"Welcome to Global Adaptive Coaching – Your Path to Personal and Professional Growth"
DISC Personality Profiling isn’t just about understanding yourself—it’s about transforming the way you navigate the world. From personal growth to professional success, DISC acts as a lens to uncover your strengths, improve your relationships, and create a life that aligns with who you are at your core.
Rooted in behavioral science, DISC Personality Profiling helps you unlock your natural patterns of behavior, showing you how you interact, communicate, lead, and respond under pressure. Unlike other models that box people in, DISC empowers you to recognize your unique power:
Dominant (D): Bold, goal-oriented, decisive. These are the trailblazers who turn obstacles into opportunities.
Influential (I): Outgoing, expressive, inspiring. These people thrive in connection, sparking enthusiasm and creativity wherever they go.
Steady (S): Loyal, calm, reliable. They provide the foundation of support and stability everyone needs to thrive.
Conscientious (C): Precise, analytical, detail-driven. Their dedication to quality ensures nothing gets overlooked.
DISC is a map to understanding your innate strengths, what energizes you, and how to avoid the stress traps that hold you back.
Thomas Erikson’s bestselling book, Surrounded by Idiots, masterfully uses DISC profiling to decode human behavior and interactions. It reveals how we all “speak different behavioral languages,” often leading to misunderstandings in communication.
Here are some key takeaways:
Red (D) types: Naturally strong leaders but need to be mindful of their intensity, which can sometimes overwhelm others.
Yellow (I) types: Enthusiastic and engaging but may struggle with focus and follow-through.
Green (S) types: Loyal and dependable pillars of stability, but they may avoid conflict even when it’s necessary.
Blue (C) types: Analytical and detail-oriented, but they may resist change unless presented with clear, logical evidence.
"The problem isn’t that people are difficult. It’s that we speak different behavioral languages." – Thomas Erikson
DISC helps bridge these gaps, enabling us to connect, collaborate, and understand others on a deeper level.
Burnout at work: You’re struggling but unsure why your role feels so draining.
Leadership gone wrong: Your efforts to inspire your team aren’t working, leaving you feeling stuck and isolated.
Misaligned relationships: Your loved ones “just don’t understand” your perspective.
Self-doubt: You second-guess your decisions, unsure of where your strengths lie.
70% of employees are disengaged because their roles don’t align with their strengths.
Over 50% of leadership challenges come from poor communication and mismatched styles.
Misaligned relationships often falter not due to lack of love—but due to lack of understanding.
DISC is more than knowledge—it’s empowerment. It provides clarity to navigate the chaos of life while offering actionable steps to move forward with purpose.
Before: Anna felt crushed under the pressure of her corporate sales job, she didn’t understand why she dreaded high-pressure deadlines and aggressive competition that other colleagues seemed to thrive on.
After DISC Insights: After discovering she was a Steady (S) type—calm, consistent, and people-oriented—Anna realized that her strengths were better suited for collaborative roles. With coaching, she transitioned into project management and saw her stress drop significantly while her confidence grew. Today, Anna thrives in a job where her strengths are celebrated, not strained.
Before: James, a classic Dominant (D), was frustrated that his team often resisted his decisive, fast-paced leadership style. Team members described him as “intimidating,” and James couldn’t figure out why his results-focused efforts were misinterpreted.
After DISC Insights: With DISC, James learned how to adjust his approach based on his team’s behavioral styles. For Steady (S) types, he slowed down and emphasized reassurance. For Influential (I) colleagues, he introduced brainstorming sessions to align with their enthusiasm. With these adjustments, trust was rebuilt, productivity skyrocketed, and James became a respected leader.
Before: Sophie, an Influential (I), loved spontaneity, while her Conscientious (C) partner depended on structure and routine. Their constant conflicts often left them both feeling unheard and unappreciated.
After DISC Insights: By understanding each other’s DISC profiles, Sophie and her partner learned to communicate their needs effectively. Sophie began scheduling her creative plans within predictable routines, while her partner embraced a little spontaneity. Their new understanding deepened their connection and reduced tension.
Before: Alex, a Conscientious (C), loved delving into details to ensure accuracy. However, their manager, a Dominant (D), dismissed this as “nitpicking” and pushed Alex to “just make it happen.” This led to tension and frustration on both sides.
After DISC Insights: Alex’s DISC profile revealed their natural need for precision, while their manager's profile emphasized speed and results. Armed with these insights, Alex learned to present essential details succinctly, while the manager agreed to allow for a little more time for critical reviews. The result? A stronger partnership and better project outcomes.
Before: Dave, an aspiring Sergeant and team leader, was determined to step up and lead his troop effectively. However, communication challenges and strained relationships within the team left him feeling frustrated and unsure of his leadership abilities. He also faced difficulties aligning with his next Chain of Command (CoC), whose assertive, Dominant (D) style clashed with Dave’s collaborative, Supportive (S) approach.
After DISC Insights: DISC profiling uncovered the source of the disconnect, enabling Dave to adapt his communication style. He learned to present ideas more assertively to align with his CoC’s results-driven focus, while his CoC gained an appreciation for Dave’s preference for teamwork and clarity. These adjustments not only improved the team’s morale but also strengthened Dave’s confidence, unlocking his true leadership potential.
Before: Claire, a Supportive (S) profile, thrived in nurturing patient relationships and fostering teamwork. However, she struggled when asked to take on an assertive leadership role during a hospital expansion project. Her hesitancy to make quick decisions under pressure led to inefficiencies and stress among the team.
After DISC Insights: Claire’s DISC profile revealed her collaborative and empathetic nature, making her ideal for patient-focused initiatives rather than high-pressure leadership roles. With these insights, her supervisor reassigned her to manage patient care programs, where her strengths in teamwork shone. The result? Improved patient satisfaction and a much happier, more productive Claire.
Before: Jake, a Dominant (D), launched a family restaurant aiming to scale quickly and maximize profits. However, his results-driven approach caused tension with his staff, who felt undervalued, and customer feedback showed declining service quality.
After DISC Insights: Jake’s DISC profile highlighted his ambition and focus on speed but revealed the need to balance these traits with Supportive (S) qualities for better staff engagement. By introducing team-building sessions and empowering his employees, Jake created a positive work culture while maintaining high standards. The restaurant saw a significant improvement in customer service and employee morale.
Before: Ella, an Influencer (I), dreamed of running a travel agency. Her vibrant personality was perfect for client interactions but made her neglect administrative tasks and operational planning—leading to disorganization and lost business opportunities.
