Simple Behavioral Communication Clues

This cast describes two simple communication behaviors to help determine roughly what someone's DiSC profile might be.

We get lots of questions about DiSC profiles when we provide them to clients or at conferences. Those of you who have taken the DiSC behavioral profile know why – it's amazingly accurate, and it's not about personality.

Knowing your own behavioral tendencies is helpful when working, either by yourself or with others. A core technique we teach at our ECC conference is how to analyze others' behaviors. If you don't know someone's profile (they haven't taken it or shared it), it's still not that difficult to determine their primary tendency enough to be able to significantly reduce the chances of miscommunication and conflict with them.

So what are a couple of simple behaviors we can look for that help us communicate with others?

ECC conference

Hello,

This podcast was very good. Id love to know more about the subjects you comment in it. Do you have some material for those who cant go to ECC conference because we dont live in USA. I know is not the same been there than just listening or reading, but that is better than nothing.

Also i have a question. One friend asked me how he can improve his mental force so he can do a better job in hard times.

Any suggestion. Thanks

Nice cast on a key skill

Guys

First time I've written in.  In my capacity as an escalation manager dealing with all levels of management in our customers it's key to effectively communicate with people without really knowing them, often on the phone.

The tools in this podcast are exactly what I was looking for to assist in improving communication.  I attended a DiSC session a few months back and was looking for a supplemental tool to allow fast assessment.  And here it is.

Nice job

Paul
