Understanding yourself through personality profiling with Vicky O'Farrell
Are you outgoing or reserved? People or task focused? Are you an influencer, a supporter, decisive or cautious? Although your answers may change from situation to situation, we all have a set of general tendencies that we otherwise know as our ‘personality’. Personality profiling is the topic of today’s podcast, and I’m joined by award winning DISC coach Vicky O’Farrell. Vicky recently did my own DISC profile and we spent some time together going through the results, and I figured it’d make for an interesting discussion, especially if you’ve never done any profiling before and are wondering what it’s all about. We talk about the benefits of understanding yourself and others better, what this can mean for relationships, emotional intelligence and team work. I ask Vicky about how to use something like DISC without feeling like you’re putting yourself and other people in a box, and the all important question given the time of year we recorded this; is leaving your Christmas shopping to the last minute despite every year swearing you’re going to have it all done by the end of November, fundamentally linked to your personality or is it something we can change?
