5 Tips to Make DiSC® Training Fun & Memorable

DiSC® training is most impactful when it’s engaging, practical, and easy to relate to. While the insights are powerful on their own, how you deliver them can make the difference between a forgettable session and a truly transformative experience.

By bringing energy, interaction, and relevance into your sessions, you help participants not only understand DiSC—but also remember it and use it long after the training ends.

Here are five proven ways to make your DiSC training not just insightful—but also enjoyable and sticky.

1. Gamify the Learning

Games boost energy and retention. Try:

• “Guess the Style”: Have participants identify the DiSC styles of well-known leaders, characters, or even each other.
• DiSC Card Games: Use any of our three card games to build engagement and teach the concepts.

These activities get people thinking in a fun, low-pressure way.

2. Make It Interactive

No one remembers a passive PowerPoint. Instead:

• Use live polls and tools like PollEverywhere, Mentimeter or Kahoot for quick quizzes
• Run small group discussions where people explore their own styles in real workplace scenarios
• Try role-playing exercises to act out how styles behave in meetings or conflict situations

DiSC is all about people—and people learn best through connection.

3. Use Real-Life Stories

Bring the learning home with stories. Share:

• Workplace scenarios where different DiSC styles either clashed or complemented each other
• Participant experiences to highlight how style awareness helped them shift their approach

This helps people see DiSC in action—not just as theory.

4. Get People Moving

Movement stimulates energy and engagement:

• Use the classic “DiSC Corners” activity, where each corner of the room represents one DiSC style. Let participants discuss their strengths, frustrations, and tips with others who share their style.
• Divide participants into groups for the DiSC Card Games or other activities. Switch up the teams if you’re running multiple exercises.

A bit of movement also breaks up long stretches of sitting and listening.

5. Make It Personal

Reflection turns insight into action. Encourage:

• Each participant to write down one concrete action they’ll take based on their DiSC profile (you can use the Taking Action page from the DiSC profile)
• Cross-style pairs to give feedback to each other on how to better work together (you can use the Comparison report for that)

When people apply what they learn right away, it sticks.

DiSC is about self-awareness and connection—and when your training feels energizing and relevant, people are more likely to remember and use what they’ve learned.

So next time you facilitate, add a little fun, a little movement, and a lot of interaction. Your learners (and their future teammates) will thank you.
