Ready to Discover Your Natural Strengths and Skyrocket Your Life on Every Level?

A Detailed Look at DISC & Motivators

The DISC report helps you interpret how you do what you do in terms of the amount of life energy you invest in the way you behave, based on your needs. The Motivators report helps you interpret why you do what you do in terms of the amount of life energy you invest in the way you behave, based on your values.

Research shows that most successful people share the common trait of self-awareness.

They recognize the situations that will make them successful. This makes it easier for them to find ways to achieve objectives that resonate with their passions.

They also understand their limitations. Where they are indifferent on the Values Scale determines where not to focus time and energy, thus maximizing all their eggs in the right basket at work and in life.

Those who understand what motivates them best are far more likely to pursue the right opportunities for the right reasons, and to attain the results they desire. Individuals who are properly aligned with regard to their personal value system and motivators will achieve more by accident than a misaligned individual can do on purpose.

You can align yourself with success.

Knowing what matters most to you will enhance your performance by helping you attain better behavioral and emotional alignment with those jobs and opportunities about which you are most passionate.

DISC

DISC is a simple, practical, easy to remember and universally applicable model. Based on the research of Dr. William Moulton Marston, DISC is the most widely-used behavior identification tool of its kind, supported by decades of research and continuous validation.

It focuses on individual patterns of external, observable behaviors and measures the intensity of characteristics using scales of directness and openness for each of the four styles:

• Dominance: How you address problems and challenges.
• Influence: How you handle situations involving people and contacts.
• Steadiness: How you demonstrate pace and consistency.
• Conscientiousness: How you react to procedure and constraints.

The DISC Assessment and Report makes it easy to identify and understand your own style, recognize others and cognitively adapt to different styles, and develop a process to communicate more effectively with others.

People generally make the mistake of assuming that others interact and think the same way they do, and many of us grew up believing in The Golden Rule: treating others the way YOU would like to be treated. Instead, consider another practical rule to live by - what Dr. Tony Alessandra calls The Platinum Rule®: to treat others the way THEY want to be treated. 

Advantages of DISC

In addition to building personal effectiveness in relationships and communication, many of the world’s most forward-thinking and successful organizations have relied upon DISC experts to provide them with distinct competitive advantages:

• Increase Commitment and Cooperation
• Build Effective Teams
• Resolve and Prevent Conflict
• Gain Endorsement, Credibility, Rapport
• Know or Understand Others (interpersonal skills, communication preferences, behavioral strengths, potential areas of improvement)
• Build common language
• Increase Sales

Understand the communication preferences of others and become a more valuable employee, manager and team member (person, partner, friend)

Motivators

The online Motivators Assessment is a result of the extensive research done by Dr. Eduard Spranger and Gordon Allport. These two researchers spent their professional lives discovering what drives and motivates all of us. These seven dimensions of values help us understand the driving force or the engine behind our passions and talents.

The Seven Values:

• The Aesthetic Value - The underlying drive for balance, harmony, creativity and form.
• The Economic Value - The underlying drive for economic and practical returns within the areas in which you are most vested.
• The Individualistic Value - The underlying drive to stand out as independent, unique and outside of the box.
• The Political Value - The underlying drive to be in control of our destiny or have influence on others.
• The Altruistic Value - The underlying drive for humanitarian efforts and caregiving, or to help the underdog.
• The Regulatory Value - The underlying drive to establish order, routine and structure — the black-and-white thinker.
• The Theoretical Value - The underlying drive for knowledge and learning, and uncovering and discovering the facts.

Those motivators you find to be your highest and lowest priorities determine how to invest your life energy.
