The DISC assessment is becoming more and more popular in the workplace. Many employers use assessments of employees to build a well-functioning team.

But did you know that as you consider making a career shift, you could also benefit from it tremendously?

The DISC assessment can help you understand your patterns at work and in life, help you improve your relationships and communication with others, make you more productive at work, and even help you choose the right career path.

In this episode, Katherine talks with Jane Roqueplot, behavioral consultant and founder of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, about how the DISC can empower career changers to find the career that suits them best.
