There is strength in understanding how others naturally approach problems, opportunities and day-to-day work. My guest Erich Kurschat joins me to talk about the power of being self-aware and vulnerable in the workplace and how we can use the DiSC assessment to engage better and empower our teams.

Erich talks about his journey with DiSC and the key ah-has he sees with his clients. He says a key to maximizing your assessment is to be intentional with how you focus on understanding yourself and the natural tendencies of others.

We have our natural preferences and communication styles, and therefore we assume others align with us, and many times that is not the case. Erich describes how come into those interactions with an open mind allows you to be more effective.

The DiSC is one of the assessments I continue to come back to when I work with a new client or teammate to find common ground on approaching tactics, planning and overall communication.

If you want to find out more about DiSC assessments, other HR insights or connect with an insight introvert, you can find Erich on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/erichkurschat/, or through his company, Harmony Insights https://harmonyinsights.com/. You can also learn more through his weekly series DiSCourse on his website. Great way to intentionally learn more.
