In the last episode of 2021 and our personality series, Kimberly talks with Dr. Joe Beam about the DiSC profile. Dr. Beam explains each quadrant of DiSC and how you can use your profile to understand others better and have better relationships. You will learn the importance of understanding your spouse's DiSC personality so you can speak their language and vice versa. When you know about your spouse and know how they are wired, it helps make the marriage or relationship stronger. Dr. Beam says it doesn't mean you give up who you are. It just means if you want success in a relationship, whether it's romantic, parental work, anything, you learn how to speak people's language.

This week we are back with another exciting episode about personality styles. Today, Kimberly talks with Austin Suellentrop, CliftonStrengths Portfolio Manager for Gallup. (Also known as StrengthsFinder) You will learn why people learn differently and how to have conversations about each other's strengths to create better relationships. You'll also gain insight into when people know their strengths; it helps them identify their values. After you hear this episode, you will want to find out where you land with the StrengthsFinder assessment and share this episode with your friends and your spouse.

We are all wired a bit differently, and this week we are continuing our series of personality test types. Last week Kimberly covered the Enneagram with Michael Norton, and today, she speaks with Dr. Tim Atkinson, a Myers-Briggs expert. Personality tests are ways to understand yourself and others better. Dr. Tim Atkinson covers Myers-Briggs and the dichotomy of the four letters. Dr. Tim describes the personality test as a great conversation starter that provides a window into who and how each person operates. The Myers-Briggs assessment allows people to explore further their personalities, including their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences, and compatibility with other people.
