When Does Being an Entertainer Work?

The CommanderOrganizer, and the Relater are the first three types in the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile® that we have looked at so far.  What have you learned about yourself through this information?  What have you learned about your choice in  the traits you use or don’t use?

Well, we have the last, but certainly not the least of the traits – the Entertainer.  Entertainers are emotional caring and supportive…in short, they love people.  They are outgoing, optimistic, motivational types who like to make a favorable impression. They like to socialize and, well, entertain.

While you are reading this you may immediately identify the characteristics within yourself or in someone you know.  Entertainer traits are the easiest to pick out and amazingly enough are sometimes the hardest to draw upon IF you are extremely introverted.  But believe it or not, even the most introverted access their entertainer from time to time :)

Here are coaching questions regarding the Entertainer:

  1. What situations would serve you best for your Entertainer to make an appearance?
  2. What characteristics about your Entertainer are most attractive?
Think of all of the times in your life when you have been or would like to be an Entertainer.  Think about how much energy it would take to be an entertainer some or all of the time.  How much effort would it take and what strengths would you draw on to bring the Entertainer out?

Your assignment is the same as last three weeks.  Take a personal inventory of when, in the past 2 weeks, you have been optimistic, supportive, and entertaining. When has your entertainer shown up – in work, at home, with friends, coworkers or family?

Over the past 4 weeks we have looked at all types, Commander, Organizer, Relater and Entertainer, of the CORE MAP®.  Next week we will put it all together – you won’t want to miss it!

When Is Your Relater Present?

We have been looking at the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile® and explored the Commander and Organizer.  So what did you find about these two types?  How often does your Commander (see previous blog on Commanders) drive you?  What about your Organizer (see previous blog on Organizer)? Now, let’s look at the “R”- Relater characteristics.  Relaters…

When Does Being an “Organizer” Serve you?

In the last blog I discussed the “C” – Commander in the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile® (click here to see the  previous blog).   This week we are focusing on the “O”- Organizer.  Remember from last time, we all have each of the traits C-O-R-E present in each of us. Organizers are analytical thinking, detail…

Is there a Commander in You?

I have always been fascinated with what makes people who they are.  I’ve been draw to nature vs. nurture conversations and have been a personality assessment junkie!  I have taken the MBTI, DiSC Assessment, The Birkman Method Assessment and many others.  I love the insight that personality profiles provide so much that I became an…

Empowerment 101 – Don’t be a Goose!!

A few months ago I was driving down a busy street when traffic came to a screeching halt. Four lanes of vehicles all waiting for a flock of geese to cross the road. As I sat and impatiently waited and watched the 30 or so geese meander across the road I said out loud “Geez Louise!…

Stalled Momentum?

We are officially in the 3rd week of January and hopefully your New Years Resolution is still rolling along.  But I wanted to bring something to light that could happen.  Stalled momentum.  It is something that happens to even the most successful people and often times at the most inopportune times. My clients and I…
