===========================================
Have you ever taken a personality assessment like the DISC, Myers-Briggs, Enneagram or VIA Character strengths and felt like it wasn't helpful or like shouting “I want my money back!”?
I have. When I first took the Myers-Briggs assessment i was given my results and then given a list of careers I should consider based on my results. That was it. No debrief. No follow up.
Or maybe you've been in a big group workshop where everyone takes an assessment, you all get your results, and then do exercises as groups based on your results. Perhaps all the while worried that you and your boss aren't in the same group. Or maybe people keep cracking jokes about one particular type and the facilitator doesn't do anything about it.
These kinds of experiences with assessments are far too common and so frustrating to hear about as coaches, because we know there is a better way.
Assessments can be powerful tools to create life and work fulfilment. Which is exactly what my guest in this episode, Darci Daniels, does for people.
“Some people love to work and they love their lives. When you have life fulfilment and you are happy with both, you will find a natural balance - [that’s] work-life fulfilment.”~ Darci Daniels.
Darci has been a certified business and life coach since 2014. She worked in the financial and mortgage industry for over 20 years, including 11 years as a loan officer and three years as a corporate coach.
Darci and I geeked out over the power of self-knowledge and self-acceptance, and how we can use personality/strengths assessment to our best advantage.
Speaking of self-knowledge and self-acceptance, here’s my question for you this Week: What is ONE thing you could do to get to know yourself better this week?
Be sure to let me know over on Instagram.
PS: Whether you already know your Enneagram Type and/or VIA profile, or not, I recommend reaching out to Darci to help you bring the power of these two approaches together into a practical plan to help you move forward.
