change doesn't have to suck!

DiSC C personalities don't resist change on purpose — they just need it to be right first. In the final episode of The Change Nerd's DiSC & Change series, Jason and Stacy (two proud I's) flip the script and talk about their opposite: the C (Conscientious) style. Detail-obsessed, accuracy-driven, and quietly powerful, C's are the ones who make every idea better — but they can also get so deep in the details that the launch never happens. You'll learn why you should never pop by a C's desk with small talk, how to give them feedback without damaging trust, and what happens when there's no deadline (hint: it goes on forever). Plus, the one small habit that changed the entire trajectory of Stacy's life: switching her nail polish color. If you're a C, this one's for you — and yes, the research backs it up. 0:06 – Intro: The final video in the DiSC & Change series 0:55 – What it's like being an I working with C's 1:55 – What C's actually want from a conversation 4:00 – The "Are you sure?" story — C's as idea refiners 5:31 – Good at something doesn't mean it's right for you 6:26 – Using DiSC for career guidance 7:08 – The DiSC student career test 10:32 – How to approach a C at work (skip the small talk) 12:37 – Who C's should reach out to when stuck 13:43 – Coaching a C through analysis paralysis 16:13 – Give C's a deadline or it never ends 16:35 – Getting a C comfortable with "good enough" 17:40 – What C's should celebrate and work on 💬 Are you a C?

DiSC S personalities don't resist change because they're weak — they resist it because security is everything to them. In Part 3 of The Change Nerd's DiSC & Change series, Jason and Stacy Mulligan break down the S (Steady) style: the quiet backbone of every team, the builders of systems and processes, and the ones most likely to disappear without a word if you push them too far. You'll learn why dropping a major change on an S at 4:45pm for an 8am rollout is a recipe for disaster, why 69% of the population is wired this way (meaning most people you're leading are S's), and what passive friction looks like when an S has been pushed past their limit. Stacy also shares how to actually get an S on board — and it starts with asking about their family before you hit them with anything else. If you are an S, this one's for you — and yes, you're going to be alright. 0:06 – Intro and series recap 0:40 – Setting the tone: "You're going to be alright" 1:53 – How life seasons shift your DiSC style 3:09 – S's are Captain America — here's why 3:35 – Why last-minute change is devastating for S's 5:45 – Will an S speak up when they're disrupted? 6:52 – Why S's quietly leave and don't come back 7:53 – 69% of people are S — what that means for change leaders 8:54 – DiSC assessment tools from Stacy 10:59 – Passive friction: how S's resist change quietly 12:52 – What S's should celebrate and watch out for 💬 Are you an S?

DiSC I personalities make change look easy — until the fun runs out. In Part 2 of The Change Nerd's DiSC & Change series, Jason and Stacy Mulligan (both proud I's) take an honest, hilarious look at how Influencers approach change. Spontaneous, inspiring, and full of energy, I's can get anyone on board with almost anything — including buying 54 gumball machines for a one-bedroom apartment. But what happens when the thrill of the chase wears off? You'll learn how I's inspire vs. how D's motivate, why their passion can sometimes read as chaos or anger, and how they can accidentally create change fatigue in the people around them. Plus, Stacy shares the one skill every I needs: inspire on purpose, give the Cliff Notes, and read the room. If you've ever said "I have a great idea" and meant it completely every single time — this one's for you. 0:06 – Intro and DiSC series recap 0:55 – What makes I's different from D's 1:25 – How I's naturally approach change 2:44 – I's inspire; D's motivate — the difference 4:54 – Why I's lose interest when the fun disappears 5:45 – How to build structure as a DiSC I 9:21 – When I passion gets mistaken for anger 11:48 – Reputational risks: starting things and not finishing 15:50 – How to spot DiSC styles from their texts and emails 18:42 – How I's accidentally cause change fatigue 19:37 – Advice for I's: give the Cliff Notes, not the whole story 💬 Are you a DiSC I?

DiSC D personalities drive change fast — but working with them (or being one) takes some know-how. In this episode of The Change Nerd, Jason sits down with Stacy Mulligan, the DiSC Queen, to break down how the Dominant (D) style shows up when change is happening. From the "gird your loins" energy they bring into a room to the real emotional body count they can leave behind, you'll get honest, practical insight into what makes D's tick — and how every other DiSC style can work with them more effectively. You'll learn why D's skip the feelings (it's not personal), what the opposite style should do before engaging a D, and the one small shift that makes a huge difference: leave a crumb. Stacy also shares a free DiSC assessment for anyone ready to figure out where they land. 0:06 – Intro: Meet Stacy Mulligan, the DiSC Queen 0:50 – What change looks like with a D personality 2:15 – Why D's are perfect when urgency is high 3:38 – The case for watching your opposite DiSC style 5:55 – How all 4 styles can work together through change 8:05 – Stacy's free DiSC test and resources 9:43 – Advice for D's: leave a crumb 11:48 – DiSC and the "Why this, why now?" change question 13:50 – Why DiSC styles get misunderstood 18:59 – Where to find Stacy Mulligan 💬 What's your DiSC style?
