Knowing the difference makes you a better guide for your learners.
Worksmart’s Trainer-Led Leader Library gives managers a structured, facilitated experience with topics that matter the most to them. Now, the Worksmart Self-Guided Library puts the same core content directly in all employees’ hands—anytime, no scheduling required. Same key topics—different delivery! Use this guide to understand both options and confidently recommend the right one (or both!) for your needs.
| Self Guided | Trainer-Led | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | Designed for independent, self-paced learning. | Adapted for leaders and is designed to be delivered in trainer-led group sessions. |
| Who it’s for | Any employee already using Catalyst: no facilitation or scheduling required. | Managers and team leaders who benefit from a shared, facilitated learning experience. |
| How it’s delivered | Self-paced, on-demand e-learning modules completed independently. | Practitioner-led group session, inperson, or virtual. |
| Facilitator role | Minimal: The Practitioner’s role shifts to awareness-raising, rollout and follow-up communications. | Central: The Practitioner guides the experience, facilitates discussion, and draws out insights. |
| Learner experience | Individual: Learners move at their own pace and apply insights in their own context. | Cohort-based: Learners share insights together in real time, building shared language. |
| Best use case | Broad org rollouts, individual development, reinforcement after a facilitated session. | Team development, manager cohorts, leadership programs, highstakes skill building. |

Get to Know Everything DiSC® Worksmart
Today’s workplace demands stronger people skills, with less time and fewer resources.
Employees and managers are navigating feedback, conflict, motivation, and change in real time. But traditional training models can’t always keep pace. Time constraints, budget pressures, and scheduling friction limit scale and accessibility.
Worksmart is designed to meet learners where they are, supporting practical application in the moment.
Worksmart features five practical topics:
- Giving Constructive Feedback
- Managing Conflict
- Empowering Your Team
- Helping Your Team Navigate Change
- Motivating Your Team
The result? A stronger culture that drives engagement, productivity, and performance across your organization.
It begins with: Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst: The Foundation
The Workplace assessment and learning experience uses the DiSC® model to help people better understand themselves, appreciate and value different styles, and adapt to the unique needs of each person or situation they encounter so they can foster a more engaged, collaborative, and dynamic culture. All learners should complete an Everything DiSC Workplace assessment and facilitation as a first step.
Worksmart features five practical topics:
Module 1: Giving Constructive Feedback
Participants explore the challenges of giving feedback with personalized insights based on their DiSC style. Learners learn the four key elements that make feedback strong, actionable, and encouraging as well as how to flex each of the elements based on their teammates’ styles.
Module 2: Managing Conflict
Learners explore their behavioral instincts when they’re faced with conflict and examine how others have different instincts based on their unique DiSC styles. Through discussion and reflection, managers will create a custom action plan that will help them manage conflict with a team member.
Module 3: Empowering Your Team
Learners learn how to ensure each of their team members feel confident and effective when they take the lead. They will explore their go-to empowerment approach based on their DiSC style and understand how to adjust their approach to the needs of other styles. Learners build a custom empowerment plan for each of their team members using Catalyst™.
Module 4: Helping Your Team Navigate Change
Learners gain a deeper understanding of change and how to help their team navigate through it. Participants gain exposure to how different DiSC styles respond to change and their varying needs as they adjust to change.
Module 5: Motivating Your Team
Learners explore what’s motivating and demotivating for themselves and their team members, based on DiSC style. They also create action plans for fostering a motivating environment where people feel inspired and excited about their work.
