Overview of SOCIAL STYLE

What is SOCIAL STYLE?

Your SOCIAL STYLE is your preferred way of acting and interacting. Some people work quickly, others more slowly. Some respond better to data and others to stories or personal experiences. SOCIAL STYLE training helps you understand your own preferences and those of others. Most importantly, it teaches you how to recognize the behavior of others and create strong, productive relationships with anyone.

The Golden Rule says to treat others the way YOU want to be treated. But the SOCIAL STYLE Platinum Rule shows you how to treat others the way THEY want to be treated. The impact  of the Platinum Rule is profound.

SOCIAL STYLE Model

TRACOM created the SOCIAL STYLE Model by evaluating what factors distinguished the most successful people from others. And more than someone’s IQ, education or experience, their ability to create good relationships drives performance.

There are four unique Styles.  Each Style has different ways of using time, interacting with others, and making decisions

With SOCIAL STYLE you can observe a person and determine their preferences or Style. You can then use that information to moderate your behavior and make that person more comfortable, allowing you to resolve conflict. This is called Versatility. It’s practical and powerful.

We have found that by teaching both the SOCIAL STYLE and Versatility models developed by TRACOM, we are able to create more effective interpersonal relationships. It’s necessary to educate our associates both on how their behaviors are perceived and how they can adapt their behaviors to others in order to achieve business success.

Paul Bentley
Director of the Boise State Center for Professional Development

SOCIAL STYLE equips learners with the tools to understand their own behavioral style, and how their behaviors and preferred methods of communication might be perceived by others. SOCIAL STYLE also teaches us about our hot buttons and how to manage our backup behaviors, or behaviors we resort to when we feel stressed or threatened. In return, participants also learn about the other SOCIAL STYLEs and how to assess other people’s behaviors to determine their Style and, thus, how they prefer to be treated.
