Many people who go through a Everything DiSC® training session often don’t open the Your Colleagues feature afterward. That’s a shame, because it might be the single most useful feature on the entire CatalystÔ platform.
Here’s what the Your Colleagues feature does. Once two people have both taken DiSC®, Catalyst generates a real-time comparison: overlap, friction points, specific tips for working together. You don’t need to remember anything from the training session. Open the app, pick a name, done.
Here’s a scenario that is common. A project manager and her lead engineer had been circling the same disagreement for months, neither one able to say why the other felt so hard to work with. The HR Business Partner pulled up their Your Colleagues comparison live on the screen. Thirty seconds. They were quiet, then she said, “that’s exactly it,” and for the first time they had language for what had been happening instead of just friction. That’s the moment this tool is built for, and it only happens if people actually open it.
The data backs up why this matters more than a nice-to-have. 39% of employees say their team, not senior leadership, is their primary source of workplace joy at work. Catalyst isn’t built for the org chart. It’s built for the person three feet away, which is exactly where Your Colleagues lives.
If you have Catalyst access and haven’t opened Your Colleagues recently, or ever, that’s not a knock on you. It’s a gap in how most of us move too quickly through our days. Fix it this week. Pick one colleague and invest five minutes to learn how you can elevate your relationship.
