Everything DiSC®: New on Catalyst™ – Worksmart Self-Guided Modules

Author: Julie Chance, Founder of Action Strategies by Design

In today’s workplace, technical expertise alone is no longer enough. Organizations are asking employees and leaders to navigate increasingly complex interpersonal challenges: giving feedback effectively, managing conflict productively, motivating diverse teams, and adapting to constant change. Yet many companies are struggling to provide learning solutions to build these skills in ways that are practical, scalable, and easy to apply in the flow of work.

Research from LinkedIn Learning’s Workplace Learning Report consistently shows that leadership and communication skills remain among the most in-demand capabilities across industries. At the same time, employees report feeling overwhelmed by long training sessions that are difficult to apply to real-world situations. Organizations need learning experiences that are flexible, accessible, and immediately actionable.

What if your team could build better people skills in 20 minutes?

Everything DiSC® Worksmart on Catalyst™ Self-Guided Modules are designed to help your team do just that. 

The five short, on-demand modules of approximately 20 minutes each allow learners to engage at their own pace and on their own schedule. These modules are designed for everyone in the organization—not just leaders or managers.

The platform focuses on five essential workplace topics:

• Delivering Constructive Feedback
• Managing Conflict
• Empowering Others
• Navigating Change
• Motivating Others

Note: If you already have Worksmart in your Catalyst account, these self-guided modules are available now for you to begin using immediately – at no additional cost. Take a minute to check them out!

What makes this approach effective is its emphasis on immediate application. Employees don’t just learn concepts—they practice strategies they can use right away in everyday workplace interactions.

Short-form, self-paced learning aligns with how adults retain and apply learning. Employees are far more likely to engage with focused learning experiences that solve immediate problems than lengthy theoretical programs disconnected from daily responsibilities.

Built on the Foundation of DiSC

Worksmart is built on the foundation of Everything DiSC® Workplace, helping individuals understand how their own communication and behavioral tendencies impact others. Short impactful videos personalized to the learner’s DiSC style and action plans help learners translate insight into behavior change, making the training more meaningful and actionable.

Organizations that prioritize practical communication and collaboration skills often see measurable business outcomes far beyond individual performance improvement. Stronger people skills lead to higher employee engagement, which is closely tied to increased productivity, stronger retention, and lower turnover costs. Improved trust and healthier team dynamics reduce workplace friction, minimize unproductive conflict, and accelerate decision-making and execution. 

Interpersonal skills like providing effective feedback and navigating conflict are no longer considered “soft skills”. They are business-critical skills that influence organizational performance and long-term success.

If your organization is looking for a flexible, scalable way to facilitate behavior change, Everything DiSC® Worksmart on Catalyst™ provides practical tools that help learners move from insight to action.
