DiSC & Love Language

Everyone wants to be loved. It's the basic need to be significant and accepted.
Everyone wants to be loved. It's the basic need to be significant and accepted.

But not everyone speaks the same language.

If you really want to tell a high "S" how much you love and appreciate them, then don't talk about how well they have done in a project. Tell them something nice about themselves as a person - "You are so diligent! I really appreciate how you put so much of yourself into that project." The positive strokes you want to give will go further.

A high "I" doesn't mind what you say so long as you say something nice about them. They would love it if even more if the praise was public and for others to hear. Be effusive if you can.

What about a high "C"? Tell them how good their work is. They are project people. Make sure you substantiate what you say with facts though. No wishy-washy praise for them!

When you want to affirm the high "D", compliment them on their achievements. They are power people who enjoy being reminded of how well they have done.

So this valentine, may you speak and receive the right love language!
