This cast gives our guidance on how to make an initial change in your behavior once you understand DiSC.

At our Effective Communications Conference, we teach attendees to observe other's behavior, analyze their DiSC profile and tailor their behavior accordingly. It's remarkable to watch as all the attendees learn to do this very, very effectively in less than eight hours.

At the end of the day, they can act as if they were any of the DiSC profiles for the five minutes we give them. In truth though, it's very hard to be a D if you're an S or a C if you're an I for more than a few minutes initially. Not only is it difficult, it's exhausting! It takes practice, more practice, and even more practice.

In this cast, we give you a simple technique for moving towards the person with whom you're communicating.

I finally got it

I was thinking of skipping this podcast because, honestly, I got a bit tired of hearing of DiSC from Mike and Mark. I am so glad I went ahead and listened to it though. I never thought about differences of perception of behavioural traits of one group by other groups. What is strange is that looking back, it's seems painfully obvious but it never clicked before for me.

Thank you Manager/Career Tools for another valuable episode.
