What is your personality? And do you think it's working for you or against you?
Have you even asked yourself those questions?
Personality is like DNA
You've got a personality . . . it's like your DNA. It's invisible (at least to you, but not to others), and you can't escape it. Some people -- including very intelligent people -- are doomed by their personality. Others -- including very dumb people -- succeed because of their personality.
And what does personality have to do with Business Communications?
Well, do you think you can communicate without involving your personality?
Your personality -- like it or not -- sets the tone for your communication. How well you succeed as a communicator is due, in part, to your personality and how you use it. Consequently, you better know something about your personality and especially how to use it.
