Compliments International is so excited to launch a new website for the number 1 communications course in the world, Social Styles! www.socialstyles.com
The #1 Communications Tool goes Mobile March 1st
The original SOCIAL STYLE profile has been in use for over 45 years and is the NUMBER1 tool in the world for understanding human behavior. Training courses that incorporate the profile cover a large variety of areas including: interpersonal skills, leadership, management development / supervisory development, sales management, sales skills, team development / team building, communication skills, parenting and family marriage relationships.
So what are SOCIAL STYLE? From the original research conducted in the 1960’s and thousands of hours of refinement and research over the last 45+ years scientists have found that people could be described by a combination of three scales. First, Assertiveness which is the effort a person makes to influence the thinking and actions of others (Does a person Ask or Tell in interactions). Second, Responsiveness which is the extent to which a person reacts readily to influence or stimulation with a display of feelings (Does a person Control or Display emotions). Third, Versatility which is a type of social endorsement based, in part, on the extent to which others see the individual as competent, adaptable and behaving appropriately.
Assertiveness and Responsiveness combine to describe the four behavioral styles (Driving, Expressive, Amiable and Analytical) of an individual or how someone is wired. Versatility is a measure of the extent to which a person appears to be working to make relationships mutually productive or how they adapt to other peoples SOCIAL STYLE.
Of the three components, Responsiveness, Assertiveness and Versatility – Versatility is the most unfixed and changeable. Whereas Assertiveness and Responsiveness tend to be more consistent aspects of style, Versatility can change across time and circumstances. Of the three components, Versatility is the most amenable to training and development, and the one that is most important for earning the endorsement of coworkers, family members and others.
Because Versatility is such an important and trainable concept it is at the foundation of the SOCIAL STYLE training and programs. Whether you are interacting with a child, parent, significant other, boss, client, peer, subordinate or any other individual the most successful people in life are those that can recognize and adapt communications to other peoples SOCIAL STYLE. THAT is what SOCIAL STYLE is all about, giving individuals the ability and power to tailor communications to maximize productivity and fulfillment in business and in life.
So how does SOCIAL STYLE compare to other popular behavioral assessments and communication tools. A Colardo State University research study in conjuction with Regis Learning Solutions found people retained 34% more information than Myers Briggs and 18% more than DiSC. Another benefit was SOCIAL STYLE participants we almost 4 times more likely to recognize others social style than Myers Briggs and 1.5 times greater than Disc.
Think of Twitter as a ticker tape of headlines. One of the positive and negative features of twitter is you only get 140 characters to “tweet” what you want to say so most people are making short comments or writing a headline with a link to the full article/additional information.
So as a business owner or individual, what do you do with Twitter (how do you use Twitter). The short answer is you get lots of information about something you are interested in. As an individual, to use twitter, you can follow the latest information about a favorite sports team, cooking or politics. TIME has a great article on how the opposition used twitter during the election protests in Iran. As a business owner you use twitter to become a subject matter expert in your field. The impact of building credibility can be enormous is you use twitter correctly. It give you the ability to be at the cutting edge of your industry and as you start to read and follow you will begin to form your own opinions and start you own tweets.
Where to start:
The next step will take a little more time and work. You now need to start finding and following people that are “tweeting” about your subject of interest. There are three ways to start this process. First you can go through a list of top tweeters. www.twitterholic.com is a great resource for this. The second is to go to the Find People link at the top of your home page. There are several features but the easiest if you already have a Gmail, Yahoo or AOL email account is the “Find Friends” tab, it will go through your account and recognize twitter people you know. The third option is to start searching for your key term and see who is tweeting. When you find someone you think is good click on their icon and when the page opens up their will be a “follow” button. NOTE: before you decide to follow them, look at their following, follower and tweet numbers. You want to follow people that are active and have a lot of followers and follow a lot of people.
Tips and Tricks on how to use twitter.
Mobility – Most major brands of phones (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Palm) have twitter apps that allow you to tweet and follow twitter from your phone if you are not at a computer very often.
URL Shortening – Because you only have a 140 characters, if you are going to include a link to a site or an article you need to keep it short. The best way to do this is by using a link shortening service. The most common one seems to be http://bit.ly/ . It is extremely easy to use. Paste your URL in and it will give you a shortened URL you can use as an alternative.
The Hashtag – people on twitter use the “#” symbol at the front of a subject phrase so others can easily find that information in a search. Example- #seo would be used to search information and tweets about search engine optimization.
The At sign – people use the “@” at the front of twitter user names to denote that user when they tweet about a person. Example – @darrensquires would be used if someone was tweeting about Darren Squires or if someone wanted to search for tweets that referenced Darren Squires.
Retweet – If one of the people you are following posts a interesting article you can distribute it to everyone following you by simply selecting the retweet button.
Favorites – You have the option to mark favorite tweets by clicking on the Star icon to the right of a tweet
Reply – Referred to as @reply in twitter. You can reply to a tweet by clicking on the reply to the right of a tweet. An alternate method is in your updates window at the top you can type @username followed by a message and twitter will recognizes this as a message to that user. NOTE: it will be a public message. See Direct Message for private conversations.
Direct Messages – You can only send direct messages to people that are following you. Twitter does this to keep spamming down. In order to send a direct message you can find the individual click on their image which will bring you to their page, then on the right hand side will be a link to message them. Alternately you can click on the direct message link on your side bar and the direct message page will open with a drop down of your followers.
Do not be afraid to Tweet !!!
This is not meant to be all encompassing, but as a getting started. If you see anything that needs correcting or important information or tricks that were left out on how to use twitter, please leave a comment or shoot me an email.
