Think DiSC! How to Work with the S Style

THINK DiSC! ***How to work with the S style*** PROBLEM: Your teammate is such a warm and friendly soul, always the one to bring in cupcakes on someone's birthday or buy the retirement card for all to sign...fiercly loyal and willing to go the extra mile for the team...always.

What do I really, really want? This is a question I ask of my group coaching clients each week. They have to reflect and journal their answers to me. This week, I decided to write my own list, too. Putting it out there to the universe...let the conspiring to "make it so" begin! What do I really, really want?I want to make $150K annually from doing art and coaching.
