Learners begin their Everything DiSC on Catalyst experience with Workplace. For new learners, this base experience is available for 15 credits. For past Everything DiSC® learners, this experience is available as a free upgrade through December 31, 2023.
From Workplace, you and/or your EPIC administrators can extend the learning journey to include Agile EQ™ or Management—both of which can be unlocked in EPIC for just 10 credits.
Everything DiSC Workplace®, Everything DiSC Management, and Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ on Catalyst™ refactor the traditional Workplace, Management, and Agile EQ experiences to better support real-world application of the learning concepts. The result is an experience that transforms the traditional once-and-done training event into an ongoing learning process. Three notable differences are described below:
Modular Design:
The traditional Workplace, Management, and Agile EQ content have been refactored into 14 learning modules. Unlike the traditional experiences, each module is self-contained and can be done alone or in conjunction with others. The design enables group training sessions that can be easily customized to meet a wider range of time or group-size constraints.
The Workplace learning modules include the following:
-
- Fundamentals Module 1 (60 minutes classroom/65 minutes virtual): Your DiSC® Style
- Fundamentals Module 2 (30 minutes classroom/20 minutes virtual): Your Colleagues
- Workplace Module 1 (75 minutes classroom/70 minutes virtual): What Drives You
- Workplace Module 2 (75 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): You and Other Styles
- Workplace Module 3 (60 minutes classroom/55 minutes virtual): Build Better Relationships
The Management experience has been refactored into six learning modules.
-
- Management Module 1 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Your Management Style
- Management Module 2 (30 minutes classroom/30 minutes virtual): People Reading
- Management Module 3 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Direct & Delegate
- Management Module 4 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Motivation
- Management Module 5 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Develop Talent
- Management Module 6 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Manage Up
The Agile EQ™ experience has been refactored into three learning modules.
-
- Agile EQ Module 1 (45 minutes classroom/40 minutes virtual): Your EQ Strengths
- Agile EQ Module 2 (95 minutes classroom/100 minutes virtual): Beyond Your Comfort Zone
- Agile EQ Module 3 (60 minutes classroom/60 minutes virtual): Develop Your EQ
Please note that all learning modules can be delivered separately or together in a single event. The intent of the modular design is to equip Facilitators with more options to address emerging learning trends around shorter-format sessions.
Immediately Relevant and Applicable to Each Learner’s Day-to-Day Work Life:
The Catalyst™ platform acts as a personalized, on-demand home base for learners to call on throughout their DiSC® journey. Here, learners take their DiSC assessment, gain access to their personalized results as well as their Workplace and/or Agile EQ and Management application content, and can compare their DiSC style to their colleagues and get tips for more effective interactions in real-time. This contextualized experience allows learners to apply what they learn with their colleagues and more easily come back to DiSC to help achieve lasting behavior change.
Virtual or In-Person Instructor-Led Facilitation:
To address the remote work implications brought on by COVID-19, the Workplace, Management and Agile EQ™ on Catalyst™ facilitation has been designed to support virtual OR in-person training and include the following:
- Virtual facilitation (for use with videoconferencing technology)
- Classroom facilitation (for face-to-face sessions)

Yes! Specific specials are:
- Any past Everything DiSC Management learner is eligible for a FREE Everything DiSC Management on Catalyst upgrade through December 31, 2024.
- Any past Everything DiSC Agile EQ learner is eligible for a FREE Everything DiSC Agile EQ on Catalyst upgrade through December 31, 2024.
These upgrades both include the Workplace on Catalyst base experience and are available for English profiles only. Please contact us to talk about your next steps.
No. The Agile EQ and Management on Catalyst add-on experiences both require the Workplace on Catalyst base experience. This means that to experience either the Agile EQ or Management application on the Catalyst platform, the total investment will be 25 credits for a new learner and will include all the Workplace content on the Catalyst platform. To experience all three applications, the total investment will be 35 credits for a new learner.
It’s important to note that once learners have access to the Workplace base experience, and the Agile EQ and/or Management add-on experiences, facilitators are empowered to mix and match the 14 learning modules on the Everything DiSC on Catalyst Facilitation Kit into any order that best addresses the needs and circumstances of their learners.
EPIC administrators will need to add Agile EQ or Management to each learner’s Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst access code in EPIC. This process triggers an email to your learners, welcoming them to either Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ or Everything DiSC Management on Catalyst™. From there, learners log in to Catalyst to see their new content!
Assessment Questions
The assessment includes the base DiSC® questions, plus questions to measure the Workplace priorities, Productive Conflict priorities, Management priorities, and Agile EQ™ mindsets. As a result, learners will not have to take new items when they are given access to future Catalyst content (when additional content becomes available). Sales questions are not included because they are sales-specific and not relevant to learners in other roles or functions. Work of Leaders® questions are not included because they would substantially increase the length of the assessment.
If the learner takes the full Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst assessment, it will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. If a learner was assigned Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst using existing data from a past Everything DiSC® experience, it will take ~5-10 minutes to complete.
Catalyst™ Platform Questions
Catalyst is a personalized, online learning platform that acts as a single access point throughout a learner’s DiSC journey. Designed to support instructor-led facilitation or for individual exploration, Catalyst integrates DiSC into the flow of work, ensuring takeaways are readily applied. With Catalyst, learners will:
- Take the proprietary Everything DiSC personality assessment
- Discover their DiSC style and deepen their self-understanding

A narrative-style summary of a learner’s DiSC style with access to style-specific podcasts.
Workplace:
Personalized content traditionally found in the Workplace Profile but refactored into three learning modules to coincide with the facilitation:
-
- What Drives You
- You and Other Styles
- Build Better Relationships
Your Colleagues:
A comparison capability that allows learners to find their colleagues and get tips for better interactions using DiSC®
DiSCology:
Basic information about DiSC theory and research
For learners who have the Agile EQ™ on Catalyst™ and/or the Management on Catalyst add-on experiences, they will also see the below content on the Catalyst platform:
Agile EQ:
Personalized content traditionally found in the Agile EQ™ Profile, refactored as follows:
-
- Your EQ Strengths
- Beyond Your Comfort Zone
- Develop Your EQ
Management:
Personalized content traditionally found in the Management Profile, refactored as follows:
-
- Your Management Style
- People Reading
- Direct & Delegate
- Motivation
- Develop Talent
- Manage Up
People will appear in the style filter for only the first letter or the first quadrant of their style. This is true for both the Your Colleagues page and the You and Other Styles page. For example, a learner with a Si style will appear in the S-style filter but will not appear in the i style filter.
Yes. A learner’s Workplace priorities, including additional priorities when applicable, are found within the Workplace feature on the Catalyst platform, and first introduced in the module, What Drives You. Here, the learner will find out their shading, their motivators and stressors, and three key strategies that might help improve effectiveness at work.
A learner’s Workplace priorities can also be viewed on any of the individual Your Colleagues pages within the Your Colleagues feature. Any learner can compare their Workplace priorities with those learners in the same organization using this feature.
Not at this time.
No. Catalyst is a platform where learners access their personalized DiSC content. Facilitators can use a webinar or videoconferencing tool of their choice to run a virtual session.
No. The content on the Catalyst platform is created and managed by Wiley and is based on a learner’s DiSC® results and the DiSC results of the people within their organization.
No. Learners cannot access the facilitation materials (videos, PowerPoint decks, and handouts) from the Catalyst platform. These will be provided by the facilitator.
Yes. The Catalyst platform contains video content that is separate from the facilitation for learners to explore on their own.
Not at this time.
The logo that appears on the platform is the logo that is housed in the database that powers the organization look-up feature in EPIC. If you create a custom organization, you are able to add a logo during the creation process in EPIC.
Yes. DiSC style podcasts are available within the Your DiSC Style section of the Catalyst platform. Learners will only gain access to the podcast that coincides with their DiSC style.
Not at this time. The Catalyst platform is a mobile-enabled website, designed for on-demand access from any device and provides a fully immersive mobile experience. However, it is not an application that you can download from an app store.
The Your DiSC® Profile Report (PDF)
Yes. The PDF profile is called Your DiSC® Profile and is available for download from either EPIC or the Catalyst platform. It’s a dynamic report, and the content will change based on which DiSC applications the learner has access to. A learner will have Workplace or Workplace + one or both add-on application content (Agile EQ™ and Management) depending on what the EPIC Administrator has provided.
The report can be printed from EPIC and used for in-person classroom training in the same way it’s always been used. In addition, learners can also download their reports directly from the Catalyst platform.
Most of the content in the report is the same as the content found in corresponding sections of the Catalyst platform, though there are some minor differences in presentation and organization. The report also contains introductory pages for each section that are not found on the platform and are intended to support modular facilitation. Conversely, some content on the platform, such as the Your Colleagues section, is not included anywhere in the report.
Many of the pages in the Your DiSC Profile report will closely resemble the content found in the Everything DiSC Workplace, Everything DiSC Agile EQ, and Everything DiSC Management Profiles, and the personalized information remains largely the same. Notable changes include the following:
- Introductory pages have been added that allow each module to be facilitated independently, if desired. The DiSC map at the bottom of each introductory page can be used as part of the “catch-up” content to reacquaint participants with the model. In addition, the You Will Learn section on this page identifies the highlights of each module.
- The Your DiSC Overview, narrative, and Overview of DiSC pages from the traditional Workplace profile have been grouped in the Fundamentals section at the start of the report.
- The Three Key Strategies for Effectiveness from the Workplace profile now follow the Motivators & Stressors page.
- To support modular facilitation, a table of contents page has been added at the beginning of the report, and the page numbering calls out the section of the report. For example, the four pages of the Fundamentals section mentioned above are numbered FN 1–FN 4, and the first Workplace module is numbered WP 1–WP 4, etc.
- Language changes such as new module names and some minor rewording of definitions and concepts.
- A new page, Learning to Stretch, has been added to the last Agile EQ™ module to help participants determine which mindset they’d like to work on first.
- The Management narrative has been removed because most of the same content appears in the narrative in the Fundamentals section of Your DiSC Profile.
Yes. Learners can access their Your DiSC Profile report within the Download Reports feature on the Catalyst platform.
The Comparison Report, Group Culture, Team View, Supplement for Facilitators, and Facilitator Reports are available for Everything DiSC on Catalyst.
