DISC Temperament Analysis

Have you ever wondered why it is that some people seem to get you and others dont?

Have you ever wondered why it is that you can say the same thing to two different people and they react very differently?

From a business perspective, this is a huge deal. Sending the right message in the wrong way is non-productive, inefficient, and could be stressful for both parties.

If you want to know more about how you can understand yourself more, link here to complete an online assessment for yourself.

If you want to develop a habit that will increase your personal effectiveness then heed this advice from Stephen Covey:

“Communication is the most important skill in life. You spend years learning how to read and write, and years learning how to speak. but what about listening? What training have you had that enables you to listen so you really, deeply understand another human being? Probably none, right?

If you’re like most people, you probably seek first to be understood; you want to get your point across. And in doing so, you may ignore the other person completely, pretend that you’re listening, selectively hear only certain parts of the conversation or attentively focus on only the words being said, but miss the meaning entirely. So why does this happen? Because most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand."

Learn how to interpret how others see, hear and understand you by knowing their temperament and their preferred communication style.
