KEY TAKEAWAYS.
- DISC is a low cost yet effective personality profile tool.
- Using DISC, you can identify which of the four personalities each person is and quickly pick out what they need and who they are likely to clash with.
- We all have a natural personality style and adaptive one we use in certain circumstances e.g. starting a new job.
- Most of us are a blend of the four personality styles. Usually, one of them dominates.
- You must not use the personality trait you have as an excuse. Instead, use that knowledge to catch yourself doing the wrong thing and correct things.
- Blending the right people together makes a huge difference to how likely it is to be successfully.
- Adapt the way you teach and the learning materials you use so that they work for people with different personality traits will make you more effective. Andy explains how.
- Use what you learn from Andy in this episode to quickly assess what personality type each client is and adapt your approach accordingly.
