Everything DiSC® Launches Worksmart™: A Game-Changer for Leadership Agility
In a world where business landscapes shift faster than ever, soft skills often determine success. Recognizing this, Wiley’s latest evolution of Everything DiSC® Worksmart on Catalyst™—emerges as a timely innovation. With Worksmart, Catalyst becomes not just a learning platform, but a flexible, on-demand training ecosystem built to empower leaders to adapt in real time.
What Is Worksmart on Catalyst?
Everything DiSC Worksmart® is a collection of targeted learning modules within the Catalyst platform. Designed specifically for managers and team leaders, Worksmart focuses on high-impact topics that otherwise receive fragmented attention in traditional leadership training. These short, focused learning journeys tackle common leadership demands such as:
- Delivering constructive feedback
- Managing conflict
- Motivating teams
- Empowering team members
- Helping teams navigate change
Each module sits at the intersection of behavioral science and real-world application—providing not just insight, but action.
Why Worksmart Matters Now
1. Just-In-Time Learning
With busy schedules and distributed teams, it’s tough to gather everyone for a multi-day leadership course. Worksmart addresses this by offering micro-learning modules that you can complete in minutes. Need a quick conflict-resolution tactic before a meeting? Worksmart has your back—no prep required.
2. Rooted in DiSC Insights
While many leadership frameworks deliver generic advice, Worksmart is grounded in Everything DiSC philosophy: understanding one’s behavioral style and how it interacts with others. Each module personalizes recommendations based on the user’s DiSC style, transforming general advice into actionable insights that resonate with real behaviors.
3. Continuous Development
One of Catalyst’s core strengths is its ability to support ongoing learning—and Worksmart doubles down on that. Whether you’re freshly certified or an experienced DiSC practitioner, you can return to Worksmart modules any time to refresh your skills, re-align with your style, or get immediate support during moments of change.
What’s Inside Worksmart
Each Worksmart module is structured to deliver deep value quickly:
| Component | What It Delivers |
| Targeted Insight | Focused on a specific leadership challenge (e.g., giving feedback) |
| DiSC-Based Adaptation | Insights tailored to different behavioral styles like D, i, S, C |
| Short Training Journey | About 60 minutes total, broken into bite-size tasks |
| Action Planning | Reflective exercises and written plans to apply learning immediately |
These tools don’t just inform—they drive action in context. And because Worksmart lives inside Catalyst, you can revisit content later, track your progress, and reinforce your learning.
Real-World Value: Faster Decisions, Stronger Teams
Organizations using Worksmart have seen noticeable improvements. In one client case, managers tapped into the “Empowering Your Team” module during a leadership restructure. Instead of relying on a one-off workshop, they retrained, reflected, and applied insights in real-time. Result? Employees reported a 35% increase in perceived autonomy, and leader time spent in escalations dropped significantly.
Key benefits organizations report:
- Improved confidence during high-pressure communication (e.g., performance discussions, conflict situations)
- Faster alignment on leadership style across changes like mergers and new teams
- Cultural reinforcement, tying DiSC language into daily operations beyond leadership training week
