In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, employees must effectively navigate disruption and change. This requires clear, motivating communication that aligns teams and empowers individuals.
The Everything DiSC Worksmart curriculum provides practical tools to personalize feedback and direction to create a high-performing environment.
In short, focused modules managers will practice:
- Giving Constructive Feedback
- Managing Conflict
- Empowering Your Team
- Helping Your Team Navigate Change
- Motivating Your Team
The Worksmart modules are designed for flexible delivery: Facilitator-led (in-person or virtual) or self-guided.
Self-Guided Learning
Getting everyone in the same room is hard. Worksmart can be provided as an asynchronous coursework to fit everyone's schedule.
Facilitator Led
Looking for ways to bring your people together to support each other's learning? You can run facilitator-led workshops too in either a virtual or in-person format.
How it works..
Worksmart is a dynamic training module that leverages Everything DiSC assessment data to personalize the learning experience. Each participant will receive content related to their DiSC personality profile throughout the course.
Step One
Everything DiSC on Catalyst Assessment
Managers will first complete the Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst assessment, which takes 20-25 minutes.
After completing the assessment, managers can access their Catalyst account to learn about their style, listen to a style podcast, and view comparison reports with colleagues.
Managers who have already completed their Workplace on Catalyst assessment can go straight to step two.
Step Two
Assign the Worksmart Training Modules
Next, learners can be assigned the Worksmart Manager Modules. Once assigned, they will have the ability to view all five modules:
- 1) Giving Constructive Feedback
- 2) Managing Conflict
- 3) Empowering Your Team
- 4) Helping Your Team Navigate Change
- 5) Motivating Your Team
Step Three
Live, Facilitated Workshop or Self-Guided Learning
The Worksmart modules can be delivered by a facilitator, trainer, or HR Professional. Scripted guides are available with the Catalyst Practitioner Experience.
Alternatively, Worksmart is also offered as self-guided, asynchronous coursework.
During the courses, managers will discover personalized insights for each module. At the end of each course, they will develop an action plan they can apply immediately
Follow-up Resources
Continuous Access to Catalyst
After the live session, managers will have ongoing access to the learning modules to create additional action plans if needed.
Additionally, they can leverage the Catalyst platform to get personalized insights about their direct reports on how to gain influence, manage conflict, and work more effectively together.
Is DiSC® Certification Required?
DiSC Certification is not required to use this training program. However, facilitators or HR professionals may want to become certified in DiSC if they are unfamiliar with the model. The course is designed to increase confidence and competence in using these tools.
The DiSC Certification course takes place virtually over two weeks. During the course, you will join other learning professionals and dig into the foundations of DiSC Theory and how to run a successful DiSC Workshop including using tools like Worksmart.

Worksmart Modules Overview
The Everything DiSC Worksmart modules combine the power of a short-form training curriculum with the personalization of DiSC. This combination helps managers learn new concepts more quickly and effectively. The module topics were developed based on extensive research into areas that plague workers today.
Each module is designed to be facilitated live by a practitioner or can be offered as a self-guided course in about an hour. After the training, participants develop an action plan to implement immediately. The modules are as follows:
Giving Contructive Feedback
Participants explore the challenges of giving feedback with personalized insights based on their DiSC style. Participants learn the four key elements that make feedback strong, actionable, and encouraging as well as how to flex each of the elements based on their teammates’ styles.
Managing Conflict
Participants explore their behavioral instincts when they’re faced with conflict and examine how others have different instincts based on their unique DiSC styles. Through discussion and reflection, participants will create a custom action plan that will help them manage conflict with a team member.
Empowering Your Team
Managers learn how to ensure each of their team members feel confident and effective when they take the lead. They will explore their go-to empowerment approach based on their DiSC style and understand how to adjust their approach to the needs of other styles. Managers build a custom empowerment plan for each of their team members using Catalyst™.
Helping Your Team Navigate Change
Participants gain a deeper understanding of change and how to help their team navigate through it. Participants gain exposure to how different DiSC styles respond to change and their varying needs as they adjust to change.
Motivating Your Team
Managers explore what’s motivating and demotivating for themselves and their team members, based on DiSC style. They also create action plans for fostering a motivating environment where people feel inspired and excited about their work.

Common Questions about Worksmart
Below are answers to some common questions we’ve experienced during the pilot programs of this new product:
Worksmart Facilitation:
- Are these modules meant for virtual or in-person delivery? The modules are designed for virtual delivery but can be adapted for in-person learning experiences if each participant has a laptop to access the content.
- Are these courses available as self-guided modules? Yes! Worksmart is available without needing live facilitation.
- How do I access the facilitation materials? You will need the Catalyst Practitioner Experience to access the facilitator guides.
- Where are the slide decks? This experience does not require PowerPoint slides. Instead, facilitators will use a simple script to guide learners through the Worksmart module experience on Catalyst. Make sure your participants know ahead of time that they will need to be logged into their Catalyst account during your session.
- How many people can be in a facilitator led, single session? The ideal size is between 5 and 15 participants. Smaller groups are possible, but discussions may not be as lively. Larger groups are also possible, but this will add to the length of the experience or require excellent time management.
- How much time does it take to run a session? Each module is designed to last 60 minutes, depending on the size of the participant group and the length of the guided discussions.
- Will this program replace Everything DiSC on Management? No, the Everything DiSC on Management curriculum is designed for a longer-term engagement (8+ training hours). Worksmart is designed for programming that takes less than an hour to complete with more targeted learning.
- What if some team members are unfamiliar with DiSC? Worksmart is designed for those who have already taken their Everything DiSC assessment. While they do not need to be experts at DiSC, we recommend they at least review their results prior to your session.
- Can the Worksmart modules be used for self-study? The modules are designed for facilitated sessions. While managers could read through the materials on their own, the impact will not be the same without the guided discussions and shared learning. However, after a session has been facilitated, managers will have ongoing access to the content to revisit key concepts.
- What do I need to run a virtual session? You will need access to a virtual meeting or webinar tool (such as Zoom) and the Worksmart facilitation guide. Your videoconferencing tool should include the ability to create breakout rooms for small group discussion. It’s also recommended that you, the facilitator, have access to a Catalyst account with Worksmart so that you can follow along or share your screen.
Purchasing & Administration:
- What does Worksmart Cost? The Worksmart modules require 20 EPIC Credits for each learner who is already on Catalyst and 35 Credits for brand new learners, which includes the Worskmart modules an the Everything DiSC Workplace assessment. All five modules are included.
- Can I add Worksmart to a learner’s profile who already took Everything DiSC Management? Yes, the Worksmart modules can easily be added to a learner’s profile who already has Management or Agile EQ content unlocked. Worksmart serves as a natural follow-on experience to Workplace, Management, or Agile EQ. However, it was specifically designed as a follow-on experience to Workplace.
- What is the price for learners who have access to Management on Catalyst? The Worksmart manager modules can be added to any learner’s Catalyst account for 20 EPIC credits. There is no price difference for learners who have other content on Catalyst unlocked.
- Can I buy just one Worksmart module, or do I have to buy all five? Everything DiSC Worksmart is sold only as a collection of five modules. You can not buy just one modules.
- Can I choose when learners receive access to each module? No – all available modules will be released to the learner once Worksmart is added to their account.
- How do I assign Worksmart to learners? Worksmart is available for assignment through the Catalyst Administrator Experience. If you are an EPIC admin and unfamiliar with the admin area of Catalyst, contact our support team for assistance.
Technology Requirements:
- Does this work on mobile? A laptop or desktop computer is the best way for learners to access the Worksmart modules during training, though content can also be viewed on mobile devices.
