The Personality Compass
The Personality Compass
One of the most exciting tools I've added to my box in recent years is certification in the
Personality Compass. I've often been drawn by the potential usefulness of instruments like
the Myers Briggs Type indicator and DISC. Participants seemed to enjoy the exercises
and were apparently fascinated by the results but having been both an attendee and a
contracting training director, I observed how short-lived the actual application of those
measures turned out to be. I could barely remember my own Myers-Briggs classification
and what it meant and frankly was never able to remember the classifications of my
employees, much less actually use them.
Then I was introduced to Diane Turner and Thelma Greco who developed the Personality
Compass. The instrument has received acclaim in both Europe and South Africa and has
been successfully utilized in companies like USA Today, Tandy Radio Shack and Merck.
I attended a seminar and as I listened to Diane and Thelma speak and present the
Compass I said to myself, "finally here is a personality type instrument that I could
really use." Based on the points of the compass, this personality profile model is so
straight forward and easy to understand that by the end of the seminar, we were all
talking compass. Previous experiences with DISC and Myers-Briggs either left me
wanting something more (DISC) or had me facing hours of study and analysis to learn and
apply (Myers-Briggs). With the Personality Compass, we were able to begin applying it by
the end of the first day and I haven't stopped since!
The Compass is able to help me better prepare training modules, makes me a more
effective coach and adds a new dimension of insight when I am working on performance
interventions.
I am rather proud to say that I am among the first to certified to deliver this exciting new
and very useful tool. I am convinced that this tool would be useful for everyone in your
organization from team members to the CEO.

| "The Personality Compass is the first easy-to-use
|
| "Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! The Personality Compass is based on age old Jungian principles... and it works. I've recommended it dozens of times and will continue to do so in the future!"
Director of Executive Communication Tandy RadioShack |
| "A truly enlightening moment occurred when we all understood that people aren't really difficult after all, they're simply different from ourselves. Knowing how to deal with the natural clash of opposites could make conflicts obsolete."
