Personal Style

"If there is any secret to success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from their perspective as well as from your own."

- Henry Ford

Personal Style

There can be many reasons -- maybe they haven’t had a bath for several weeks -- but in most cases, there's a more proven, scientific reason: It's called your Personal Style differences.

Personal Style is defined as "your natural predisposition toward time, people, task and situations." In other words, you're born with preferences in each of these areas and they stick with you -- in most cases, unconsciously -- for life.

You probably know an individual who, no matter what, can never be on time. Then there are other individuals who, even if forced to forge ahead in a snowstorm, slog through a flooded river and crawl around fallen buildings from that day's earthquake, would still make their appointments on time.

The research is clear: Personal Style is as real as you reading this line of type, but rarely do individuals come to truly understand their Personal Style so that they can proactively deal with their natural tendencies.

Your natural tendencies affect everything that you do in your life -- your job satisfaction, how you learn in school and at the workplace, your relationships (both at work and at home), the type of free time activities you like to do, and much more.

Imagine knowing what your natural preferences were so that you could avoid pitfalls, make informed, conscious decisions, and create resolution and patience in some areas of your life while creating acceleration and excitement in others.

This Week's Action Step

I'm not sure where I would be today had I not been introduced to Personal Style 13 years ago. First, it made me aware of my tendencies that caused extreme stress at work (You know...the kind who personally doesn't have stress but knows how to create it in others?). It also helped me recognize where I was "showing up" in relationships in my marriage, with my family, friends and peers.

In future issues we’ll be discussing in greater detail how your Personal Style influences your purpose, job performance, satisfaction and morale.

Until then make sure you are Living on Purpose.
