Personal Awareness and Practical Uses

In addition to understanding your personal style, your Self Report identifies ways you can apply your personal strengths and how to adjust your style to meet the needs of a specific person or environment. Social scientists refer to this adaptability as social intelligence. Much has been written on how social intelligence is as important for effectiveness as is Intelligence Quotient (IQ).

Professional and Personal Development

Communicative and Behavioural Strengths Career Management Report

Determine career direction by matching your occupational behavioural style with appropriate job functions and titles.

One of the Most Life-affecting Choices is Your Career Choice

The average person who works full time for 35 years, averaging 40 hours per week for 50 weeks a year, will spend 70,000 hours of his/her life at work! The Career Management Report will assist you in finding your career direction by helping you begin in defining a critical element for your success: Your Occupational / Behavioural Style. Research suggests that different behavioural styles excel and are attracted to different occupations.

Targeted Uniqueness

Research suggests that 50-80 percent of all employed adults are in the wrong job or career. The Career Management Report helps you make career decisions and plan your changes by clarifying the job expectations, identifying the reasons for any inner conflict, revealing stressors experienced in your past or present jobs and in analysing your perception of your ‘ideal job.’ In addition, it provides a list of occupations and related O*NET Job Codes that require the behaviours that most closely match your natural style.

Recognise that our behaviours define how we interact with others in our environment as we approach the problems, personal interactions, activity level, and structure of our daily lives at work, home and play.

Personal Characteristics and Strengths

Based on your responses, the Career Management Report will provide an understanding of your work style and identify the basic natural behaviours that you bring to the job. The report will also identify your special talents and value to the organisation.

Research has identified 322 jobs that are held by 95% of the workforce. Of these 322, 71 require only a high school education; and 251 require two or more years of higher education.

Basic Needs and Wants

The needs and wants section of the Career Management Report will indicate what behavioural needs must be met for performance at an optimum level. You will learn more about your strengths and weaknesses. By understanding those weaknesses that may be hindering performance, you can develop an action plan to manage, mitigate or reduce them.

Ideal Work Environment Perceptions

This section of the Career Management Report compares your perception of your ideal environment with the environment best suited for your inherent traits. By identifying your ideal work environment, your report will identify specific duties and responsibilities that you enjoy and will also make you aware of those that create frustration. It will list how the job requires you to respond to problems and challenges, influence others, deal with activity levels, respond to rules set by others and accommodate quality expectations.

Communicative and Behavioural Strengths Sales Report

Understanding styles has an impact on the impression you make in the first few minutes.

Targeting Sales People

The Sales Report is geared towards the sales professional. It provides information on an individual’s style of selling, which is valuable information for selling success. It also gives a résumé writer and career coach accurate information for showcasing in CVs and cover letters, as well as with career coaching.

Mastering sales adaptability strategies may be some of the most important selling skills you can learn.

Defining Unique Selling Styles

In today’s competitive marketplace, success in selling is more challenging and requires a higher level of skill. The Sales Report gives you, the professional salesperson, a broad understanding of your natural sales style, which can be shared with hiring authorities or a new employer. The process analyses and details the type of product you prefer to sell, how you handle sales presentations, as well as how you close and service your accounts. Because all people are unique, no two reports are alike, and yours will give you a winning edge for your marketing materials and interviewing strategy.

Giving Customers What They Want

Customers want caring service along with top quality products. They want compatible, honest relationships with their sales professionals, and they want custom-made solutions to their short- and long-term problems. Your Sales Report offers insight on how to adapt a specific sales style to give customers what they want. Demonstrate you have this knowledge and you will have an advantage with a prospective employer or when pursuing a promotion.

Establishing the best-selling interactions comes from treating others the way they want to be treated.

Your Report is 40+ Pages of Information and Education:

  • General characteristics

  • Your strengths and motivators

  • Your ideal work environment

  • Your behaviour and needs under stress

  • Communication tips and areas for improvement

  • Your Adapted and Natural Style

  • The 12 integrated styles relationships

  • Identify another person’s behavioural style

  • Develop leaders

  • Organisation hiring

Understanding Customers’ Perceptions

Overextended strengths may be perceived as weaknesses. Your report identifies these perceptions and provides information on how, under certain conditions (tension, stress or fatigue), customers may see this behaviour as negative. This knowledge will help you create an image that is positive and supportive in any business situation.

Identifying Interpersonal Skills

Communication Styles and Behavioural Strengths are interpersonal skills. While certain hard skills are necessary for any position, employers look for particular soft skills. While an employer is likely able to train an employee in a particular hard skill (such as how to use a certain computer program), it is not as likely to train an employee in a soft skill. Your Sales Report identifies your interpersonal skills and provides help in applying your strengths in building trust, finding common ground, having empathy, and ultimately building good relationships.

People may not remember everything you say but they are unlikely to forget how you made them feel.

Overcome the ‘Sales Slump’

Ninety percent of all sales professionals who experience a sales slump have merely lost sight of the behaviour it takes to be successful. Your Sales Report can help turn a slump into success by helping you realise how to respond to specific behavioural styles.

Results and Benefits

With your comprehensive Sales Report, you have a tool to help you develop strategies to meet the motivational needs of others yielding immediate results and valuable benefits in several areas:

Communication and Behavioural Strengths and Leadership Report

People are hired based on excellent job skills and fired based on poor interpersonal skills.

Superior Leadership and Performance

Interacting effectively with people can make the difference between success and failure in both work and personal lives. Effective interpersonal interaction starts with an accurate perception of oneself. The Communication and Behavioural Strengths and Leadership Report gives executives, managers and leaders a greater knowledge of themselves and others, leading to superior performance.

Mastering the leadership adaptability strategies within this report may be some of the most important leadership skills you can learn.

Leadership Interactions Success

As a leader, has your management process succeeded with one employee, then hopelessly failed with the very next? Has your leadership style had a positive impact with some and yet created negative reactions from others? Have you wondered what caused those different reactions and responses, especially when you try your best to treat everyone in the same way? In fact, you always try to treat everyone just like you want to be treated. Many leaders, managers, and executives have these experiences and often believe, ‘That’s just the way it is’. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Leadership interactions can be successful if you know how to make success happen!

Effective Leadership Communication

Of particular interest to leaders is how the leadership report clarifies the interpersonal communication preference concept. Knowing this, the leader can easily learn to communicate with others in the way they prefer! Leaders will become more aware of how their natural and adapted behavioural styles are influencing other people’s reactions to them and either enhancing or inhibiting their success and the success of others.

Increased Value to the Organisation

Faced with an ever-changing landscape of challenges and opportunities, self-knowledge assists leaders in achieving success for their organisations. Leaders can develop action plans to build on their strengths and overcome factors currently limiting their success.

Achievement of Peak Performance

People are most productive in environments that compliment and reward their own natural behaviors. However, natural behaviors may not produce desired results, especially when interacting with people who exhibit opposite behaviors. The leadership report will bring to light opportunities for improvements in communication, driven by the work environment and coworkers’ needs. By understanding the most effective adjustments to make to achieve success, leaders learn to effectively adjust behavior as needed, competently and productively.

Results and Benefits

With your personalised and comprehensive Leadership report, you have a tool to help you develop strategies to meet the motivational needs of others and become more effective in getting positive results. Your ability to recognise the ‘style mode’ being displayed by another person and making small adaptations in the pace and focus of the interaction is the quickest and surest path to leadership mastery.

Establishing the best interactions comes from learning how to treat others the way they want to be treated.

Your leadership report applies specifically to the successful performance of a CEO, business owner, manager and/or executive decision-maker and can yield important results and valuable benefits in several areas of professional development:

  • Helps you understand how you approach problems and challenges

  • Targets characteristics that move you from being just a manager to being a respected leader

  • Strategies for open, direct, and effective communications for your organisation’s needs

  • Helps you prepare for job interviews

  • Provides your CV writer and career coach with knowledge about the interpersonal skills you bring to your work environment
