What is Everything DiSC® Worksmart?
Worksmart is the latest addition to Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™, created especially for managers. It is an optional add-on module in the Everything DiSC® Catalyst™ experience and helps managers apply DiSC to real, everyday management challenges, so leadership becomes more effective and practical from day one.
Worksmart has five learning modules in which managers practise core management skills:
- Giving constructive feedback
- Managing conflict
- Helping their team navigate change
- Empowering their team
- Motivating their direct reports
Five modules, about an hour each
Targeted learning modules with action plans managers can use with their teams straight away.
Module 1: Giving constructive feedback
Managers explore the challenges of giving feedback with personalised insights based on their DiSC style. They learn the four elements that make feedback strong, actionable and encouraging, and how to flex each one to their teammates’ styles.
Module 2: Managing conflict
Managers explore their own instincts in conflict and how others react differently, based on their DiSC styles. Through discussion and reflection, each manager creates an action plan for handling a conflict with a team member.
Module 3: Empowering your team
How to make sure each team member feels confident and effective when they take the lead. Managers explore their go-to way of empowering people, adjust it to other styles and build an empowerment plan for each team member in Catalyst™.
Module 4: Helping your team navigate change
A deeper understanding of change and how to lead a team through it: how each DiSC style responds to change, and what each one needs while adjusting.
Module 5: Motivating your team
What motivates and demotivates managers and their team members, by DiSC style, and an action plan for a working environment where people feel inspired and engaged.
How does Everything DiSC® Worksmart work?
Worksmart comes as one optional add-on package: managers get all five modules together on Catalyst™. They can work through them in two ways.
- Facilitated sessions, led by someone who knows the DiSC model and the Worksmart content, preferably a certified DiSC practitioner. The modules include discussion questions, so facilitators of every experience level can run them.
- Self-guided learning, where each manager works through the self-guided modules on Catalyst™ at their own pace.
Facilitated sessions are usually led by internal HR and L&D professionals who run management training, team leaders who want to develop their managers, or external consultants who lead DiSC sessions for organisations. New to DiSC? DiSC® certification prepares you to lead them.
How to start
- Managers take the Everything DiSC® Workplace assessment on Catalyst™.
- When the Worksmart add-on is switched on, all five modules open in their Catalyst™ account.
- Run facilitated sessions, online or in person, or let managers learn on their own.
- Managers keep using Catalyst™ to prepare for real conversations and build action plans for their role.
About Everything DiSC® Worksmart

Yes. Worksmart builds on the Everything DiSC® Workplace profile on Catalyst™. If your managers already have it, they can start straight away.
Do we need a facilitator?
No. Managers can do the modules as self-guided learning on Catalyst™. Facilitated sessions, ideally led by a certified DiSC practitioner, add discussion and practice with colleagues.
Can we buy single modules?
No. Worksmart comes with all five modules together. Managers can take them in any order and at their own pace.
