    About this ebook

    The STYLE-L.I.S.T. Personal Assessment Tool To Know Yourself And Master Communication

    Named as one of Canada's 20 Most Influential Woman in Sport and Physical Activity, the International Fitness Industry's Woman of the Year and a Top 100 Health Influencer in Canada, Maureen Hagan joins forces with Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas, the Expert with a Proven System to reprogram your brain and get you transformational results. 

    COLLABORATE - INFLUENCE - LEAD - SELL - CONNECT - GET ALONG

    Your personal and professional relationships are directly connected to personality styles. Do you identify yourself as being a certain personality type? Are you convinced that your personality traits are set in stone? Do you sometimes wish you reacted to things or people differently? Why do we get along so well with some people and not others?

    The STYLE-L.I.S.T. personal assessment tool you will discover in this book will allow you to know and understand yourself better, improve yourself, master communication, collaborate, influence, lead, sell, connect, and generally just get along better with the people around you. You may see yourself as always having been a certain way with certain personality traits, but that does not mean you cannot change. This book will help show you how.

    Knowing your own profile and dominating style will help you better understand why you interact with some people easier than with others. Having this insight into your personality profile will also help you tailor your communication style and your behaviour to the people around you. You will be more successful in relating to and adapting to those with whom you interact and work.

    The four STYLE-L.I.S.T. profiles you will discover in this book follow the way your brain is wired. This is what makes the STYLE-L.I.S.T. unique. We explain each profile to you, following a specific pattern that your brain will recognize. Each layer of the brain needs to be addressed in order to reprogram it and to create transformational results. This book will teach you how to use your personality style and that of others in order to become a Relationship Pro.

      Think Yourself a Relationships Pro - Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas

      FOREWORD

      While driving down the infamous Highway 401 on her way to a fitness conference in Toronto, Maureen suddenly lost all power in her year-old Mercedes. While she managed to get herself safely out of the way of four lanes of rush hour traffic, she wasn’t as in control of her emotions when she called the dealership from the side of the highway. This was one of her ‘not-so-magnificent’ moments that she regrets now, but at the time, she was afraid, stressed and in what she thought was a perfectly normal state of being under the circumstances.

      Nathalie had reserved preferred seats with extra legroom for her and her husband for their long flight back from Thailand. This was the second part of their connecting flight—she had worked non-stop on the first flight and was planning to sleep on the second leg as the wakeup call had come way too early, hours before sunrise. She was tired and cranky. As they boarded, she noticed the aircraft had changed, and the seats she had paid extra for did not match the layout in this aircraft. While the initial plane had seven rows with extra legroom, this one only had three. Nathalie and her husband were sitting in row four, in tight seats. A little bummed, they sat in their assigned seat. When the plane was finished boarding, she noticed that two seats in row three were not occupied. She asked the flight attendant if they could move to the preferred seats as they had already paid for it. The attendant said that these seats had to be reserved in advance. Nathalie explained, in a tone becoming a little faster and less considerate, that they had paid for these seats, but the aircraft had changed. The flight attendant responded that in case of aircraft changes, the fees would get reimbursed, that they just had to put in a written claim. Nathalie could not believe it. She totally lost it on the attendant. Thinking back, she was disappointed in herself. If she had approached the attendant differently, she may have been able to stretch her legs further.

      Maureen was sitting on the couch alongside her husband and stunned that he wasn’t understanding her. She thought that after 10 years of marriage he would know that when she is over-worked and tired that all she needed was to be consoled and to feel supported by him, not judged or criticized. While all she really wanted was to be listened to and given a hug, her husband (being the ‘fix-it’ kind of guy he is), attempted to help his wife feel better by offering her a few practical solutions to reduce her stress and workload. In the heat of the moment she now feels her marriage is in trouble.

      Nathalie was ready and prepared. She had just done a three-day sales course and was about to test her new knowledge before her next meeting with her sales staff, as she was planning on teaching them the new skills. The printing business she co-owned was bidding on a very important contract and she was going to present their proposal using her new techniques. She followed every step, responded to every argument, was confident, stood tall, spoke with eloquence, looked professional and knew the job inside and out. She left the meeting with a fist bump, so sure she had the contract. The morning after, she followed up and the client informed her they had given the job to someone else.

      Yes, true stories. We have been there. It happens to us too. We know exactly how you feel. Same here! It is not realistic to think that that we only meet amazing people and get to work with people that are totally awesome all the time! It is not that we are never challenged with relationships, communication or connections. We are all human and in this together. Over the years and through our own personal journey, we have developed some strategies that we use for when those not-so-magnificent experiences happen, and we will teach you the tricks we use when our devils seem to speak louder than we would like them to.

      A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR

      OF THE D.N.A. SYSTEM

      Hi, I’m Nathalie,

      I write books on neuroscience and brain programming. I love that stuff. I am an expert in self-sabotage. I am fascinated by the way we normally know what to do and yet, sometimes do the reverse. Self-sabotage is not restricted to bad habits and things you do that you know you should not be doing. The way we identify ourselves and are convinced that our personality traits are set in stone is a primary cause for self-sabotage. We think we are a certain way and that it is what it is. We are keeping ourselves stuck, thinking we don’t have a choice over our own personality.

      Many people who have read the other books in my No.1 best-selling THINK Yourself® series tell me how much the system I shared in those books has completely changed their lives. Now that they know how to set up their brain to be on board with their goals, they have the foundational layers needed to implement new skills and new personality traits into their lives.

      Used with the full THINK Yourselfâ system in mind, this personal assessment tool to know yourself and master communication will allow you to collaborate, influence, lead, sell, connect and get along with the people around you. Just because you have always been a certain way doesn’t mean you can’t change. If some parts of you bother you, ditch them. We will show you how!

      Enjoy.

      Nathalie

      THE STYLE-L.I.S.T.

      CHAPTER 1

      PERSONALITY STYLES

      KNOW YOUR OWN STYLE FIRST

      The personality style of people is unique to each individual. The definition of personality is often explained as the sum total of all the behavioural characteristics, by means of which an individual is recognized as being unique. In order to understand their uniqueness, we observed their differences. By looking at the ways that people differ, we were able to divide these differences into four major themes, which got broken down into groups, because to understand each of them individually, would be close to impossible. We have identified four groups that characterize a person’s style or personality type.

      We have identified the four styles with the acronym L.I.S.T.

      L—Leader, I—Influencer, S—Supporter, T—Thinker. We will refer to the personality types as STYLE-L.I.S.T. throughout the book. Before we explain each style, let us mention the benefits of knowing your own style and the styles of others.

      The essence of using personality-style types is to help you identify your behavioural style and pinpoint what you might choose to do to become an even more effective and successful person. Before you can create relationships with others, it is imperative to know who you are and what drives you. Knowing your STYLE-L.I.S.T. profile will help your ‘natural’ style and will give you insights about areas where you may want to change, strengthen or adapt based on the interactions you have with others.

      Discovering your Personality STYLE-L.I.S.T. profile will help you know yourself and be more self-aware, aiding you to:

      - Better understand why you interact with some people easier than others

      - Use your style strengths to ask for what you want in an effective way

      - Understand the differences that exist between people and learn how to identify each style quickly

      - Understand how you may be perceived by others

      - Uncover potential areas of interpersonal complements and conflict with others

      KNOW HOW YOU INTERACT WITH

      OTHER PERSONALITY STYLES

      Understanding the similarities and differences that exist between people allows you to build on strengths, yours and theirs. The information you will discover is designed to guide you towards establishing strong and happy long-lasting relationships through excellent communication.

      Knowing yourself and being able to effectively relate to and connect with others sets you up for having great relationships with people. You will commonly hear that it takes two to tango, and just like this passionate dance between two people, where each of the dancers understands their own individual style of dance, they also know how best to connect with their partner, thus being able to bring out the best of both of them in the dance.
