Listen "Better Communication, Relationships, and Leadership with DISC (Feat. Teri Whittington)"
Episode Synopsis
You know the popular DISC "personality assessment" but did you realize that it's NOT what most people think. It is truly a model for human behavior and a POWERFUL tool for improving relationships, conversations, and increases everyone's chances for success (professionally and personally).The model shows us our own unique combination of communication or leadership style, and how other people see us. This brings awareness of how we are showing up in the world and how we related to others. In addition, it provides a way to understand other people and suggestions for adjusting our language so that others understand us better. Priceless!The simplest way to understand a person's primary communication style is to ask 2 questions:Are they more Active or Reserved?Are they more People-Oriented or Task-Oriented?The answers will indicate one of 4 primary styles (Note that there is no style that is better or worse than others, they are not an indicator of success, and everyone is capable of flexing out of their own comfort zone into other styles' behaviors if desired.):D Style is more Active and Task-Oriented I Style is more Active and People-Oriented S Style is more Reserved and People-Oriented C Style is more Reserved and Task-Oriented See the image referenced in this episode here: https://www.envisionsuccessinc.com/discovering-communication/There are many versions of DISC assessments.
