Unleashing The Power Of Your Potential

Have you ever wondered why you do what you do and why you do it the way you do it? We become who we are at a very young age. We get accustomed to acting a certain way, communicating and interacting with others a certain way that eventually becomes us. An individual's personality remains relatively stable throughout their lifetime. You are who you are - embrace it. Understanding your behaviour and how it impacts you and the people around you can be the catalyst to unleashing the power of your potential.

Worth Remembering - "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves." - Carl Jung

Have you ever scored a behavioural assessment tool to help identify your preferred behavioural style? They are designed to assess a person's personality - how you like to communicate, interact with others, manage others, and how you want to be managed. Some popular assessment tools are the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Clifton Strengths and the True Color Personality Test. However, I use an assessment tool based on Dr. William Marston's DISC theory because it is easy to administer, and you don't need a Ph.D. in behavioural sciences to interpret the results.

Worth Remembering - "Whatever the circumstances of your life, the understanding of your personality can make your perceptions clearer, your judgements sounder and your life closer to your heart's desire." - Isabel Myers Briggs

Behavioural assessments are not an exact science - just a great indicator of a person's strengths. I've worked with several organizations that use them in their hiring processes to help identify their ideal candidate.

Based on Marston's DISC theory:

D - Dominant Styles feel most content in authoritative positions and are best suited for entrepreneurs, lawyers, and police or any work that displays power.

I - Interpersonal Styles prefer occupations that entail teamwork and collaboration and are best suited for public relations, sales, and marketing professionals or any position that involves working with people.

S - Steadiness Styles have a way of making others feel comfortable and at ease. They are best suited for a nurse, counsellor, therapist or any position that involves helping others.

C - Conscientious Styles are true perfectionists. Their analytical skills make them outstanding planners and problem solvers, and they are best suited as an engineer, actuaries and systems administrators or any position that requires maintaining standards and accuracy.

Stick with what you're good at and put your strengths to work for you. Scoring a behavioural assessment and determining where your strengths lie and what career path you may be best suited for is an excellent way of unleashing the power of your potential.
