Set Your Goals for This Year with Everything DiSC on Catalyst
How Can I Use Everything DiSC on Catalyst to Set My Development Goals for This Year?
Quick Answer:
Start with self-awareness, then build development goals that stretch (not fight) your natural DiSC style. Catalyst makes it easy to get personalized recommendations to get yourself into a state of flow.
I love being outdoors and in winter, that means hitting the slopes. I’m not likely to be an Olympic champion, but I am absolutely a solid, green hill skier. Here’s the thing. I didn’t start skiing until just a few years ago. I was always afraid. My Conscientious style used to keep me from exciting adventures and taking risks, but that all changed when I started using Everything DiSC on Catalyst to inform my annual goals. Now that I plan for how I want to think, work, and live, my goals have become simpler, more achievable, and a lot more fun!

Let's Set Your Goals...
Q: How does DiSC connect to goal setting?
A: Your style has so many strengths and motivators that come along with it. The more you use those attributes, the more you‘ll thrive. Mihaly Csikszentmihayli, author of the book Flow said...
The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times, although such experiences can also be enjoyable, if we have worked hard to attain them. The best moments are those “in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.”
Start by identifying identifying the attributes that give you the greatest sense of flow, and use those to set goals for this year.
Q: How do I use Catalyst for goal planning?
A: Start by using Everything DiSC on Catalyst to explore your style, strengths, and opportunities. Check out these three sections:
Your Story: List your strengths and how you can develop or utilize them more throughout the year to achieve something new or gain momentum.
Your Motivators & Stressors: List the motivators that you currently have in your life today and how you can spend more time on those types of activities this year. List your stressors that you have in your life today and how you can minimize or eliminate them this year.
Develop Yourself: Consider the recommendations in this section as ways you can round yourself out. How might implementing these recommendations give you more traction?
You might also have additional features in Catalyst like:
Agile EQ: Explore these modules to identify your natural mindsets and ways to build your stretch mindsets so you can be more confident, prepared, and successful in any situation.
Management: Use these modules to identify ways to create a higher performing team. The stronger your team is, the better chance you’ll have of achieving your professional and personal goals.
Talk to your in-house Everything DiSC Administrator or give me a shout to get access to the Agile EQ and Management modules if they aren’t in your Catalyst menu today.
Q: Once I understand my DiSC Profile, how do I turn that insight into goals?
A: Just answer a few questions:
What could I spend time doing this year that would put me in the greatest state of flow?
What would I have by the end of this year if I spend more time doing those things?
Why is achieving the outcomes in question 2 important to me?
What small steps or habits can I put in place to get started today and to keep my momentum strong throughout the year?
Q: Can I use my DiSC Profile to set personal goals in addition to professional goals?
A: Absolutely! In fact, everything I’ve written above works at work and at home. Your style transcends all aspects of your life. Consider relationships you’d like to establish or improve, how you’d like your living space to look to create a state of flow, and even the types of activities that align with your style to achieve your personal wellness goals. Each aspect of your life fuels the others.
Q: How can Human Resources teams or business unit managers use this process to help their teammates to set development goals?
A: Whether you’re in HR or managing a business unit, organizational leaders always make the best coaches. And, coaching begins with self-awareness and goal-setting. So, this is the perfect process to help your team members start the year with clarity and focus based on their styles. Your team can complete their own Everything DiSC on Catalyst profiles and follow the steps above. Then, they can share their goals and progress with each other throughout the year to create the perfect accountability system.
