In this episode of Mama Says Namaste, the topic is all about relationships and learning how to deconstruct preconceived notions. Nathan and Ashley take us through a variety of examples, including insights from author Merrick Rosenberg on how to treat others in a way that brings out the best in them. Along the way, we see how pride can sometimes be a hindrance to communication and how recognizing and utilizing our unique strengths can help build strong relationships. Ashley shares personal stories, including her experience balancing traditional gender roles and the importance of being vulnerable in admitting one's mistakes. In short, this episode is all about recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and being open to growth and change in order to cultivate healthy and fulfilling relationships beyond an expectation or traditional role.

There is no denying that understanding various personality types helps reduce and resolve drama in the workplace, and any areas of life for that matter. Understanding how others are wired gives us major clues on how to interact with them and leads to empathy instead of frustration during times of conflict. With there being so many different personality quizzes out there, it can become overwhelming to know which ones to pay attention to, but the DISC framework is very easy to understand, and widely used in the workplace. Today's guest found a way to make these personality types even more interactive by bringing them to life and teaching others how to better communicate and foster an engaging culture. Merrick Rosenberg reinvented how people learn about themselves through the power of personality. He is the CEO of Take Flight Learning and author of five books about the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl styles, which you will learn about today. Merrick has worked with more than half of the Fortune 100 companies in the U.S. and around the world. Under Merrick's leadership as CEO of Take Flight Learning, his company has been selected as the New Jersey Business of the Year by NJ Biz Magazine and has repeatedly been named as one of the Fastest Growing Companies and Best Places to Work in the Philadelphia area by the Philadelphia Business Journal.In this episode, Merrick explains the idea of the “platinum rule”, which is to treat others how they want to be treated, instead of how you want to be treated. This idea is crucial because not everyone engages the same way, and learning to communicate with others based on their personality helps us to better get our message across and reduce conflict. This idea isn't just applicable for leaders, but is also a very important concept for relationships in general whether it's with a partner or our kids. Merrick shares very exciting news about an upcoming project he has been working on, and you don't want to miss this one. Key highlights:How Merrick got into DISC personality traitsThe importance of communicating according to personality typesThe platinum rule: treat people how they want to be treatedWhy Merrick chose DISC personality type framework instead of others out thereMerrick's favorite results that he gets from training companiesHow does implementing the birds get rid of drama?The U.S. Presidents and their styles: which personality types win every election?The recent shift in common personality types of CEOsYour style doesn't determine your success but it does determine how you are going to go about being successfulWe need to understand people and their style instead of trying to change themMistakes Eric made before learning about the importance of personality stylesHow do you get in front of and sell to your ideal client?How Merrick landed a Tedx talkQuote from the episode:“Once we have awareness, we can change what we're doing.” - Merrick RosenbergConnect with Merrick Rosenberg:Website: merrickrosenberg.comTake the assessments: takeflightlearning.comTwitter: @MerrickRInstagram: @merrick_rosenbergFacebook: Merrick RosenbergYouTube: Take Flight LearningConnect with Eric:Be sure to connect with me in the Lead Sell Grow - The Human Experience Mastermind Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadsellgrow/Pick up your copy of B2B Sales Secrets HereLearn more about our services: www.TheGoalGuide.comImprove your sales and stay connected – Free Gifts Here https://shor.by/TheGoalGuide

He's the author of four books about tapping into the power of your personality, including The Chameleon and Personality Wins. Welcome, Merrick. Merrick: Thanks for having me. Marlana: So first of all, tell us what these personality types are. Merrick: Well, there's four core styles, and historically; they've been this alphabet soup of letters. And I wanted to make it easier and simple for people to remember. So I linked the four styles to four birds makes it pretty easy and also very obvious too. If you think about an eagle. Eagles are confident, they're assertive, they're take charge, very direct, they like to be in charge. You've got parrots, parrots are fun. They're social, talkative, outgoing, they bring lots of energy and excitement, doves caring, compassionate, or soft spoken. This is that person in your family. They want everyone to get along. They are harmonious and all like conflict. They're the peacemaker. And then you have the owl who's logical and analytical and detail oriented, if they're going to do something, they have a plan. And they do it right. The first time. They're accurate and very systematic, and they ask lots of questions. So we've got four styles. We're not just one, we're a combination of all four, but they play out in everything we do, from our personal relationships to work wherever we go, Marlana: can we be one, but strive to be another? Or it's pretty much inherent in us, whatever the one is? Merrick: There's often one or two styles that are very strong for us. And, you know, they drive our success, they allow us to be who we are, if you work out of your style, and you want it to be something else, it would be exhausting. If you take something like public speaking, well, parrots tend to like to be in front of a group, they love the energy, they like the fanfare. If you took that parrot and put them out on stage, they're loving it, it feeds their soul. But if you put them in a cubicle eight hours a day, and they have crank data in spreadsheets, and have zero human interaction, they would go home exhausted every day. So if you had a parrot who was trying to be more like an owl, they're just not wired for it, it would drain them, and why not do what feeds you instead of what drains you? So be yourself, trying to be somebody else is just going to exhaust you anyway. Marlana: Which that makes perfect sense. So, tell us, what are the strengths of each one? Like how do we lean into that? Merrick: If you look at the strength of the eagle style,...

Co-Host Merrick Rosenberg (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/flight) My guest, Merrick Rosenberg, is the CEO of Take Flight Learning. He has an interesting take on how our personality traits affect our lives and our relationships with others. For starters, how come we aren't all naturally self-aware enough to know what our inherent strengths and weaknesses are? Discover the insidious ways we become our own worst enemy when we don't have an adequate grasp thereof. What's up with the masculine obsession with proving people wrong when they tell us we can't do something? And worse, why do we tend to be stubborn about doing things our way? What's the difference between determination and stubbornness? Next, we outline the relationship dangers associated with mismanaging one's own personality traits. What is the ironic truth about how our ego tends to actually keep us from maximizing our potential? Are empathy and compassion masculine? Is there such thing as an alpha 'Mr. Nice Guy'? How is it that so many of us end up getting taken advantage of so badly? What are the secrets to knowing how you come off to other people, and how your personality affects others? How do we recognize the expected social response associated with positive personality traits? And importantly...how can we handle people who are struggling with their own negative personality traits? Is being a 'chameleon' personality a good thing? What is indisputably the single worst personality trait anyone can exhibit?

It's no secret that communication is hard. We've all been in a situation where we just can't seem to get our point across. And it's even harder when the person on the other end of the conversation has a different personality type than us. When you're trying to communicate with someone who has a different personality type than you, it can be easy to get wrapped up in your own perspective. It's important to remember that everyone experiences the world differently, and what makes sense to you might not make sense to them. You must try to see things from their point of view and adjust your communication accordingly. But adapting your style isn't easy. In this podcast, we take a look at the common problems with communicating with different personality types. DISC is a personality assessment tool that can help you understand yourself and others better, and Merrick Rosenberg, CEO of Take Flight Learning, has adapted the DISC model into 4 birds: eagles, parrots, doves, and owls. The behaviour of each bird is easy to grasp and remember. Merrick has found the majority of finance people are owls. The owl needs to adapt to work with the other three birds. He shares some great strategies that will really help you understand how to do this, so make sure to check this episode out!

Merrick is award-winning/bestselling author of Taking Flight! and The Chameleon, two books about the power of personality.He has come up with his own system to identify personality types that can help you do better with those around you. So what type of bird are you?There are eagles, parrots, doves and owls.Each bird represents certain characteristics that can help you do better at work, with colleagues, family and friends. With this understanding we know what personality traits to enhance depending on the birds around us and how to ensure we don't demean the personality types of others, but rather lift them up so they can fly. Merrick Rosenberg is the leading personality expert and a keynote speaker. He shares his entertaining and insightful way of learning about ourselves and others with people all over the world. He has certified more than 500 trainers to share his reimagined approach to personality styles that he refers to as Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls. Audience members see themselves in the conversation as they enjoy answering the question, “Which bird are you?”Merrick founded Team Builders Plus in 1991 and Take Flight Learning in 2012. After teaching more than 100,000 people how to use their personality to build relationships and lead happy lives, he identified a pattern that predicts who will win presidential elections based solely on personality. The pattern has been so consistent, it has held strong for 22 consecutive elections going all the way back to 1932.Merrick has worked with more than half of the Fortune 100 companies in the US and around the world.A Few Of The Questions I Ask Merrick Are:- Why is personality so important?- Why Is understanding personality types of those around you so important?- How do we do better with this or use this information to help us in life, love and work?- How can understanding this better help you in your career?- How can you cope with difficult personalities in the workplace?Here are some more links below to help you connect with Merrick. LinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/merrickrosenberg/Facebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/PersonalityWinsTwitter URLhttps://twitter.com/MerrickRYouTube URLhttp://youtube.com/channel/UC87UXAWPJEO0ir_ZOsWd9dgInstagramhttp://Merrick_RosenbergWebsites:  MerrickRosenberg.comTakeFlightLearning.comFor more inspiration check me out at Blossom Your Awesome.

I'm sure all of us at some point have done a deep dive into what our personality type is. Some are deeply committed to their results (hello enneagram friends!) while others can't remember what they are or don't even care.  Despite the myriad of options for determining your ultimate personality, it starts to become an alphabet soup situation. But fortunately, today's guest has a super-simple solution. Instead of complex alpha-numeric combinations, he merely swapped out naming conventions with…… a few fun and engaging birds!

He is the author of four award-winning books about tapping into the power of your personality: The Chameleon, Taking Flight!, Personality Wins, and Which Bird Are You?. In Merrick's first job out of college, he worked as a management consultant. He quickly realized that you can change the process, but nothing great happens in a dysfunctional work environment. So, back to school he went to earn an M.B.A. specializing in Organizational Development. While working on his degree, he discovered team building and he was hooked. The day after he graduated, he started Team Builders Plus, one of the first team building companies in the United States. As he began leading team building events, it became clear that personality conflicts significantly impacted team dynamics. He discovered the DISC styles in 1994 and began leading training programs to help people understand themselves and enable them to create an engaging culture. It was at this point that he began to innovate the personality styles world. By infusing team building activities into DISC training programs, he made the training more interactive and he brought the styles to life. But he felt that this was not enough, and the styles could have an even greater impact…if people could only remember them. In 2012, Merrick reinvented the DISC world by swapping out the classic letters for more visual and memorable birds that symbolized the styles. In his first book, Taking Flight!, he introduced the Eagle, Parrot, Dove and Owl styles and he changed the entire industry. With the vision to reinvent how people learn about themselves, build better relationships, and create positive work environments, Merrick founded Take Flight Learning where he certifies trainers around the world to deliver the content he and his team create. Merrick now spends his time writing, speaking, and advancing the world of increasing self-awareness and improving team dynamics by tapping into the power of the four styles. Merrick has worked with more than half of the Fortune 100 companies and has reached more than 100,000 people around the world through his speaking engagements. He has been named the CEO of the Year for New Jersey, and his company, Take Flight Learning, has been selected as the New Jersey Business of the Year, one of the Best Places to Work, and one of the Fastest Growing Companies in the Philadelphia area. Merrick is a sought-after media guest on television, radio, and podcasts. He has shared his personality wisdom on ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, and Radio Disney. Merrick has been interviewed by: New York Times, Fast Company, Inc. magazine, Fortune, HuffPost, Forbes, Herald Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Parents, and Glamour.

Personality Styles with Merrick Rosenberg Merrick Rosenberg understands Personality Styles. He helps companies with their team building. Your personality defines how you interact with people. And what's more interesting than ourselves? It's all about Birds Get more information about DISC Personality Styles. There are 4 types and each type has its own energy. You'll have one or two as core styles. By understanding this you can build better relationships. Merrick is mainly Parrott and part Eagle. EAGLE - dominant PARROTT - interactive DOVE - supportive OWL - conscientious Global Personality Differences http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Personality-Styles-Global-Differences.mp4 Merrick's use of birds creates a hook for people to recall their training. He explains this by saying "a model is a tool for the mind".  So, why are these systems so complicated? The idea here, is you can figure out another's style, you can flex to them. It helps people understand themselves and get along with others better too. Merrick has taught the Birds Styles to more than 100,000 people! That includes more than 50% of the Fortune 100 companies. His company has 750 trainers around the world. Decide Your Style http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/What-Style-Are-You.mp4 Kevin referred to Strengthsfinder. We did a podcast on this years back - Episode 2 Merrick told us that 86% of the time opposites attract. We complement each other and we bring something else to the mix. Children too... Merrick has noticed a personality styles difference between his 2 children. One is a Parrott and the other an Owl. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Children-Have-Personality-Styles-Too.mp4 Kevin observes this speaks to nature rather than nurture. The Challenge is to understand WHO we are Speaking to ...and communicate in THEIR style. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Merrick-Rosenberg-Communicate-in-their-style.mp4 How does the programme work in corporations? If you were to ask a manager, which creates more stress for you? (A) The lack of skill of your people or (B) The drama created by how they work together? It would be no contest, overwhelmingly drama. That happens because people don't understand each other. If an Owl is asking you loads of questions, it is not because they don't trust you. It's because they care about quality. If you remove the judgement it gets replaced with acceptance. When that happens the drama goes away. The birds become the language of the organisation. Some organisations will have desktop birds sitting on every desk. Graham's desk will have an Eagle. Kevin's desk will have an Owl. If you were at an Eagle's desk do this: - BE BRIEF, BE BRILLIANT, BE GONE! With a Dove, you might start by saying, "Hey, how are you?". You wouldn't jump right to business. It's important to make a personal connection by softening your words. How to Pitch an Audience ...where they are all different personality styles. And they all are usually. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/How-to-Pitch-an-Audience.mp4 Start in your own style. If you hit all 4 styles, who do you connect with? Everyone! It's a holistic way of communicating.

So you've heard of the DISC Personality Theory. Maybe even in the four colors. But how much do you use it? Does it really help you on a daily basis? With your cutworks? Your spouse? CEO Merrick Rosenberg makes it easy. Think of it as four birds. The eagle, the parrot, the dove and the owl. Which one are you? You don't even have to listen to this episode to figure it out. You know what the traits of an eagle is. What is it that you think of when I say dove? Simple right? It's really profound. 'Cuz it's so easy to understand, we don't have to spend so much time on figuring out what each of the birds are and get to have some fun with them. Are there certain birds that are attracted to each other? Can I be more then one bird? How do I get each bird to do what I want? And does each of the birds have a favorite love language?

Doctor patient communication is one of the keys to a successful business, but with so many different people in the world, how does a functional medicine practitioner connect to each unique personality? This week, on the FM Shift, special guest Merrick Rosenberg explains: Doctor Patient Communication How to step into your personality How to quickly identify different personalities Why it's important to interact differently with people Why changing your behavior for each patient leads to success Why Personalities Matter Merrick Rosenberg is a leader on thought personalities, the co-founder of Team Builders Plus, and Take Flight Learning, and the author of The Chameleon and co-author of Taking Flight. With Merrick's personality expertise, he has helped companies like AstraZeneca, the American Heart Association, Aetna, and more build stronger, more understanding teams. Everything Merrick teaches is based on years of observation, research, and implementation. After graduating with an MBA and stepping into the corporate world, he realized that the most successful and well-liked leaders had one thing in common. They adapted their communication style for whomever they were speaking. Once Merrick realized that these communication styles were evolving based on personality types, he knew how powerful teaching others how to communicate effectively would be. He made it his goal to help businesses everywhere better communicate with their teams and their clients. The Four Personalities Doctor patient communication is always essential, but as functional medicine practitioners, we run across all kinds of people every day. Sometimes, it's hard to know how to interact with patients. It's easy to believe that everyone thinks like we do and interact with them as such. But, when we interact with people in our personal style, we can end up alienating some patients, making them feel unheard and even unwelcome, even though it's not our intention. This mistake often happens because of how we communicate. While your communication and personality style may be direct and to the point, your patient may need to feel a deep connection before diving into treatment plans. Or perhaps they need to have their long list of questions answered. That's where understanding the four personalities comes in. What are the four personalities? The Eagle. The Dove. The Parrot. The Owl. Each of the four is unique, easy to remember, and easy to identify once you understand each personality characteristic. Then, once you've mastered understanding each personality type, the way you interact with each will be so much easier! Becoming the Chameleon How to interact with patients is a tricky subject. When there are so many factors to consider, it's difficult to understand why your interaction matters at all, especially if you can help them regardless of your doctor-patient relationship. You may not know that patients typically respond better to doctors they have a good relationship with. Patients who like their doctor are more likely to keep returning and even refer friends or family members. As functional medicine practitioners, this is incredibly important because with most insurance companies not covering our services, we rely on good relationships with our patients to keep us in business. But how do we build the know, like, and trust factor with our patients? We have to become a chameleon. Because each patient is different, we have to meet them where they are. That might mean taking a moment to connect emotionally, or it might mean jumping right into the treatment plan. Regardless of what each patient likes, you're sure to create a lasting relationship by going the extra mile. About Merrick Rosenberg Merrick Rosenberg is an international thought leader on personality styles and team building, author, and keynote speaker. With 30 years of experience helping companies better communicate with their clients and staff, he knows a thing or two about building healthy and lasting relationships. After realizing that successful leaders in the companies he worked with all had one thing in common: excellent interpersonal and communication skills, Merrick set out to help businesses everywhere excel by formulating his easy-to-remember Four Personalities DiSC assessment and team building program.

And teams are dysfunctional, because of personality, that people just don't understand each other, they don't understand themselves. And, you know, the reality is the most self aware people are the happiest, and they tend to achieve their goals in life, they tend to have happy relationships. And that led me to this exploration of understanding personality styles, and there just are so many tools out there.Ari Gronich 1:48  There's all of these different kinds of Tell me how you came out, came about finding this style. OrMerrick Roseberg 1:57  if you go back to the early 1900s, and even 1000s of years ago, in the early 1900s, William Marston had put together what he called the disc model, which was di sc. Now, it was fascinating. It was just rang true. But what's what's really cool about that is is it paralleled what had been around for 1000s of years to Greek culture, the ancient Chinese civilization all over the world, people had four style systems, they call them different things. in corporate America, people tend to know them as the disc model di sc. But I just wanted to make it easier. And I was teaching the letters and I found that people weren't remembering them and, and I wanted to write a book about it. I've kept feeling like, I'm going to constantly have to say, the take charge D, and the energetic, enthusiastic I and like, no one's gonna remember that. And then like I said, I wish it was visual and symbolic. And like in a flash of insight in a moment, like this download the idea of linking it to four birds came to me and then I built a whole business around it, because it's just a matter of teaching people about themselves and the birds made it easy.Ari Gronich 3:04  Alright, so we're gonna play, we're gonna play a little game. You ready? I'm ready. All right. So I haven't I haven't done this before. I do have a little bit of noise.So we're gonna play with some of my toys I haven't played with before. And I'm going to name somebody and you're going to name a personality to go with that.Merrick Roseberg 3:32  Hopefully, I ready?Ari Gronich 3:34  You're reading okay. So we've got Albert Einstein.Merrick Roseberg 3:38  So Einstein much more of an owl very logical, very analytical. He's interesting because he had a little bit of a parasite. He was actually kind of a funny funny guy. But But owl primary style for sure. And everybody's not just one you could be a combination of multiple styles.Ari Gronich 3:52  Absolutely. Elan musk.Merrick Roseberg 3:55  Elon Musk is interesting. He certainly has a lot of Eagle take charge. I want to go where no one has gone before that like James T. Kirk, but he's got a lot of parrot to the I'm gonna send my my car to Mars. I mean, who does that that's a parrot thing to do.Ari Gronich 4:14  All right, Bill Gates,Merrick Roseberg 4:16  Bill Gates, very much of that owl style, very logical, analytical. I mean, if you think Microsoft is the name micro soft of its detail, when he first started the company, he was creating little mini programs. I mean, so well.Ari Gronich 4:32  All right. Gandhi,Merrick Roseberg 4:34  Gandhi very much the dove, that caring soft spoken, compassionate style, but he also had some Eagle which is interesting, because he he was very much the that what I call that activist style that picture the dove, we care about people and that Eagle, I'm going to fight for people's rights but not with aggression, but more with that dove patients but we will win which is the eagle so it's kind of a debate. Eagle combination style, very interesting pattern.Ari Gronich 5:02  Okay. Martin Luther King,Merrick Roseberg 5:06  actually very similar to Gandhi has that Dove Style and the eagle they're very eloquent style because they speak both with compassion and conviction. And so Gandhi, Martin Luther King Obama all shared that style.Ari Gronich 5:22  Okay, Muhammad Ali,Merrick Roseberg 5:24  Muhammad Ali, you know, you think Muhammad Ali a boxer you think Eagle comes up? But no, he actually had a lot of parrot. He was fun. He was funny, but very compassionate. He had a parrot and a dub style, which is very atypical for what we would stereo stereo typically think of a fighter, people. Everybody has stories of just what a nice caring, compassionate guy he was.Ari Gronich 5:46  Interesting. All right. Let's go with Trump. TrumpMerrick Roseberg 5:51  dove right now definitely not a dove. He is he is the eagle. Kind of all Eagle all the time. Direct, assertive bottom line, take charge confident that is the picture of an eagle it would be Donald Trump.Ari Gronich 6:07  Alright, BidenMerrick Roseberg 6:09  are getting heightened by politics. Yeah, much more of a parrot and a dove. He always has that big smile, very empathetic and caring. And look, he's made a lot of gaffes throughout his career. He's always done it, that's a parent thing to do. There's a thin filter between thinking and speaking. And parents sometimes say things out loud, and they're like, Oh, no, did I say that out loud. And then he has to walk it back at the parrot thing to do with ease. But he has a lot of depth to very caring, very compassionate.Unknown Speaker 6:36  Alright, Bernie, Bernie,Merrick Roseberg 6:39  Bernie's got a lot of Eagle. Very just, um, take charge, I'm doing my own thing, I'm gonna be the one independent guy in the whole Senate. I don't even care if you don't agree with me, I'm doing what I want. But he also has a little bit of dove in there. Sometimes he has those moments where he'll you'll see tears forming in his eyes. He's just so passionate about what he cares about.Ari Gronich 7:01  Alright, so now that now that we went through this little exercise, right? personality types for that are that are good for people who are leaders. So let's say you want to be a leader, you want to be a follower, you want to be the guy who gets on board. So let's, let's kind of map the personality types that somebody would need if they're starting a movement?Merrick Roseberg 7:31  Sure, well, here's, here's the first thing to recognize that there is no, this is the style of a leader, if you want to what I was thinking is you're just activating that potential in you, you're getting yourself to that place where you're the highest version of yourself, accomplishing the absolute most you can accomplish in this life. It doesn't matter what your style is, your style does not determine how successful you will be. But your style absolutely determines how you go about being successful.Ari Gronich 8:02  Gotcha. So let's go back to politics a little bit. And it's not going to necessarily apply the way I would think it would apply. But if I was to say, read, write, what personality types might pop up or blue, what personality types might pop up. I believe that it's probably going to be pretty diverse, based on what you just said. So I'm going to ask you that in a little bit different way. What personality types are playing an effect in the noise that's being made currently, because we all hear about the silent majority and the loud minority? So where does that silent majority play in their personality types versus the loud minority? Well,Merrick Roseberg 8:58  look, when you there's no doubt that when you have eagles and parrots, they're much more outgoing and boisterous that they don't tend to be in any kind of silent majority. That's true in a staff meeting. You don't if Eagles if you have someone who's an eagle parrot, and they have a concern, do you think they just sit there quietly and don't say anything? No way. But what happens is I think we're seeing the doves and and owls are much more introverted. They're much more reserved. And they're being more energized now to speak. And then just a word, I think we're starting to hear a larger percentage of the population than we usually have heard before, which is often that kind of parrot Eagle, loud boisterous style. We're hearing more from the owls and the dubs than we've ever heard before.Ari Gronich 9:48  Yeah, I think I think that's a good note, to leave the audience on. And, as always, I asked, you know, for two to three, maybe four tips, tricks, things that somebody can act upon immediately. I think you just gave one I'm gonna have you repeat it. But yeah, just what are some things that people can do to create their new tomorrow today? Well,Merrick Roseberg 10:15  the first piece is going into you got, as I said earlier got to have that level of self awareness recognize your bird style, so you're aren't imposing it on others. I would take a variety of things like amount of information, how much information do you provide the people around you, you provide an owl very different than the amount of information you provide an eagle or a parrot. So start tuning into how much information you're communicating, start tuning into how you're communicating to the people around you. Is it very directly and bluntly like an eagle? Is it softer? Like a dub is more logical? like an owl? Is it energetic, like a parrot? How are you coming across to the people around you? And are you imposing your style on them? So start taking a look at just communication is a great place? How much information you share? How do you share it? And are you treating them how you want to be treated? Or are you treating them how they want to be treated. And if we honor people who are who they are, you create strong relationships, if you honor yourself, and put yourself in a role were in a place where your style strengths can shine, man, you're just going to be able to accomplish anything. But if you are in a in a role, or in a job that you have to constantly do things that are outside of your personality, it's going to be exhausting, you can never be the highest version of yourself when your job exhausts you, every day, find ways to do what is meaningful to you.Ari Gronich 11:42  Awesome. And that's a really good reminder for any HR rep CEO, CFO, who's thinking of treating their employees, like their deficit on the balance sheet instead of an asset is you know, if you want them to be an asset for you, treat them the way they need to be treated for their personality. And you'll get more out of them. And so that is, that's awesome. And I really appreciate you being here and all of this information that you've laid down on, on the crowd. So how can somebody get ahold of you, if they want to get ahold of you,Merrick Roseberg 12:20  you can go to take flight learning.com. And you can discover just the range of training programs that we have there and you can reach out and on Twitter, it's at merrick. and also on LinkedIn, connect with me and I always try to put a little daily dose of bird wisdom so people can keep learning about the styles.Ari Gronich 12:42  Awesome. Awesome. And so I'm imagining that this book take flight is not about being a pilot.Merrick Roseberg 12:51  It is not it both taking flight and the chameleon are taking flight is one long fable that allows you to see the birds in action and then the second half of the book is okay. Now how do you apply it in your life? It's kind of like writing a movie. The next book the chameleon was like writing a series in a season of a sitcom has 22 fables like each one's a different episode? Sometimes eagles and parrots sometimes doves analysis, sometimes all four with the all knowing chameleon that teaches you about yourself. And each each one of those fables has a different lesson of how to apply the styles in your life. And so they're fun. You'll see yourself in the stories are these good? Yeah, they're really for adults. But I've had many people say to me that they've sat and they read them with their children. I've had many people say they get the audio book and they just they drive and listen to a fable and then turn it off and then have a whole conversation with the family about how that is playing out within that that family itself so kids will getAri Gronich 13:51  it. Yeah, awesome. So we'll we'll see about being able to get a link or something for an ebook or audio book or whatever we can do for the audience so that they can check you out, check out your book, and, and hopefully, learn a little bit about personalities, help themselves move into a new tomorrow and activate their vision for a better world.
