Hitting the Mark

Have you ever experienced a communication breakdown that resulted in lost time, resources or deceased motivation and energy? Of course you have; we’ve all been there.

Somewhere during the conversation you realized that you were totally missing the mark with your audience, or vice versa. Even worse, you may have had no real idea of how to fix it! How frustrating.


The reality is we all live and work in a world full of people with different perspectives and approaches. To simplify the complexity, people in each of the four imapMyTeam quadrants perceive things differently.   Unless you learn to adjust your communication style you may be miscommunicating with a lot of people!

Look at your team dynamics grid and match your diamond symbol [strengths] to the rest of the teams circle [needs].  Your strengths represent your usual approach, while their needs will give you insight to how they are likely to perceive your message.

All of these different methods of communicating, listening and processing information could be overwhelming. But imapMyTeam gives you a number of ways to help adjust to what works with your colleagues.

There are two reports found at imapMyTeam.com that can be incredibly useful for you to begin to properly frame conversations with others. ‘How to Talk with Them’ and ‘What to Avoid with Them.’

Better communication, faster results, lower stress. The result you want from every communication…now that is what we call ‘Hitting the Mark!’
