We all have a natural way of doing things that works best for us. When able to do things ‘our way,’ we achieve better results, reach our goals faster, and minimize our stress and frustration. As a result, we find our relationships more rewarding, productive, and fun - and we get to experience greater and more consistent levels of energy, motivation, confidence, and health and well-being.
The Instinctive Drives® (I.D.) assessment uncovers your natural and best way of doing things, providing insights into the deeper-level needs, drives, and motivations that influence your behaviors.
By giving you targeted, practical strategies, your I.D. result will also provide you with a personal success code that will help you get more of the results you want - personally and professionally.
7 WAYS TO USE INSTINCTIVE DRIVES® TO ACHIEVE GREATER SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT
Discover what you NEED to be at your best.
Your I.D. result will give you a snapshot of you at your best. You will discover the innate needs key to your success and fulfillment and the natural talents that come with being driven in the way your I.D. result reveals.
You will get further insights into your needs and talents when you review your result across the 4 Instinctive Drives - the individual components of your I.D. result. Just a reminder - high and low numbers have equal value!
Uncover what’s behind any stress or frustration!
Your I.D. result reveals the ‘why’ behind the stress and frustration you experience when your needs go unmet. This can happen when others - often with good intentions - place expectations on you as to how you should do things.
Your roles, responsibilities, and environment will also affect the extent to which you feel able to do things in a way that works for you. Over time, this ‘going against the grain’ can have a more significant impact on your relationships and your emotional and physical health.
Identify your ‘Early Warning Signs’ - and take action!
When clear on how you are driven, you can learn to detect the signals that you are being pulled off track and away from your natural best. As a result, you can get into action sooner, using targeted strategies to get your needs met once more.
