Encompass Community Advocate As a relationship educator, one of my favorite things is personality types and tests! I think they are a fun way to understand ourselves better and understand how we function in relation to others. Because I use such tests in my classes I’ve spent a lot of time studying and understanding them. This has led me to have a pretty good understanding of my own strength and growth areas. This has come up for me recently in a relationship where I’m starting to realize one of my strengths, loyalty, has become a growth area. Let me explain!

 Our blog post theme for March is "Growth Areas." So, our blog post authors will be challenging us toward growth in personal awareness for the sake of strengthening relationships.
By Lavern Nissley Encompass Executive Director If you're like me, when I see the words "Growth Areas", a tinge of cringe hits me. I mean, who wants to examine this very personal area of life? Yet, on the other side of diving into this topic are positive opportunities. I discovered this when looking at my DISC Archetype of Harmonizer in order to understand what's at stake. You'll see a link after this post to discover your own DISC Archetype(s) and what your growth areas might look like. 
The theme for August posts will be Finances/Money in Marriage, which seems to be a common issue between spouses. This post is a reprint from September, 2020.
By Lavern Nissley Encompass Executive Director Spender. Saver. Risk-taker. Security seeker. Flyer. All ways of how people are "wired" around money. Even as there are behavioral personality characteristics such as outgoing, reserved, confident, calm, etc., there are also personality types related to our engagement with money and financial management. Differing money personalities can create disagreements and even major conflicts in marriages, families, groups and organizations. But learning your own money personality(ies) can bring insights and more realistic expectations. Discover your money personality in about 3 minutes through a FREE online assessment that we've developed for use in The RINGS Experience. |
