DISC Personality Styles, Vulnerability & Getting Unstuck in Business | Mendy Turk
Small Business Pivots
Ideal client profile and experience range
Mendy explains she works across company sizes and prefers owners around seven years into business.
Many business owners feel stuck—but rarely talk about why.
In this episode of Small Business Pivots, host Michael D. Morrison sits down with Mendy Turk, owner of Three Arrows Coaching & Consulting Group, for an honest conversation about leadership vulnerability, imposter syndrome, and how understanding DISC personality styles can radically improve communication, decision-making, and team performance.
Mendy works with established business owners and leaders—often 7+ years into business—who’ve survived the highs and lows but still feel unsure about their next move. Together, Michael and Mendy unpack why asking for help feels so hard, why most leaders feel like they’re “supposed to have it all figured out,” and how DISC reveals the hidden motivators, fears, and stress responses driving behavior at work.
This episode goes beyond theory. You’ll hear real examples of:
– How DISC shows up under stress
– Why indecision is still a decision
– How leadership communication breaks down (and how to fix it)
– Why self-care isn’t optional for business owners
– How vulnerability actually builds trust with teams
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to lead people with different personalities—this conversation will hit home.
