“Cracking the Code: How Your Communication Style Shapes Your Relationships and Career

I’m a DISC expert and the curse of knowledge makes me assume everyone knows what that is, but for those who don’t DISC is a methodology for understanding personality traits. I’m not going to debate how it compares to other brands, because it is just that, a brand. And it’s the one I’m trained in.

Sometimes, particularly in a social environment, for a bit of fun I’ll do the mystic meg bit (although it really is science based) and tell people all about their social style traits and strengths, and depending how I read their response I may even have some fun teasing them about the over use of these strengths…

And I’ll be honest, there are some people who are more difficult to read than others.

Once you learn your style and how different personalities hear what (and more importantly how) you say something you have the opportunity to modify if you want to…

Which brings me to an important point.

Why would you want to change who you are??

Like it or not we judge people within seconds and often misjudge based on our own experiences and stereotypes.

So I’m going to give you two examples where the ability to read others (even just a bit) and some enhanced self awareness will pay dividends BIG TIME!

The first is personal because we are in an age where the stats for people feeling lonely are unbelievable!

But…If you struggle to get passed the first date, or build friendships and you would rather life wasn’t like this.

I can help….

The second is professional, now as someone who is more interested in getting the task done than engaging in small talk I know some of you will will shrug at this.

But like it or not unless you’re admired for your ability to dictate (your way or no way). It’s more than likely that you’re not getting the best out of your teams, maybe you even intimidate your network?

I’m a massive proponent for authenticity but also understand when sometimes you have to dial it down to let the relationship building begin. Once the ice has broken and you understand how each other prefer to communicate you take it less personally and can smile at someone’s direct approach or gently ask someone to get to the point with out offence.

As I write this I can feel the passion rising for the opportunity to share my knowledge and help make us all better communicators better connectors.
