 Dear :
"Who Cares?" I hope that the title of this month's newsletter got your attention - and now that you're here, I'd like for you to stay for a few minutes and scan through this newsletter.
I believe that life is too short to invest yourself in a job that doesn't fulfill you. I have worked with enough people to know that it's possible to find work you love, but to do so, you need to know yourself...
You'll love your job when you find a job that fits your behavior style. I'm a huge believer in the DiSC behavior style survey. It's a simple process that helps you learn more about yourself and how you work with others.
I'm going to do something I NEVER do, and that's to offer a FREE behavior assessment. Click HERE to request the assessment, and when you return it to me, I'll send you more information about your behavior style. You must send your request in by Friday, September 4, 2009.
This newsletter will have some ideas for you to change your response to your job (or work environment), learn to find things to like about your job, or elevate your performance in a job you love.
Warm Regards,
Sarah Zink

You're the Particular Type
Your Motto: Its all in the details
The Challenge: You have a basic need for quality and value. This can be a plus or minus: it can translate into being dedicated to doing thing well, or can cause someone to be obsessively particular.
What do You Want? You want to have clearly defined tasks and time to focus on the details. You like to process information and not have to make decisions "on the fly"
Things to Learn: You tend to be a "glass half empty" person, so you need to learn that controlled optimism isn't a bad thing. You can suffer from "analysis paralysis", so you need to learn that it is possible to over-analyze a problem or solution. You need to speak up at meetings and share your knowledge.
Job Direction - This style does well is precision-based jobs, such as accounting, quality control, maintenance, engineering, banking, etc.

Your Motto: Just Do it!
The Challenge: You have a basic need to challenge the status quo, and to control your environment. This can be a plus or minus: you can be a very good leader, or you can become bossy and abrasive.
What do You Want? You like to be free of supervision, you loathe repetitive activities, you are energized by difficult assignments, and you push back when given ultimatums.
Things to Learn: Control your need to boss people around. Learn to give directions as suggestions, rather than in a dictatorial style. Use your ability to solve problems quickly to your advantage by translating your solution to paper in the form of a strategic plan. Give up some control of your ideas and let others use your ideas a starting point, rather than insisting they take the idea as an "all or nothing" solution.
Job Direction - Because you thrive in lower-supervision environments, you need a job where you can work more autonomously. You need to be able to solve problems, direct solutions, and coordinate tasks and projects

You're the Imaginative Type
Your Motto: It's not what you know, it's who you know.
The Challenge: You have a basic need for recognition and approval. This can be a plus or minus: it is a strength if you can channel your needs into working in a team environment, and it's a weakness if you are so focused on approval, you fail to focus on the task.
What do You Want? You want recognition from your peers for your creative ideas, you want freedom from having to focus on details, and you want a chance to be able to talk and share your ideas.
Things to Learn: You need to learn that your time must be managed and deadlines are important. You tend to be a "glass half full" person, and your optimism can blind you to the facts. Be careful to not let your sociability become a liability.
Job Direction - This person does well in jobs that require a quick-thinking, fast-moving, "people person".

You're the Steady Type
Your Motto: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The Challenge: You have a basic need to feel supported and to have stability.
What do You Want? You want to be specialized in your field, you want to have security and consistency in your environment. The plus is that you are an excellent planner of process and procedure, but you can become too wrapped up in them to see other (i.e., "better") ways to do things.
Things to Learn: Change isn't always bad, and sometimes you have to be bold, speak up, and take risks to get ahead.
Job Direction - You do well in a job that is steady, with little or no regular changes in environment or processes. You handle larger tasks well, rather than a series of smaller tasks.
