DISC Behaviors is an enabler for improved communication and collaboration for your teams. The DISCy Chicks review what DISC Behaviors is all about. The Influencer and Steady styles are relationship oriented and the Dominant and Compliant are more task and data oriented. Martha shares that one of her clients is fully integrating DISC in the whole organization, so everyone can speak the same language across the organization. Another point is that styles that are very different from each other have the potential for conflict. This enables people to understand where the differences are occurring and how to work through these differences. Through conflict discussion, some of the best decisions can be made for the organization. discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute ttisi.com…
In the latest episode of the DISCy Chicks podcast, hosts Cindy Jacoby and Martha Forlines delve into the DISC Behaviors and Driving Forces framework, and more specifically, highlight the value of the Comparison Report that they and their vendor TTISI offers. An example of this report was shown for those people that use The Discy Chicks Podcast on Facebook. The report provides a side-by-side comparison of two people's reports. They close by explaining the top four ways they utilize this report with their clients, to help resolve conflict at work, comparing candidates for selection, onboarding new employees with their boss or co-workers, and lastly using the comparison report for family members. discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute ttisi.com…
Cindy and Martha, the DISCY Chicks broach the topic of the often dreaded Annual Performance Reviews. Listen up leaders...are you giving your employees regular performance feedback throughout the year? If the answer is "no", then you're more likely to have ineffective annual performance reviews due to "surprises" of negative feedback. Your employee's trust in you may go in the wrong direction, along with employee engagement and performance. The DISCY Chicks recommend having weekly one-on-one meetings with each of your people (for no longer than 30 minutes). The good news is the employee is telling you what they have been working on, how they are performing against their goals, what they need from you to perform better, especially for their growth and development. The employee goes first in these weekly meetings, then you take your turn to give them balanced feedback, which is applauding their successes and giving them feedback about what they need to do better in their role. The goal is to build trust through these one-on-one meetings. Trust is the foundation for all of your employee relationships. We invite you to listen to our tips on giving effective feedback to your employees. discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute ttisi.com…
They're back! Cindy and Martha kick off Season 7 of the DISCy Chicks podcast. Learn about how they integrate multiple sciences with their clients. DISC Behaviors and Driving forces is a mainstay for both of them; however quite often for their coaching clients they integrate several of the five sciences they practice. For example, they use the combination of: 1. DISC Behaviors, Driving Forces and Emotional intelligence, (which enables higher levels of self awareness and understanding the impact they have on others) 2. DISC Behaviors, Driving Forces, and DNA (25 competencies used by most professional roles. and identifying areas for development. ), 3. DISC Behaviors, Driving Forces and Axiology ("Axiology is a mathematically accurate science that objectively identifies how one's mind analyzes and interprets our experiences. It identifies how we are most likely to react in any given situation and helps us understand how we make judgments.” ) The value of using multiple sciences is impactful for their clients to gain insights into the "blind spots" they may have in their interactions with others in the organization. Building or re-building trust with your team(s) is possible. For leaders and highly promotable people in your organization this three science approach is a gift! discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute ttisi.com…

Show Notes: Featuring Guest Nancy Roberts owner of the DISC Wizard Nancy first used the DISC Behavior assessment in 1997 and fell in love with the power of DISC for her clients. Nancy works with her clients to help them with talent acquisition, employee engagement, and retention. For hiring she uses the job benchmarking process and believes all jobs should be benchmarked, as it improves the quality of the hires and longer term retention. Cindy and Nancy discuss the importance of the driving forces/motivators fit for the roles their clients are filling. If they don't get their motivators met in their role, they are unlikely to stay. Nancy also uses the 25 Competencies assessment, named the DNA assessment, and the Hartmann, which is a more robust assessment that gives you a snap shot in time of how a person's mind analyzes and interprets their experiences, and how they react under different situations. Enjoy the banter as these two share how they bring value to their clients. nancyroberts discwizard discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute…
The DISCy Chicks speak to the fact that DISC Behaviors are the science of observable behavior. Listen or watch the video as Cindy and Martha walk you through each of the styles that present on the high end of the scales. Here's a break down for you...the high dominants show up "large and in charge". The high influence style loves people, are gregarious, and energetic. The high steady style is also relationship oriented like the influence style, but they move at a slower pace and prefer to socialize in one-on-one settings. Lastly, the high compliant is not so social, moves at a slower more careful pace in order to do their best work. The steady and compliant styles are more introverted styles compared to the high dominant and influence styles. The next time you are stuck at the airport, have some fun observing others to practice your power of observation using DISC! discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute…
Succession Planning The DISCy Chicks wrap up they Employee Lifecycle series on using the many tools offered by TTISI to enable leaders to build their bench strength within their organization. The job benchmarking process is revisited as you look at the employees that you think are highly promotable. Cindy and Martha have conducted job benchmarking sessions for their clients using subject matter experts within a client's business. (You can listen to previous sessions on job benchmarking using the DISCy Chicks link below.) Once the benchmark is completed, you can then use the Tri-Metrix DNA assessment (that includes behaviors, driving forces and 25 competencies) to compare your current employee's qualifications for a promotion. Bottom line, you have more data to objectively choose the best employee for the job. This quote comes to mind for us, "Great leaders develop other leaders." discychicks.com cindyjacoby bizhelpconsulting.com marthaforlines.com belief system institute ttisi.com…
Applying Assessment Results for Employee Development Cindy and Martha share their experience and wisdom in strategically developing your employees. The DISCy Chicks recommend one-on-one meetings with your direct reports once a week for thirty minutes, which are accountability meetings for both of you. They also recommend giving feedback in a very specific way vs. a very generalized way. Remember to review your employee's assessment to make sure you are communicating with their style in mind to make your time together more effective. In these meetings you can flex your coaching muscles and help your employees to come of up with their own solutions, where your role is to ask really good questions. Mentoring is also another way to grow your employees by pairing them with a mentor that has strengths your employee needs to more fully develop. Lastly, you can give directions when you delegated a new task your employee has never done before! As leaders you are persistently improving your self-awareness and for this we use the emotional intelligence assessment, which is very robust. Enjoy!!

The DISCy Chicks talk about assessments that can boost the bonding process for you and your new employee. Why wait 90 days to see how your new hire is fitting in? We recommend on Day 1 that the manager review new hire's assessment with with hime or her and even better, to review the manager's report too. You can merge both reports into a comparison report to show the new employee's DISC profile as well as the manager's report, side by side. There is also the "gap report" produced during the job benchmarking process that indicates a new hire's strengths for the role as well as areas of development. And finally, we recommend updating your team report to include the new hire and share in a team meeting to see where and how the new team member fits in, and what he or she brings to the party!
