DISCovering You

Welcome back! In the spirit of keeping the DISC in the Discovering You podcast, Victoria will start each episode with a fresh take, or different vantage point if you will when talking about DISC. Since this is the March episode and the Academy Awards are around the corner, we will look at DISC through the lens (pun intended) of the movies. After that, we will pick things back up with enneagram type 6!

Welcome to DISCovering You a podcast that explores the intricacies of personality and how it impacts the way we navigate through life. Thank you for joining me on episode 2 of DISCovering You. In the first episode, we explored DISC as a behavioural model and gave you a brief history and overview of what it means and how it can be applied. I used some fun comparatives to bring it to life. For instance, if DISC was social media, it would look like Twitter for dominance, Instagram, for influence Facebook for steadiness and LinkedIn for compliance.

Today, we're going to go a bit deeper and get more of an understanding of what the low factors of DISC mean. I find in general that people have a good sense of what high D I S and C are, but they don't always know what the lower counterparts represent.  As always,  I like to find a fun way to illuminate it. Today I'm going to bring the Enneagram into our discussion. I find that a lot of people are really interested in the Enneagram and have a decent level of understanding. If you haven't heard of it, don't worry. I will do my best to explain it at a high level, for the purposes of today's conversation and down the road, I definitely plan to take a deeper dive into the Enneagram because it is so multilayered and an incredible tool to help with self-awareness and understanding and connecting to others.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of DISCovering You. I'm your host Victoria, and I'm so excited to be on this journey with you.

Let's get the housekeeping out of the way first. Who am I? And why am I doing this podcast? I'm the owner and founder of Discover What Works and I'm a certified DISC and EQ analyst as well as a certified team facilitator.

I am so intrigued by what makes people tick, why they behave the way they do, why they say the things they do, how our words and behaviours affect how we are perceived and of course, what the implications of that are. In case you're thinking this sounds super serious, don't worry, it is intended to be a lighthearted, fun exploration into these topics.

When I'm running team workshops or leadership meetings, I always find a way to infuse some levity because I believe that if we're having fun and smiling, when we're learning, it sticks. On that note today, I'm going to talk about DISC with some entertaining examples to illuminate it.

DISC is a behavioural model that identifies four quadrants of human behaviour and how they affect the way we show up in the world and interact with each other.
