Coaching the Influence (type “I”) Personality Type

Hey, welcome back everybody. I hope your week is going well, and I've found you in a very good place. This month’s theme is about coaching your staff according to their style, and today, we're going to do a deep dive into the “I” type or the Influence personality type. So, just a quick recap, if you haven't been with us the last couple of weeks, there are four major personality types, and I like to identify them all with a sound bite and an avatar because I think it makes it easier to remember. The avatar of this personality type Richard Branson, life is a party. How do we know the “I” style? Well, all of us disc facilitators make this joke that the “I” is lowercase “i” in the acronym DiSC because we need to tone these people down a little bit. They are very enthusiastic, outgoing, optimistic, high-spirited, and lively. So sometimes if you're a reserved person and you're around one of these colleagues, or if this is one of your children, you're kind of like not my thing. You might feel like they're unprofessional, or they can't possibly be getting work done because they are having fun, but they really are.

Every team needs an “i”  in their organization. They need someone who is enthusiastic about supporting one another. They are very socially oriented and that's the glue that keeps people together.

Don't Forget: Invite your friends.

And that's it for this week. I hope these tips are helpful to you.
