Build better relationships, have more fun, make smart decisions and get more done!

No it’s not a magic tonic or a vitamin product or a new car or a personal makeover.  It is a practical yet fascinating relational tool that really can increase your professional career performance and personal life.  The tool is an in depth understanding of the 4 basic personality styles. Each of us has one of four primary personality types.  Our personality type greatly influences the way we communicate outwardly and the way in which we like to have others communicate with us. Do you ever wonder why sometimes you can easily develop a relationship or friendship with someone you have just met?  Similarly have you ever tried in vain to establish even a basic working relationship with someone and despite your best efforts, you experience continual friction or conflict with the individual?  The likely underlying factor inherent in both of these scenarios is personality style.   

For example; each of us probably knows someone who is very detail oriented, organized and precise and who really likes to analyze things and mine through data. They enjoy being right and fear making a wrong decision. Likewise we all know someone who concentrates on getting things done quickly with a minimum of outside interaction and opinions.  These persons want to cut to the chase and get to the bottom line.  They don’t want a lot of talk or info as they are all about getting things done, so they can cross them off their to-do list and move on to the next task.  

Another personality style is represented by persons who are really good at communicating; they like being around people, they are usually the life of the party and they enjoy being in highly visible social and business situations.  The fourth personality style is characterized by those persons who have a very genuine concern for those around them.  They place high value on personal relationships and team memberships.  They have the ability and need to connect with others at a very genuine level and are known for their kindness and patience.

Harnessing the significant power of the personality styles tool requires three progressive steps:

1.   Identifying your primary style

2.   Developing the ability to recognize another’s primary style

3.   Modifying your approach to best suit the other person’s style

Currently, there are many proven systems in the marketplace that use this basic personality style knowledge to predict tendencies, improve performance and increase communication.  I have used many of these commercially available products throughout my career with great success. 

I have designed my own version of this hugely powerful tool and named it the Rock Band Personality Styles System, due in part to my early career as a rock band drummer. I use the Rock Band Personality Styles System extensively for my speaking audiences and my coaching and consulting clients.  My clients love the system as they find it fun, easy to learn and very effective! 

You can get a free download of my Rock Band Personality Styles System from my soon to be published book, Drumming Up Your Career. Visit my web site, click on the “The Book” icon and click the “Click here for an advanced excerpt of the book.”
