Potentia Assessments returns to the Culture Camp Podcast to talk reading people with DISC.

In this episode of Culture Camp: Host Jason is joined by David Spader and Leigh Quinn of Potentia Assessments to talk about how to read people and adapt the way you communicate using the DISC model. Here’s what you’ll hear about:

• Reading people: everybody does it instinctively, and this episode makes it conscious
• The two factors: whether a person is direct or indirect, and whether they’re controlling or relating
• The four DISC styles: Dominant Director, Interacting Socializer, Steady Relator, and Cautious Thinker
• The goal and the fear: what motivates each style and what it works to avoid
• It’s not a box: why DISC describes habits and preferences, not a fixed personality cage
• Primary and secondary styles: why more than 80% of us show two styles, not one
• A short history of DISC: from William Marston to John Geier to Dr. Michael O’Connor’s refinements
• Style as an excuse or a weapon: the two most common ways people misuse DISC, and how to avoid them
• Adapting to be effective: meeting people at their level without changing who you are
