Listen in as host, Adam J. Salgat, talks with Bev Thiel, Executive Director of Kent County, MI Habitat for Humanity. Bev explains why she and her team have found great value in implementing the Our Community Listens skills. She discusses the use of the DISC assessment and how her team uses this knowledge to impact the community members they partner with and serve. Bev also discusses the impact the skills have had in her personal life, including creating a deeper relationship with her son through the power of listening. She explains why these skills are important to her as a female leader in her community and how they provide strength in confrontational situations. Listeners - In this conversation, DISC tendencies are mentioned without a deep explanation. The DISC assessment is a tool we use to identify behavioral and communication styles. Bev refers to herself as having a ‘D’ DISC profile. People with ‘D’ profiles tend to display characteristics of directness in their leadership and communication practices.
