DISC Enhancing Communication

The Primary “D” Loves it when you:

• Are brief, direct, and to the point when explaining yourself
• Ask “what” not “how” questions
• Focus on the results (they desire results)
• Give them the “bottom line” when describing a situation
• Suggests ways to help them solve problems
• Highlight the benefits when telling them about your ideas
• Agree with facts rather than emotions when agreeing
• Discuss a problem in light of how it will slow results

But has difficulty understanding when you:

• Ramble or repeat yourself
• Focus on problems instead of solutions
• Make generalizations
• Make statements without support
