| Stress Response with Your Driving Forces | 05 May 2025 | 00:32:17 | |
The DISCy Chicks walk you through all twelve of the Driving Forces and where the pain points may exist, from a motivational standpoint. An example is about the motivator about relationships with others. The Altruistic motivator is all about being of service to others, being helpful. Their pain point can be their sensitivity to so many people being in need. How can they help ALL these people! Then there is the intentional motivator. They are motivated to reach out to others for a purpose, not just to be friendly or helpful. Their pain point is when things get too bogged down in the conversations they choose to have with others. They would rather get what they need and move on. We hope you find this podcast helpful!

| To hire or not to hire? Assessment data will help! | 16 Feb 2021 | 00:24:16 | |
Cindy and Martha walk you through the benchmarking process in order to understand the value of two reports you can use to make your best hiring decisions. The first report is called the gap report, which compares your candidates' assessment results to the job profile report created from the benchmarking process. The report identifies where your candidate is within the benchmark profile and where there is a "gap" in your candidate's profile compared to the benchmark. Remember, there is no PERFECT candidate! Use this data along with the information from your interviews and a candidate's resume to make a hiring decision. The second report is called a comparison report that is used when you have two or more candidates being considered for the same job. This report compares and contrasts all candidates, side by side, within the benchmark profile. Once again you get to choose who you think is the most qualified using the comparative data in the report. We have posted samples of these two reports in the resources tab on our website, DISCyChicks.com. Contact us directly via our website if you'd like more information about the job benchmarking process! | |||
| DISCy Chicks Come Clean about Motivators | 09 Feb 2021 | 00:36:18 | |
The DISCy Chicks admit that while DISC is our go-to assessment, we also use a companion assessment that beautifully complements the DISC behaviors assessment ...the 12 Driving Forces. This assessment measures a person's hidden drivers or what intrinsically motivates a person in life. Is it pursuit of knowledge, helping others, making money or one of the remaining nine drivers? Understanding what compels us to get out of bed as another step towards self awareness. Realizing that others are likely motivated by different conditions, great leaders learn the key motivators of employees and candidates they are considering hiring. This assessment is used by Cindy and Martha in the job benchmarking process to ensure candidates are the right fit for the role and for the culture of your company as well as team building sessions. Listen as they walk you through all twelve of the driving forces. There are four primary motivators that truly "drive your bus" every day concerning decisions and choices you make. Then there are four situational driving forces that you use when you need them and lastly there are four indifferent motivators that you really don't care about! Whether you are selecting new employees or using this tool for teamwork, it enables a good job fit and improved communication and understanding of others among your team! Another use of the tool is also for onboarding new employees with their manager, so they understand themselves in the context of their job and understand the behaviors and motivators of their manager and vice versa for the manager! We'd love to get your feedback on FaceBook about the 12 Driving Forces. | |||
| DISC IN ACTION | 02 Feb 2021 | 00:31:37 | |

Listen to discover that you are probably already familiar with two other pieces of Marston's work and they have NOTHING to do with DISC. You won't believe it! | |||

| No DISC Report? No Problem- Use the power of observation. | 18 May 2024 | 00:29:59 | |
The DISCy Chicks speak to the fact that DISC Behaviors are the science of observable behavior. Listen or watch the video as Cindy and Martha walk you through each of the styles that present on the high end of the scales. Here's a break down for you...the high dominants show up "large and in charge". The high influence style loves people, are gregarious, and energetic. The high steady style is also relationship oriented like the influence style, but they move at a slower pace and prefer to socialize in one-on-one settings. Lastly, the high compliant is not so social, moves at a slower more careful pace in order to do their best work. The steady and compliant styles are more introverted styles compared to the high dominant and influence styles. The next time you are stuck at the airport, have some fun observing others to practice your power of observation using DISC! | |||
| Lifecycle Part 5- Succession Planning with Assessments | 11 Apr 2024 | 00:19:01 | |
Succession Planning The DISCy Chicks wrap up they Employee Lifecycle series on using the many tools offered by TTISI to enable leaders to build their bench strength within their organization. The job benchmarking process is revisited as you look at the employees that you think are highly promotable. Cindy and Martha have conducted job benchmarking sessions for their clients using subject matter experts within a client's business. (You can listen to previous sessions on job benchmarking using the DISCy Chicks link below.) Once the benchmark is completed, you can then use the Tri-Metrix DNA assessment (that includes behaviors, driving forces and 25 competencies) to compare your current employee's qualifications for a promotion. Bottom line, you have more data to objectively choose the best employee for the job. This quote comes to mind for us, "Great leaders develop other leaders." | |||

You can merge both reports into a comparison report to show the new employee's DISC profile as well as the manager's report, side by side. | |||

Maintaining your leadership composure is important so you behave in ways that maintain credibility and trust with your employees. Enjoy! cindyjacoby | |||

| DISC in Action: People and Culture Manager Amanda Moser | 02 Jan 2023 | 00:41:03 | |
The DISCY Chicks kick off 2023 with a bang as Cindy interviews high energy Amanda Moser for our final recording for 2022! Amanda is one of Cindy's clients that is a BIG user and believer in the power of the DISC Behaviors and Driving Forces assessment. She was first introduced to DISC earlier in her career with a non-profit organization. Amanda benefitted the assessment when she (High Influencer) and her colleague (High Compliant) learned to communicate better and realized how much they complement one another verses focusing on the differences that may have created conflict in the past. Amanda shares how she is using this tool for selection of employees and nurses at Next Move, a premier travel nurse agency. Amanda uses DISC and Driving Forces when onboarding of cohorts of new hires to grow their self-awareness and to understand the impact they will have on those they serve on the job, and she uses the comparison reports for the new employee and their manager so they can best understand how both parties like to be communicated with one another. Listen and learn as this high energy, seasoned practitioner shares her applications of DISC behaviors and driving forces in her role. discychicks.com | |||
