Comment identifier le style de communication d’un individu à l’aide d’outils d’évaluation de coaching personnel ?

I would like to refer to the Mettl Personality Map as it assesses employee personality traits such as communication style and other important aspects how people interact with others.

Communication styles play a pivotal role due to their direct influence on the quality of the relationship and the effectiveness of the learning process. Each individual possesses a unique way of receiving and processing information, be it through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or other means. By understanding and adapting to these diverse communication styles, mentors and coaches can bridge potential gaps in comprehension and engagement. A mentor or coach who recognizes and tailors their communication approach to match the mentee’s preferred style can create a more conducive learning environment. This adaptation not only fosters better understanding but also cultivates a stronger sense of connection and trust between the two parties.

In my experience working directly with clients and hundreds of advisors, implementing a communication style assessment as part of the process can be off putting to the client. Shifting to an assessment is awkward. Instead, use what you have learned from your own communication style assessment. Having been through DISC in different organizations, certified in TRACOM Social Styles and Myers-Briggs I can tell you the tools are very good. More importantly you can ask a few questions to hone in on your clients communication style as part of an exploratory conversation. Yes, some styles will prefer the more formal approach. If that is the case then break out the assessment. Otherwise stay conversational.

Assessing a client's communication style involves a multifaceted approach that encompasses various observation techniques and specific assessment tools. Through astute observation during conversations, mentors and coaches can note the client's choice of words, tone, and non-verbal cues, providing initial insights into their communication preferences. Additionally, employing structured assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), DISC assessment, or the Communication Styles Inventory can offer more in-depth insights into the client's preferred communication style. These assessments provide a structured framework for understanding whether the client leans towards visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or other communication modes.

Je pense que je ne cesse d'apprendre sur ma communication. J'ai certes mon diplôme de psychologue, mais aussi mes diplômes de thérapeutes (ANDC et EMDR). J'ai appris l'écoute active, la reformulation. Je possède mes propres qualités. Mais, je crois aussi que c'est le travail sur moi que je pratique depuis 15 ans et mon expérience qui m'ont permis de développer mes compétences. Être à l'écoute des feedbacks, se remettre en question, rester bienveillant. Voilà ce qui fait que nous pouvons améliorer encore et encore notre qualité de communicant pour oser se dire et dire les vraies affaires à nos clients. Tout cela avec authenticité.
