Is Your Message Getting Through? Are your communication skills achieving the results you want? To be an effective communicator in your professional and personal life, you must speak to people's needs and present your message in a way they find attractive. Face-to-face is the best way, but often you must communicate by writing, emailing, or the telephone. With more "virtual" business relationships becoming the norm, the necessity to get your message across the first time has never been greater. Your proficiency in the art of communication will determine whether your words are well received, deleted, or simply ignored. Many people today are unaware of a valuable set of skills that can make their communication effective and effortless. What is this advantage? Understanding Personal Style. When you are familiar with an individual's Personal Style tendencies, you can intentionally modify the way you present your message to suit that person's needs—and achieve the results you want. Think about a specific client or business relationship.
With that insight, you can communicate more successfully with that individual to capture his or her interest. The Four Dimensions of Personal Style Through extensive research and development, CRG has identified four main styles that help describe human behavior.
Once you understand Personal Style and the characteristics typical of each dimension, you can recognize the style patterns of your clients and other important people in your life. Style-Shift You will find some people naturally like your regular communication style. Others may find it overbearing, long-winded, or unfocused. To ensure your message is not lost or misinterpreted, you can practise the versatile skill of style-shifting. That's not to say we should stop being ourselves. We can learn to be ourselves in ways that suit the styles of the people with whom we are interacting. Learn Your Client's Style The best way to discover an individual's Personal Style is to have the person take the Personal Style Indicator, then have him or her share the results with you. In turn, you can share the results of your PSI. This sharing of style patterns is a powerful communications tool to assist in developing strong relationships built on honesty and trust. Activate Personal Style Knowledge—Today To set you on the path to understanding Personal Style, here are some main characteristics of each style and the preferred methods of communicating. Once you start to adapt or shift your style to match your clients, you will notice the difference!
The Positive Possibilities are Endless . . . Personal Style knowledge can be applied to everyday situations, job tasks, and social environments. As you increase your awareness of yourself and others, you are developing the ability to be more focused, intentional, and conscious of your interactions—to create unlimited possibilities and benefits.
