Diary of an Extended DISC Trainer
Posted by Jeffrey Jewett on Thu, Oct 28, 2010 @ 04:32 PM
Over the last 15 years of my business career, I have done a lot I normally wouldn’t do. I’ve produced presentations using creative charts when I really wanted to produce bulleted lists. I’ve begun meetings with small talk when I really wanted to get to the facts. I’ve navigated the corporate matrix and still made it to the meeting on time and I have talked facts when I really wanted to talk shop.
I‘ve thought about the people when I really was worried about my project and I’ve produced accuracy when I was told to produce the idea. I have been critical when I wanted to be accepting. I have taught training session for 15 people using a supply of materials for only 12 and I have slowed down when I really wanted to speed up. And I have had to act routinely when I wanted to maneuver.
Among these, I have delivered numerous courses on the Extended DISC System and shared how my adjustments have made an impact. In my organization, we have taught numerous sessions successfully and the solution for getting people to practice it daily is still in the works. After a training event, people will revert back to their old ways of communicating and they tell me making adjustments is tough! Hmmm, how to do this? This is a work in progress but not sharing my experiences is something I would never do. Until the next time…
