DiSC® Catalyst - Everyday Connections

Learners develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others with a personalized assessment and single-access platform they can call on throughout their journey. Optional – Agile EQ on Catalyst for learners who have experienced Workplace on Catalyst.
Listening to Inspire Engagement
Amid a turbulent business landscape, leaders are instrumental in creating an environment where employees are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace. By examining the pillars of engagement, this program takes a fresh look at employee engagement by focusing energies on transforming behaviours in the workplace. Leaders who listen are able to create trustworthy relationships where employees feel heard and understood.
Unleash the Power of Teamwork
It takes great leadership to build great teams. Team Building requires a continual process of building on team members’ strengths, clarifying roles and responsibilities, setting goals, communicating, building trust, developing processes, and managing disagreements. Practical tools are shared for leaders to evaluate how their team is functioning, and develop strategies to course correct. Keep the team connected, whether they are working from home or in the office. Set clear intentions in your meeting agenda to balance time for results-driven focus with relationship-driven focus.
Maximizing Performance & Development
A majority of your day as a leader is spent either getting things done or sending requests to have other people get things done. To set the employee up for success you need to be skilled at giving crystal-clear instruction, so the employee understands, acts and gets it right the first time. One of the pillars of employee engagement is employees knowing what their roles and responsibilities are. Using a collaborative approach, engage employees in their own development by providing a practical tool for employees to share their level of expertise in their area of responsibility and align this with what they need from you as a leader.
EASE of Coaching
Developing quality talent from within is the secret sauce for leaders to retain engaged employees and stay competitive. Leaders build relationships of trust when they support employees to be all they can be. Coaching from everyday feedback to one-on-one scheduled meetings for support & career development to positive discipline are integral to the fabric of a learning culture. Leaders who are directly involved in coaching benefit from using practical coaching tools and processes to unleash the potential of each employee. When leaders coach employees become confident and motivated, which leads to higher performance, productivity and employee engagement.
Sparking Empathy with Productive Conflict
Workplace conflict is inevitable. Using a personalized assessment, Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict helps learners improve self-awareness around conflict behaviours. Rather than focus on a step-by-step process for conflict resolution, Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict helps leaders curb destructive behaviours so that conflict can become more productive, ultimately improving workplace results and relationships.
Navigating Change in a Thriving Culture
Leaders of all levels in an organization are involved in managing change. As a leader responsible for leading change you need to gauge your openness to change as your employees will be more likely to adapt to changes you support. Consider a proven model to use to guide yourself and employees through the internal transition that follows external change. Using a staged approach to communicating and managing change you can be prepared to set clear milestones and monitor progress towards achieving a successful change initiative. To support change initiatives, a character culture is examined and created to ensure your personal and organizational pillars and values are evident in actions and words.
