DISC Enhancing Communication

The Primary “I” Loves it when you:

• Give them opportunities to talk about their ideas, other people, and their emotions
• Assist them in developing ways to transfer talk into action
• Share your ideas and experiences with them
• Recognize them for their accomplishments
• Give them the opportunity to motivate & influence
• Show them that you accept them
• Explain the details but don’t dwell on them
• Communicate with them in a friendly & light manner

But has difficulty understanding when you:

• Do all the talking
• Eliminate their social time
• Ignore their ideas and accomplishments
• Tell them what to do without asking their input
• Give them the “detail” work
