Episode 2: We Do Our DISC Assessments

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss our different styles using the DISC Assessment. We discuss how our differences make us stronger as a couple and make it easier to work together and be successful when we work together. The DISC Assessment measures an individual’s work style.

In this second episode of the brand new I Do, We Do podcast that I recent launched with my wife, Ashley Alaniz-Moyer, we discuss our different styles using our DISC Assessments. I use this assessment a lot in the work I do with leaders in organizations. It is an extremely valuable tool for hiring, culture fits, leadership development, coaching and better understanding team members.

In the this episode, Ashley and I discuss how our differences make us stronger as a couple and make it easier to work together and be successful when we work together. The DISC Assessment measures an individual’s work style. It looks at how you act, how you get results, how you communicate, etc.

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

  • What does DISC mean? D – Dominant, I – Influencing, S – Steadiness, C – Compliance
  • We go through the first couple of pages of our DISC reports and exchange which information was spot-on accurate about each other and elaborate by providing specific examples
  • We look at the ways we should communicate with each other (i.e. Ashley likes to talk for social purposes, whereas I like to “stick to business—let me decide if I want to talk socially.”)
  • “I think we both feel anger equally, but I think we express it in different ways.” (i.e. raising your voice, or cry privately to self)
  • Discussed ways NOT to communicate with each other
    • I doesn’t like being told what to do
  • We talk a lot about how the DISC Assessment kind of highlights our differences when looking at each other’s styles
  • “Opposites don’t attract, but they complete each other”
  • “Conflict arises when values and motivators (how or what motivates an individual) differ between two people”
  • “We use our differences to be effective and better together.”
