Folks, if you're struggling with a relationship with your team or your boss or your peers, or maybe

you're not struggling, but you just want to get better in terms of relationships and you

understand DISC, we highly recommend you consider our effective relationships series of podcasts.

You can buy a series telling you that if you're a D, how to relate to your directs, each of whom

D, I, S, and C, or if you're're a D related to your boss who might be a D I S and C. It will tell you in every

podcast some of them as much as two hours long. How to handle meetings, how to handle delegations,

how to handle feedback and coaching,

how to brief your boss,

how to disagree with your boss,

how to communicate in general with your boss, what your boss wants from you and what you might want from your directs as well.

Many of the show notes are 20 and 25 pages long to give you many, many examples and many, many details of behaviors you can engage

in to, again, as we like to say, reduce the drama, reduce the tension, reduce the conflict,

and increase the harmony and collaboration, which leads to better outcomes, because it's all about results, and people are what's important.

listens there's no exchange no debate anything like that and this cast is

about how to make them conversational.

Yeah, when I think back to the best one-on-ones I've had with my directs or the best one-on-ones that you and I've had from my perspective as your direct that's what it was it was

was conversation it wasn't one-sided it was back and forth and we get this question a lot
