Everyone is not like you! Have you ever said the same thing to two people
and received two totally different reactions? How can saying the same
words produce such different results? Each person “heard” you differently
based on his or her personality style! You said the same thing, but what
they "heard" was different.
Different is not bad, it is just different!
A lack of understanding of ourselves and others can lead to real problems:
tension 😤
dissapointment 😞
hurt feelings 😢
unmet expectations 😕
poor communication 🤬
As you know, it is hard to work with a problem, especially if you do not
understand what is going on inside the mind of another person.
There
IS
a Simple Way to Understand People! We call the concept
“The DISC Model of Human Behavior.”
DISC is a personal assessment tool used to improve work productivity,
teamwork, leadership, sales, and communication. DISC measures your
personality and behavioral style. It does not measure intelligence,
aptitude, mental health or values. DISC profiles describe human behavior
in various situations, for example how you respond to challenges, how you
influence others, your preferred pace and how you respond to rules and
procedures.
OK, but how we can use this knowledge in our life?
Have you ever considered that everyone has a preferred way of making everyday decisions? When you go on vacations or simply write an email?
Check this out!
DO NOT FORGET:
We are all combinations of each style. No DISC style is "better" than any
other, and we all use each of the four styles as we go about our daily
lives. DISC simply helps us find out which style we tend to gravitate
toward most — our comfort zone. With that knowledge, we can understand our
underlying tendencies and preferences and adapt our behaviors to interact
with others more effectively.
