Stop Misreading People: How I & S Styles Shape Connection (Extended DISC) | Ep.3

A lot of disconnection isn’t a lack of care. It’s a lack of translation.In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews continue the Extended DISC conversation, focusing on the I and S behavioural energies, the people and connection side of the model.Because even when two people both care about the relationship… they can still misread each other completely.One wants connection through energy, expression, and interaction. The other wants connection through steadiness, safety, and space.And under pressure, those differences can feel like rejection.This conversation breaks down how I (influence) and S (steadiness) see the world, how they communicate, what they need, and how they’re commonly misunderstood.More importantly, it gives you a practical way to stop misreading behaviour and start responding with awareness, so connection becomes easier, not harder.Extended DISC doesn’t label people. It gives you language to understand them.Want to go deeper with this episode?
