How to Connect with People

In this video learn how to connect with other people by exploring the basics of personality styles/preferences according to the Colors Summary, #DiSC /CPP through a simple self-assessment - click the link in the video description and scroll up or link here: https://lnkd.in/g9r7DRN

My Takeaways:
1. Awareness of my personality preferences helps me know myself more deeply, and thus I am able to thoughtfully respond rather than blindly react to others and situations.

2. Now that I can recognize personality behaviors, I can better meet other people where they are and tailor my attitudes and responses to support clear communication.
