How to Stop Wasting Months Trying to Work Out Your Strengths and Blind Spots Without Even Leaving Your Office.
I can’t tell you how many women in workplaces say to me, “I’ve done DISC.”
And the next thing they usually say is, “We didn’t really do anything with it, so it just ended up getting shoved in a drawer.”
I hear that a lot.
And if you’ve done DISC before and didn’t really get much from it, that’s not you. It’s most likely the tool.
I’m a certified eDISC facilitator and I want to clear something up. DISC and eDISC are not the same thing. There is a big difference between the two.
So, What’s the Difference
DISC gives you a snapshot of how you tend to act or communicate- the version of you that shows up day to day, shaped by the expectations of your role and environment. It helps you see your outward personality traits, but it doesn’t show how much energy it actually takes to show up that way.
That’s where eDISC stands apart.
It goes well beyond traditional DISC models, using a deeper level of behavioural data to give a far more complete and accurate picture. Rather than just identifying personality traits, eDISC measures both personality and performance, revealing both sides of what comes naturally and what takes effort.
eDISC Maps The Gaps
The variance between your natural self and your adapted self, showing you where your energy flows easily and where it’s being stretched.
That insight helps you understand not only what you do, but also what it costs you.
This is where eDISC becomes really practical.
Your P2 or natural style, represents your most effortless and sustainable energy. It’s how you show up when you’re relaxed, confident and being yourself, the version that takes next to no real expenditure.
Your P1 or adaptive style, is the version of you that steps up to meet the demands of your role or environment. It’s how you think you need to perform to succeed.
When there’s a big stretch between the two, that’s often where exhaustion creeps in. You can only run on adaptive energy for so long before it starts to cost you.
It’s not that adapting is bad. We all adjust our behaviour to meet expectations or respond to pressure, that’s part of growth. The problem is when the stretch becomes too great, or when we don’t have ways to return to our natural home base. That’s when it starts to wear us down.
Why This Matters
Most of us can feel when something’s off, but we can’t see why. We try to fix it with more effort, more organisation, more pushing through, when what we actually need is perspective.
eDISC helps make the invisible visible. It shows what you can’t see from inside the pattern.
It gives you language and structure around what’s really going on underneath, so you can respond with awareness instead of waiting until exhaustion makes the call for you.
A Faster Way to Real Self Understanding
Your personalised 20 page eDISC report fast tracks what can take months, or a few tough life lessons, to figure out by trial and error. It helps you identify your natural strengths, your blind spots, and your most sustainable way to perform and fulfill roles in life and at work.
So if you have done DISC but never really felt seen by it, eDISC might be the missing piece.
