6 Questions To Describe YOUR Style

- These describe our common triggers
- They uncover possible issues in relationships and bring awareness of potential cognitive dissonances
- How can people best communicate with you?
- These reflect how we give and receive feedback
- These speak to our learning modality (listener, reader, writer, kinesthetic); how you interact with the world
- How can people help you best?
- These are what we ask for help with most
- These help support the notion that we can't go it alone, we need others & their gifts/talents/skills
- These also help us develop gratitude for ourselves and others
- What do people misunderstand about you?
- These are our behaviors that come out under pressure
- These reveal our reactions to people/situations and reflect our automatic selves
- What's your style?
