Personality Inc.™
Personalities are complex. Imagine a complicated highway where 3 or 4 major interchanges intersect. What would it be like without signs and directions? Would you know where to go? When personalities merge, that’s exactly what we experience. People frequently struggle with understanding others’ behaviors, choices, motivators, and personal interactions. In managing relationships, we frequently interact with others as we would like to be interacted with ourselves.
We can measure and better understand personalities through assessments. DISC is one of the leading assessments to measure behaviors. Personalities go much deeper than just DISC or behaviors and are made up of behaviors, motivators that drive our behaviors, emotional intelligence, stress factors, leadership approaches and many other factors that all interrelate. Personality Inc. shows attendees how to best interact with everyone in their lives how the other person wants to be interacted with.

Dr. Abelson’s leadership theory combines a number of the most effective, yet easy to implement, leadership approaches ever developed. He provides 10 winning techniques to be a very effective participatory leader.
