If you are like me you hated taking tests in school. Well, I’ll tell you right now this isn’t like that. It’s a 20 min assessment without math that is a simple and powerful way to understand your behavior.

DISC stands for Drive, Influence, Support and Clarity. Each of these tells something about you as you look at where you score.

You may say why are we talking about this? I can’t think of a better way to understand yourself and your team better than taking this assessment and putting the results into action. How many of us have people on our team that we great but for some reason we can’t seem to reach? It may be because you both have two different DISC results that require different approaches. Once you and your team take the DISC you will be amazed how much better you understand each other.

It’s tough when you feel your sales, hiring, and marketing becoming stagnant. You may have a good business with good leaders within it, but something might seem to be missing.

First, it could be your systems failing you. Second, it could be that your core values aren’t set up and you are not finding the staff you need. It could also be that you aren’t communicating your vision for the company clearly to those leaders who can really move the business forward.

Don’t get stuck in the “this is how Mom/Dad/the last owner always did things” mentality. That’s insanity! Time to make some changes... and they don’t have to be scary.

Check out this episode, as host Spencer Ward explains how basic adjustments can drastically shift where companies are headed.

Have you ever assigned a project to your team or employee just to have it overlooked or put on the back burner? Why do they do that? Well, I’ve dealt with the same things and I’ve learned that these people are working hard, but at times we forget to provide the clarity and vision behind these projects.

Helping them understand that if you do this, it will help your workload with that. Once they understand the big picture they are more likely to tackle that project head on. If you have done a good job communicating clarity and vision, that employee may not be a core value match and it may be time for them to find a job better suited to their talents and abilities.

How we react and respond when difficulties happen is key.

We are very good at getting down on ourselves and punishing ourselves until we find a way out of that problem…but even when we find a way and overcome that difficult situation or trial do we reward ourselves or praise ourselves?....Generally the answer is No.

We have to re-teach ourselves how to respond. We don’t have to choose to be upset or go into a nosedive of emotions. We can be positive and tell ourselves that you will get past this just like you always do because you are smart, creative and good looking..etc.

Tell yourself what is true, don’t lie to yourself and see how much better your life gets!
