A couple of days ago someone took my personality assessment for Omni-Linguistics, and her scores were almost identical across the board, meaning she was almost 25% of each of the fours styles. She had only one classification that was slightly ahead of the others, and that was the Meteor, the type of personality who typically [...]

Ever walked through a hen house to pick fresh eggs, and run from a rooster? Ever drove down back roads on a fresh country morning and noticed small things you might never have seen in a larger community? Or, ever taste home cooking with vegetables grown from seeds on the property, where you actually know [...]
Teaching a class in southern California this week (only six blocks from Disney World) we spent a lot of time today talking about Omni-Linguistics, or at least the power of appreciating how differently people are wired and communicating with them based on their needs, not our own. But something I thought worth mentioning here was [...]

Whether you’ve read any of my blogs before, or are just reading for the first time, I often speak about the very interesting, often misunderstood type of individual I’ve labeled the Judge.

Have you ever noticed how some people you just like instantly, you cut them slack, feel better in their presence and overall are happier when they’re part of your life. Then there are others who you would gladly walk half a mile to avoid, if only you could.
Human nature being what it is, there are [...]

Finally, we get to the style that needs almost no introduction. After all my blogs on behavioral styles, talking about Judges, Meteors and Rocks…we get to the style that really doesn’t need defining. Everyone can probably tell you most of the characteristics of this last style, the Detailer. We all know someone who must have [...]

Since this is the week of Valentine’s Day I want to talk briefly about connections. Seems to me we often think of connections in romantic terms, but right now, especially when we have to be our most resilient and creative to be successful, it would seem building business connections would be a pretty smart thing [...]
