In this episode, we talk about how you can adapt your feedback language to the person in front of you and why that is so important. Each DISC style has different goals and fears around feedback. If we are aware of our own style and who we have in front of us we can easily adapt so that the feedback is well received and appreciated.
in this episode, we talk about the people around us who tend to have a C behavioral style. We often see them as perfectionists who value accuracy, and correctness. The C are logical thinkers, they are analytical and systematic. They can also be great problem-solvers because they dig into a problem and stays with it until they have found the answer. The C style can be critical and holds very high standards for themselves and others.
In this episode, we are exploring our S friends. They make up around 70% of the population so most people around you probably show up with this style. They are people who love harmony and provide loyalty. They like their routines but they are not fans of surprises or turbulence. They enjoy the personal relationships but they tend to have a few close friends rather than a big circle of acquaintances. The S is known as a peacemaker who avoids conflicts and confrontations. They are great listeners and very understanding. In relationships, the S can turn out to be possessive or submissive, and as they avoid conflicts we can find them passive-aggressive sometimes.
In this episode, we talk about people who tend to show up with the I behavioral style. They are extroverted, people-oriented, talkative, enthusiastic, and optimistic. They love to have fun and be around other people. The I style can easily start a conversation with a complete stranger and is not afraid to be the center of attention. Your I friends are both very trusting, forgiving, and optimistic. They are great negotiators and can talk their way in and out of most things, the I style is known to be both persuasive and influential.
People with a D behavioral style like to take charge and be in authority. These people are usually very independent, they tend to be risk takers and self-starters, as well as being very goal-oriented and competitive. The D-styles are excellent problem solvers, they see the big picture, and tend to respond well to logic, reason, and information (but not emotion). Their assertiveness can be perceived both as confidence and pride.
In today's episode, we will give you an introduction to the behavioural assessment tool DISC. We'll go through what type of tool it is, why we find it so useful and how it has impacted our lives.
