For the fans, yes, it was the Rosebud motel! We paid it a visit and snapped some photos. You can see me standing right outside of David and Alexis’s room on my social media, so have a look!Without further ado, here is DISC according to the Rose Family on Schitt’s Creek:The High D in this family of four is…Moira! She knows what she wants and she goes for it. She is determined to succeed despite the challenging circumstances she finds herself in. And while she has quite an extensive and creative vocabulary, she can be quite direct (aka harsh and blunt) while making a point.High I, hands down is Alexis! And speaking of hands, she epitomizes the quintessential hand talking High I. Alexis is very animated, loves people, is spontaneous and stylish.High S, is the Patriarch of the family – Johnny. He manages to remain calm (at least outwardly) amidst the torrent of emotions that frequently erupt all around him. He plods along, putting one foot in front of the other and never gives up the struggle to get his family back on their feet.Last, but certainly not least (and my personal favourite) David is the High C. He is cautious, has very high standards, is quite particular about how things should be done, and is very organized – I’m picturing his side of the room compared to Alexis’.

This podcast aims to explore the many ways we can uncover insights into ourselves and others, and how to ensure we are communicating optimally and making real connections. In each episode, we’ll explore a different method of understanding. We’ll look at conduits such as DISC profiling, emotional intelligence, introversion/extroversion, the Enneagram, grit and more. As you’ll soon DISCover, I am incredibly passionate about this topic and I will infuse fun ways to make it easily digestible.
