DISC personality test gives powerful insights
Last Friday I gave a day-long Motivating Teams to Top Performance workshop to about 50 Independent Business Operators from Jus International. Part of the workshop was the DISC personality test (I’ve been certified in DISC for years, and it’s one of my favorite workshops to give).
It never ceases to amaze me how fast people grasp the power of the DISC language—and how much it helps them. After getting some cool emails yesterday and today from people who attended Friday’s workshop, I wrote back and received permission to reprint some of the comments:
Jon B. wrote me this:
Hey Dan– the DISC is working great today at the office! I have two project leaders I work with. One is a high C, the other a high D. Today, in separate meetings with them, I changed my language style and they responded really well!
I liked it because dealing with each person didn’t require emotion rapport — only getting tasks done, and not offering information other than what was asked. This has been trouble for me before because I was speaking “S” and they were speaking D or C. It was like Chinese and Russian. Some things in D and C just can’t translate into S and vice-versa.
I had a couple phone calls too and used the same techniques. They went much better. Thanks for such a great class!
Then there’s this from Donna J:
It was wonderful to see you light up the room with your presentation. I have just started my own appraisal business and I may want to develop further the DISC Assessment for my appraisers so they can work in the areas of their strengths.
If you’ve not learned about DISC language, it’s worth your time. You will be amazed that a simple, ten-minute “personality test” can give you powerful insights into how to communicate with people at higher levels!
