Podcast, Episode 70: The Power of DISC-Building Stronger Teams & Leadership with Karyn Taeyaerts - Counseling & Therapy Services

Description:

In this episode of Your Mental Health Business Mentor, Dr. Margo Jacquot sits down with leadership and professional development coach Karyn Taeyaerts to explore how the DISC assessment transforms communication, builds trust, and strengthens team dynamics—especially in mental health and private practice environments.

With over 15 years of experience using DISC, Karyn walks us through the four key personality styles (D, I, S, C), how each shows up in leadership, and why understanding your dominant style is the first step toward better collaboration. Whether you’re a fast-paced decision-maker or a thoughtful consensus builder, this episode will help you identify your communication patterns and enhance your professional relationships.

You’ll also hear real-life insights from Dr. Margo’s own team experience using DISC—including lessons learned about unspoken truths, stretching outside your style, and how leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all.

If you’re a therapist, group practice owner, or business leader looking to boost effectiveness, this is a must-listen!
