Did You Know There is magic in you!

Hello friends - old and new! The following was a post from one of Carol's blog site that I wanted to share with you, as I think there is some great info in it for understanding your BEINGNESS Quotient. 

Did you know there is magic in YOU? 

There is. It is found in your Beingness – and your Beingness Quotient is what we are going to increase. You get it the more awake and aware you are and how much attention you place on improving your IQ, your EQ, and thus, your BQ!

 This Blog post is going to reveal it! You’ll be getting many valuable tips and insights to help you understand yourself and others better. You’ll see there is magic in terms of each different personality style people bring. And you’ll learn how to adapt your own style to be the most effective – with anyone and in any type of situation.

We are all different in every different situation.  What the BQI DISC PeopleSmart Method teaches is a way to really “see” others when they walk in a room. Most people relate to you from who you are BEING. Most people know you from what they can observe. Your observable behavior speaks volumes about you!

So do you know what it is saying?  You will learn that here in this blog.

I love teaching and writing about the truth – starting with what and who people are being.  We call it your Beingness Quotient - that FULL potential of YOU that is expressing who you are and who you want to be – whether you even know it or not. It is what allows you to appreciate others - just for who they are - too!

As you already know, your personality is not the whole story about you. Of course it isn’t! There is so much more that even your best friends may not know about who you are deep inside. 


But isn't it true that a certain 'way of being' walks in the door when you show up – a something that wasn’t already there before you came in? And wouldn't it be useful to know what others admire and like about you? And wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to turn down (or up) the volume on certain qualities that are natural in your style, but that may be irritating to people with other styles? 


How about if you could "people-read" and immediately know the style and what motivates others?  THIS is the gift we bring you through all of our sites, tools and programs!

When I meet someone new and I mention specific traits I notice about them in just a few minutes of our meeting, my comments aren’t just about what they are wearing or how they look.  I know which traits they value – in themselves and in others – for example:

• I’d speak directly to someone I recognized as a High “D” (Dominance)  and ask how their characteristics of being “Pioneering” or “Adventurous” or “Leader” showed up for them. And I’d acknowledge that they were probably good at being a “Take Charge” person.
• I’d acknowledge a High “I” (Influence) person by saying, “I’ll bet you are very “Optimistic”, or “Trusting”, or “Friendly” and that I see they value other people very much.
• I’d say to a High “S” (Steadiness) person that I bet they are very “Loyal”, “Thorough”, “Reliable” and tell them I bet they are great at planning ahead and making other people comfortable.
• And if I was with a High “C”, I wouldn’t hug them first and I’d keep a polite distance while acknowledging that they probably were great at analyzing things and getting them “Correct”, for being good at “Complying to Rules set by others”, and setting standards of "Quality" for the rest of their teams.

As you can imagine, especially if I had just met them, they would look at me funny and ask if I had a crystal ball hidden under my clothes somewhere!

Do you want to learn where I look to see that?  If you do want to learn to see what I see - and I'll teach it to you in many different formats – come back here on a regular basis. I promise that once you understand your own style and how you got to have it or chose it, you will find it is easier to enjoy other people just the way they are – or aren’t!

If you want to know more about the gifts that you bring to the world, just by being who you are, then you'll love this BLOG.

Regardless of how you get it, this is learning you will use for the rest of your life! 

My work and sharing about what I’ve learned about people from doing thousands of profiles for over 30 years, is my chance to give back to the world. Having done profiles for all types of people - individuals, couples, family members, and all types of businesses and their executives, managers, and employees, every type of culture, and every age - it has given me insights that most never have the opportunity to get for themselves – seeing people, their profile graphs and hearing the stories they tell about why they do things the way they do and whether it still works for them… or not!  


This has created a montage of images and impressions that now translates into the art and science of “People-Reading” – a valuable skill we can teach you if you will follow the steps we recommend.  You’ll have lots of chances to practice - given that you are always interacting with people - everywhere you go!

So we welcome you now and look forward to seeing you often here. Feel free to comment on things that we say that strike a chord with you or if there are subjects we mention that you want to go deeper into.

Until next time, keep that smile on your face...you are perfect just the way you are!
