Everyone has experienced the frustration of not being able to communicate with another person... of not understanding what makes them “tick” or of not being able to figure out why they do what do. Haven’t you? The good news is that human beings are not all the same. The bad news is that human beings are not all the same! Whether this fact is an asset or a problem to you depends on how ‘people’ or ‘DISC’-literate’ you are! Have you ever noticed that not only do you not relate positively with everyone, but the same approach you use with one person may be totally ineffective with another?

'PeopleSmart' people know who they are and are able to "read" the clues in other people's behaviors that suggest that person's likely motivated-needs and personal strengths.
