The Power of Self-Discovery: Using DISC to Build Stronger Connections in 2025

As we approach the start of a new year, many of us are looking for ways to connect more meaningfully with others—at home, at work, and in our communities. But have you ever noticed that while some people seem easy to communicate with, others may leave you feeling misunderstood? This can often come down to the way we approach interactions based on our personalities.


This is why I’m excited to introduce my new book, Journey to Authenticity: An Interactive Guide to Self-DISCovery, and share its purpose: to help readers understand their DISC profile and learn how to apply it in everyday situations. Whether you're someone who values efficiency, someone who thrives in social settings, or perhaps you’re more analytical, each of us has a unique way of communicating. And by understanding our own DISC profile—as well as the profiles of those around us—we can adapt and connect more effectively.


What is DISC, and How Does It Help Us Communicate Better?

DISC is a personality assessment tool that identifies four primary personality traits: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each of these traits comes with its strengths, communication styles, and ways of responding to different situations. By learning about our DISC profile, we gain insight into:


  • Our Communication Style: How we naturally express ourselves and respond to others.

  • Strengths and Challenges: Areas where we excel in communication and areas where we can grow.

  • Adaptability: How we can adjust our approach to bridge communication gaps with people who may have a different style.


For instance, if you’re someone who falls under the Dominance (D) profile, you may be driven, goal-oriented, and direct. This can be incredibly effective in certain environments, but it may require a softer approach when interacting with someone who has a Steadiness (S) profile and prefers stability and harmony.


Applying DISC Insights to Everyday Interactions

One of the greatest benefits of understanding DISC is that it provides a framework for improving our interactions in every area of life. Imagine how knowing your DISC profile can help you:


  • Better communicate with a colleague who approaches problems differently

  • Build stronger, more empathetic connections at home by recognizing the needs of family members

  • Adapt to different social situations with confidence and authenticity


This is exactly what Journey to Authenticity aims to do. It’s not just about discovering your profile but learning how to apply that knowledge practically, so you can interact with others in ways that bring out the best in both of you.


A Workshop to Start Your Journey

To celebrate the launch of Journey to Authenticity, I’m hosting an exclusive Book Launch & Workshop on Sunday, December 29, from 2-6 PM at Table For 20 Event Space in Livonia, MI. This event will provide an immersive experience where we’ll dive into DISC principles, set meaningful goals for the new year, and explore ways to use DISC to create deeper, more effective connections.


Here’s what you can expect:

  • A deeper understanding of your unique DISC profile

  • Practical strategies for adapting your communication style to work better with others

  • Personalized goal-setting for 2025, guided by your DISC strengths and insights


This workshop and book launch isn’t just about self-discovery—it’s about using that self-awareness to grow, connect, and thrive. By understanding our own tendencies and adapting to the needs of others, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and understood.

If you’re ready to start 2025 with clarity, empathy, and confidence, I’d love for you to join me on this journey! Reserve your spot today and take the first step toward building a future filled with meaningful, authentic connections.
