peacock person
attended a "Handling Difficult People" session yesterday... either my bosses think i have quite a few demons to handle @ work, or that i myself am difficult *ponder*
anyway, the whole gist of the course is actually abt the different personalities of ppl, and the different ways of communicating with the various personality traits, just so that we can be more effiective relationships.
The Briggs-Myers personality traits are simple broken down to 4 types of birds: Hawk, Peacock, Owl & Dove. I fall, weirdly, under the Peacock - Dove characteristic.
I possess peacock-like traits of being loud and getting things going though @ the same time, i can be a listener and attentive. I can get my ideas across, and speak in meetings, but only when addressed. I am a risk taker and creative, loving loud colours and the first to embark on new projects, but ironically enough, i do not have to be leader all the time. Bearing slight hawk-like character of liking structure and rules (i love some form of guidelines!), i can also be rebellious. oh gosh! i have multiple personalities!!
you shld google these and see how and what to do/say when you have friends and families of a different trait. I am sure it will help us enhance our personal & work relationships. Good luck!
*below is a an excellent clip of the 2 greats in music - Bryan Adams and the late- Pavarotti. Harmonious in music, despite being 2 clear opposites. We all gotta be in sync! Enjoy!
