Influencing the Steadiness Personality – “S”

Welcome to this week's Life Warm-Up™ -
Building Your Influencer Inc. Company
Life Warm-Up™ 
Howdy All!

Remember the theme for this year is, “Living a Life of Influence!”

Influencing the Steadiness Personality – “S”

The “S” personality is a combination of Slower-Paced and People-Oriented.
“S” stands for Steadiness and can be summarized with the following descriptors:


  • Supportive
  • Stable
  • Secure
  • Service-oriented
  • Sweet
  • Submissive
  • Shy
  • Status quo
  • Sentimental
  • Soft
1.      Everyone has to a lesser or greater extent the “S” traits. 
2.      The stronger the “S” tendency the more you like to move slowly while building relationships. 
3.      The lesser the “S” tendency the more you like to speed up and create change.
4.      Again no one is strictly just an “S”.
5.      You are a unique blend of all four personality traits.
6.      However, if you notice someone that likes to move more slowly and build relationships then in order to influence them we must learn to adapt our pace and priority to meet their own.
7.      Influence is not about losing your identity or having to compromise.
8.      Influence is the ability to understand where others are coming from and impact them positively.
9.      Something a High “S” might say, “How is everyone doing?  Is everybody comfortable?  Is there anything I can do to help you?”
10.  When you walk away from an interaction the thoughts of the other person should be, “Wow, they seemed to really understand where I was coming from, I want to be around them more!”
11.  That’s influence!

Interact with Influence with an “S” by:
  • Be patient and friendly
  • Allow them to take their time and warm up to you and others when appropriate
  • Focus on working with them as a team when developing a plan of attack
  • Be willing to allow time for processing changes
  • Be calm and non-confrontational when working with them
  • Know that they are motivated by a safe, predictable or steady environment
Have a great week,

Sincerely,
Pete Hinojosa
