DISC Training – Personality Types

Eric Vickery, President of Coaching, is interviewed by Alex Nottingham, JD, MBA on Dental All-Stars to discuss the DISC profile and its significance in effective communication with dental patients. DISC is a simple yet powerful tool that helps customize communication based on individual personality types. By understanding how people prefer to receive information, dental professionals can enhance their communication skills and improve patient experience. The episode delves into the four behavioral styles represented by the DISC profile: D (dominant), I (influencing), S (steadiness), and C (conscientiousness). Each style has distinct preferences and fears, and tailoring communication accordingly can lead to better patient rapport and increased case acceptance. The episode emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, understanding others, and adapting communication styles to create a comfortable and effective dental environment.
