A DISC profile can be used to improve communication skills with amazing results. By categorizing people in four behavioral dimensions, a DISC profile helps in applying the most appropriate method to align communication styles.
The importance of communication skills has been emphasized in the biannual survey of the Association of Graduate Recruiters. The report says that job seeking candidates are mostly lacking in soft skills such as verbal ability and communication skills. These problems can be resolved with the help of a DISC profile.
Tips on Improving Communication Skills with a DISC Profile
By categorizing people in four behavioral dimensions including Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance, a DISC profile offers the solutions to communication problems:
• High D’s: They are talkative, bossy and authoritative. They usually speak very fast. They can learn listening skills and ask more questions.
• High I’s: They use stories and anecdotes in their speeches and sometimes exaggerate. They can improve by controlling time in their speech.
• High S’s: They listen more and do little talking. They are patient, tolerant and are normally embarrassed by recognition. They can improve their communication skills by learning to adjust with self-affirmation.
• High C’s: They have slow speech and do not react much during communication. They are precise while talking. By learning to accept other’s ideas and participating in groups they can improve their communication.
