1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: People don't care how much you know until they know 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: how much you care. And people know that you care 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: when you talk to them in their language. If you're 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: not communicating to someone in their language, they don't resonate 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: in the same way as if you were talking to 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: someone who doesn't speak English. You could be kind, caring 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: and loving, but they're still not going to understand you. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: You're not going to get through to them. Hey. Everyone, 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: welcome back to On Purpose, the number one health podcast 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: in the world.

I've 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: been traveling all over bumping into so many of you. 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: I love it when you come then tell me that 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: you're an on Purpose listener. It really means the world 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: to me because I feel like for those of you 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: who listen to me every week, we've really build a relationship. 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: Like you know me, you can hear him in your head, 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: you recognize my voice. But even on a deep level, 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: I feel like you understand me, and I feel like 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: I understand you too, because as I see you sharing 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: and I'm always looking out for your stories or your tweets. 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: I start to notice how there's certain things that resonate 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: with you, and I think to myself, Wow, we're really connected. 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: So I really feel a synergy with each and every 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: one of you that make time every week to listen, 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: to learn, and to grow. And I just want to 29 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: thank you for that, because I feel like then when 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: we meet, there's this deeper connection that we wouldn't have otherwise. 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: And what to speak of next year when I go 32 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: on tour. I'm so excited. In the next few weeks, 33 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: I'll be announcing my tour, which I want to tell 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: you about, which I cannot wait to share with you, 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: So make sure you're ready for that, and the launch 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: of my second book, which I am pumped and are 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: comming to tell you all about that. But I'm going 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: to say that we've got an exciting lined out. But 39 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: today I wanted to talk about the four types of 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: people that you're going to meet in your life and 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: how to effectively connect and communicate with them. And I 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: think one of the biggest challenges for all of us 43 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: is that we don't realize that everyone that we meet 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: is wired differently and everyone that we meet is motivated differently. 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: We are always shocked when someone doesn't align with us, 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: when we should be more shocked when someone does align 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: with us. It is actually more likely for you to 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: meet people who think differently than people who think alike. 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: And that is why our dearest friends, our family, the 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: people that we spend the most time with, they're usually 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: a smaller number than the people we know. Like if 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: I asked you how many people are you close to? 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: How many people do you feel deeply connected with? Most 54 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: people would say I can count them on my hand, 55 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: And most of us would say, well, it's few and 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: far between. Maybe you're someone who has one person who 57 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: knows you really well, maybe of two, maybe a five maximum. 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: But you may know one hundred and fifty people. You 59 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: may know two hundred and fifty people. All right, you're 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: really popular, I get it. You know five hundred people, 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: all right, But think about that as a percentage. That 62 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: is such a small percentage of the amount of people 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, acquaintances, you have, people you've come across, versus 64 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the people that you know deeply and the people that 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: know you deeply. And therefore, if you find people who 66 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: are aligned in values, aligned in the way you think, 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: it's very rare. So today I'm going to introduce you 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: to the four types of people you'll meet in this world, 69 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: in life, in work, in relationships, and hopefully after this episode, 70 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: what you're going to get is you're going to understand 71 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: how to connect and communicate with each different type so 72 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: that you don't feel unequipped. How many times in a 73 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: conversation at work do you feel I don't know what 74 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: to say, Or maybe you're introduced to someone new and 75 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: you're like, I don't get why they think about that first, 76 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: Or you start dating someone and you wonder, why do 77 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: they have different priorities? And we start to realize that 78 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: personality types and the way we're set up and the 79 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: way we're wired has a big impact on this. Now, 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to caveat by saying that there's four types 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: i'm introducing you to today. Really there's sixteen types, and actually, 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: if you really look to the world, there's sixty four types. 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: So when we simplify it to four, you're going to 84 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: see a lot of crossovers because it's more complex than that. 85 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think you need me to describe sixty 86 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: four types. So I think four is a good place 87 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: to start. So the way you can quickly identify this 88 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: is by asking two questions that divides these four parts. 89 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: And as you're listening to me, you can do this 90 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: questionnaire on yourself and you can think about the people 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: that you meet, the people that you know, and the 92 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: people that you work with. So the first question is 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: are you more outgoing or are you more reserved? Now, 94 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: whether you're outgoing or reserved, these are both confident. It's 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: just that you have a different wiring. So the outgoing 96 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: person is the life of the party. They start conversations, 97 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: They generate discussions. Often they facilitate the conversation. The reserved 98 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: person may be quieter. They may find one person to 99 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: connect with, They may get into a deep intimate discussion. 100 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: They may listen more, they talk, and then they observe more. 101 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: So answer that question for yourself, are you more outgoing 102 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: or reserved? And people who say they're both that it's 103 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: not necessarily true because we choose one over the other 104 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: when we're feeling our best. When you're feeling your best, 105 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: are you outgoing or are you reserved? So pick one 106 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: o or are? Now? The second question is are you 107 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: more people focused or task focused. If your people focused, 108 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: you're thinking about people's experience, how people feel, how people think. 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: If your task focused, you're focused on what do I 110 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: do first? What do I do next? Okay, if I 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: do that, then I can do that. You get obsessed 112 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: with your to do lists. You get obsessed with all 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: of the tasks of the day. You think about tasks 114 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: before people, or if your people first, you think about 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: people before tasks. We all think about both, but we 116 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: think about one before the other. Are you people or 117 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: are you task? You care about both, but which one 118 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: do you think about first? So now you should have 119 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: two letters. You will leave it to be outgoing and 120 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: task OT, or you'll be outgoing in people OP, or 121 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: you'll be reserved and task RT, or you'll be reserved 122 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: and people are P. So you could be one of 123 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: those four types, and everyone you know in the world 124 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: can be broken down into one of those four types 125 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: in order to help you. I often use this when 126 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm hiring in the workplace because I want to be 127 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: surrounded by people who compliment my skill sets and strengths. 128 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: I often think about this in my own relationship as 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: to how to communicate better with my wife and today, 130 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to actually share with you which ones we 131 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: are and how we communicate differently. So let's start withoutgoing 132 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: and task ot. These people are doers, their planners, their schedulers. 133 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: They get things done, they make things happen. They're drivers. 134 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: These people are dedicated to getting the job done. Often 135 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: they're moving so fast people can get upset. Often they're 136 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: moving so hard that people get burned. And so you 137 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: start to recognize that there's a lot of strengths to 138 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: this personality type, and naturally with all of them, you're 139 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: going to hear about their weaknesses. Now, this person is fantastic, 140 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: and if you are going to communicate with them, if 141 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: you're going to talk to that person, you want to 142 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: be organized. You want to be prepared for the meeting. 143 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: You want to be able to be clear about what 144 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the goal is, what the target is, and what the 145 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: path is. So let's say you're dating someone who's like this. 146 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: If you're going to have a conversation with them about 147 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: where you want to go on vacation, they're going to 148 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: be easier to engage when they can see options, they 149 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: can see plans. If you go up to them and go, 150 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: where do you want to go. They might have a 151 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: plan themselves, but if you're taking on the responsibility, chances 152 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: are they're going to expect you to have a plan 153 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: because that's how they think people want to be communicated 154 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: to in their emotional language, not yours. So yes, they 155 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: might have planned, and they may be ahead of the 156 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: game already, but chances are if you took the responsibility, 157 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: you'd need to do that now. If you have someone 158 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: like this at work, chances are they're already organized, they're 159 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: already four steps ahead. But now when you're doing your role, 160 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: if you want to be able to make them listen, 161 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: if you want to communicate with them in a way 162 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to hear you, they need to hear 163 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: that you have really thought about the timeline or you're 164 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: interested in that approach from them. They need to understand 165 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: that you realize the value of getting things done in 166 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: plans and schedules. If they don't hear that in the 167 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: way you speak, if they don't understand that from the 168 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: way you come across, they actually start to disengage. Notice now, 169 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: think about it, how many times you've talked to someone 170 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: like this and you've realized you've valienated them right now, 171 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 1: raise your hand if you Oh wow, Jay, this was 172 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: a moment for me. You just blew my mind because 173 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: now I know why that person never resonates with me, 174 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: because I'm always trying to be kind to them. I'm 175 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: always trying to be caring to them, but I don't 176 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: care about what they care about. Right. There's a famous 177 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: statement that says, people don't care how much you know 178 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: until they know how much you care. And people know 179 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: that you care when you talk to them in their language. 180 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: So I used to always think, if you're kind, if 181 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: you're loving, if you're caring, then that's what communication needs 182 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: to be. And while that's true, if you're not communicating 183 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: to someone in their language, they don't resonate in the 184 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: same way as if you were talking to someone who 185 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: doesn't speak English. You could be kind, caring and loving, 186 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: but they're still not going to understand you. You're not 187 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: going to get through to them. And so I think 188 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: for all of us we have to be really conscious, 189 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: we have to be really aware of whether we're getting 190 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: through to people. Now, the next time that was OT, 191 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about op so op. These people are influencers, 192 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: they're ideators, they're highly persuasive, they're negotiators, they're good at sales. 193 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: These people are the people that love talking, they love ideating. 194 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: They have a lot of high energy. They often bring 195 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot of energy into a conversation. They're highly motivated. 196 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: They have that bright spark about them. Right, and this 197 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: type of person, one of the things that's really interesting 198 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: about them is that they want to be creative. They 199 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: want to be recognized, they want to be validated. And 200 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: if you're communicating with someone like this, you want to 201 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: allow them to be open and creative. You want to 202 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: let that person lead and innovate. Now, you can also 203 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: see naturally that if you are this person, you're going 204 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: to flourish in environments where you get to express your creativity. 205 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: The biggest mistaken is often you're waiting for someone to 206 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: allow you space to be creative. Often you're waiting for 207 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: someone to let you be creative. And the truth is 208 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: that you are going to have to show it because 209 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: most people don't think like you and don't have time 210 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: to think about these things. They don't have time to think, oh, yeah, 211 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: this person needs me to let them be creative. This 212 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: person needs to let them be blue sky thinking. This 213 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: person needs to let me to let them brainstorm. It 214 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, and so I want you to 215 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: recognize that with these individuals you have to really give 216 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: them space. Notice how different it is when you're talking 217 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: to the OT. You need to be organized, prepared, clear 218 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: about the golden path. With the OP, you need to 219 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: tell them where we're going, but they need to feel 220 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: like they can populate their ideas and energy. They need 221 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: to feel involved and included in the creative aspect it. 222 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: They may not want to implement. So maybe you have 223 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: a partners always coming up with amazing ideas but they 224 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: never implement. It's not because they don't care. It's because 225 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: they're wired that way, where their energy goes into creative 226 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: just as in the OT the energy goes into planning. 227 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: So if you're dating someone who's an OT, they may 228 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: not come up with the most creative things to do, 229 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: but they'll always turn up on time, they'll always be 230 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: organized about it. So start to notice how a lot 231 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: of the traits that we experience in the people we love. 232 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that if someone cares about you that 233 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: they won't be different, but there is an aspect of 234 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: us of how we're wired that limits us because in 235 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: the OT, the creative energy goes into getting things done, 236 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: and in the OP the creative energy goes in actually 237 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: coming up with cool ideas, new things. Now, you can 238 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: already see the conflicts too. Let me just raise that point. 239 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: You can already see the conflicts. If an OT is 240 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: talking to an OP, there's conflict. The OT just wants 241 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: to get things done, he wants to be creative. You 242 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: can see a natural conflict, a natural issue, and the 243 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: only way to solve that is by the OP saying 244 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: to the OT or right, I would love for you 245 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: to tell me the timeline so that I can have 246 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: space to be creative and innovative. Right, So the OP 247 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: commits to a timeline and a realistic timeline. Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout. 248 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: What do all of these have in common? A lack 249 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: of perceived control over your time, thoughts, and tasks. But 250 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: what if I told you fixing all of these problems 251 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: is as simple as fixing your mindset towards them. I know, 252 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: not simple at all. Everyone's busy, everyone's stress, but we 253 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: could all use more calm in our lives, and learning 254 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,479 Speaker 1: to stay grounded and grateful is truly a daily practice. 255 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: That's why I've partnered with Calm dot com to bring 256 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: you the Daily J.

Meditate with me 263 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: by going to Calm dot com forward slash jay to 264 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: get forty percent off a Calm Premium membership that's only 265 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: forty two dollars for the whole year for daily guided meditations. 266 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Experience the Daily J only on carm Okay, the third 267 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: one is reserved in task. These people are calculative, they're cautious, 268 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: they are accurate, they're data driven, they're perfectionists. Often they 269 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: want to get everything just right now. If you're talking 270 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: to this person, you want to be extremely specific. You 271 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: want to go with insight and data. You want to 272 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: go with research. You want to know because they're going 273 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: to know all the details, and they want to know 274 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: do you know all the details? Have you thought about it? 275 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: Have you considered the different various things. So with this individual, 276 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: they're like a calculator. They're going to calculate everything. So 277 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: you go up to your partner and you say, to 278 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: your partner, I want to buy a new dining table. Right. 279 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: If that person is a calculator, they're going to start 280 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: calculating how much you've already spent, how much the budget is, 281 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: and what is left. And they're either going to get 282 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: upset because they think you haven't thought about it, or 283 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: they're going to say, well, how much is it and 284 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: if you say, oh, well, I haven't really thought about it, 285 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: they get triggered. That's how this works. We get triggered 286 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: because we're wired to prioritize that. Imagine you're wired to 287 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: think about something first, and you think the person talking 288 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: to you hasn't thought about that. Often we tell that 289 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: person's snappy or that person's insensitive, But it's not always that. 290 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: It could be that, of course, but it often is 291 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: the idea that they haven't really been approaching this with 292 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: the foresight that you may have thought about this. So 293 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: if you're communicating with someone at work who's reserved and task, 294 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: you want to get specific with them. You want to 295 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: think about how you can really connect with them based 296 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: on data, insight, and solutions based on that. The fourth 297 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: type is the reserved and people. This person cares about 298 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: people first. They care about people's feelings. They're emotionally intelligent, 299 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: they're highly stable and supportive. They're good mediators, They're good 300 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: at dealing with challenges. Have you noticed how some of 301 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: your friends are just really good at helping with issues 302 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: and others are just pushing you to get on with it? Right, 303 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: So the OT is just telling you to get on 304 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: with it. The OP wants to talk to you about it, 305 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: but may not have a plan. The reserved and task 306 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: is calculating and logic trying to break it down. And 307 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: then finally the reserved in people it's just listening, trying 308 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: to understand you. That's how we're wired. You may think 309 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: the other person doesn't care, but their style of care 310 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: is different. Someone may care about you by wanting you 311 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: to move on. Someone may care about you by giving 312 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: you ideas. Someone may care about you about being specific, 313 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: and someone may care about you about listening to your emotions. 314 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: Notice how all those types of care are useful in 315 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: different areas. So it's not that people don't care. It's 316 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: that they care differently, And I think we get that 317 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: misconstrued because we think that care should be the same thing. 318 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: It should just be affectionist. But I've found that sometimes 319 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: I choose because of my wiring to be assertively affectionate 320 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: or affectionately assertive. So that's my way of being where 321 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: I want to be affectionate, but I also want to 322 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: be assertive. But some people would just give you affect. 323 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that the affectionately assertive person doesn't care 324 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: about you. Now, that doesn't mean people don't need to change, 325 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean people don't need to evolve and 326 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: develop emotional intelligence. It's just that someone may care about you, 327 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: they may just express it differently. And of course this 328 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: gets complex now if you are in a company with 329 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: someone who is reserved and people, they often don't get 330 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: hurt because they're caring so much about people, they never 331 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: get hurt. People don't often know how they feel. The 332 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: people that listen to how you feel are often unheard 333 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: and unseen. Write that down. That's really important. People that 334 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: make time to listen to you are often unheard and 335 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: unseen themselves because they're trying to feel what you feel, 336 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: and no one ever asked them how they feel? Right, 337 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: no one ever asked them how they feel. So for 338 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: those people, if you're dating them, if you're in work 339 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: with them, make sure you stop, pause, reflect and ask 340 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: them how they're doing. Check in with them, see how 341 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: they're feeling. Now, what I love about this is that 342 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: an ideal company, an ideal family, an ideal relationship has 343 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: all of these. There's a beautiful statement by Albert Einstein 344 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: where he said that everyone's a genius, but if you 345 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, 346 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: it will spend its whole life believing that it's stupid. Fascinating, right, 347 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: amazing how that so easily happens. I want you to 348 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: recognize that the people in your life are talented, they 349 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: are skilled, they are able. It's just that they think 350 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: differently in the workplace. There's this great conversation between Steve 351 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: Jobs and Steve WASN'TIAC and Steve WASN'TIAC. The tech brains 352 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: behind Apple looks at Steve Jobs and says, what do 353 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: you even do? You're not an engineer, you're not an artist, 354 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: you're not a code or what do you do? And 355 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs said musicians played their instruments. I played the orchestra, 356 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: which means he knew that he couldn't do all of this, 357 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: but he could bring people together to do all of it. Now, 358 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example with me and RADI. So 359 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: I am an OP. I'm outgoing and I'm people oriented. 360 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: It suits what I do for work, it suits my personality, 361 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: and I have adopted different traits from other personality types 362 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: to make me more well rounded. But over time, I've 363 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 1: developed more of the emotionally intelligent person because I care 364 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: about people deeply. But I've also developed more of the 365 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: task oriented person because I want to get things done. 366 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: But I choose to surround myself because I'm an OP. 367 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: I choose to surround myself with more reserved and task 368 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: because that's an opposite to me. I'm not usually detail oriented. 369 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't like to focus on all the specifics. I 370 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: like to have people on my team focus on things 371 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: like that, right Rather, my wife is more likely to 372 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: be reserved in people. So I'm outgoing in people and 373 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: she's reserved in people. Now, how does that affect us 374 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: in our relationship? It means I need to make time 375 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: to really check in with her, to make sure she 376 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: has space for her to tell me how she feels, 377 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: for her to have space to reflect to her, to 378 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: have time to think about it. She doesn't always want 379 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: to be dragged to events, She doesn't always want to 380 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: go out and meet new people. She wants to be 381 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: in the comfort of being around people she knows, people 382 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: she trusts. So I have to be mindful of those things. 383 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: I have to be conscious of those things that that's 384 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: what she's looking for. And that's not because she doesn't 385 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: love our life and she doesn't love me. It's because 386 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: she's wired differently, and same with me. I like to 387 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: meet new people, I like to go to new places. 388 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: I also like my friends. I also recharge a lot 389 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: by being alone and spending time alone. And so when 390 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: we start to realize that our differences are not because 391 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: we're disconnected from each other. Are differences are because we're different, 392 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: we're wired differently, and we start to recognize that we 393 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: don't take things personally. The problem is we take a 394 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: lot of these things very personally. So I hope this 395 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: helps you in work in relationships, in life moving forward, 396 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: because I think too many of us don't recognize how 397 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: we take life to personally make life very difficult when 398 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: actually it's so much about how the other person is 399 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: actually wired. Now, I want to thank you for listening 400 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: to today's episode. I really hope it does help you 401 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: in work and in life. And I want to take 402 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: a moment now at the end to just read a 403 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: few reviews, because we've had some amazing reviews lately, and 404 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: I just want to point out we've got nineteen thousand reviews. 405 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: My goal this year from on purpose, from all of 406 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: you is to get to twenty thousand. So we're nearly there, 407 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: but I need your help and then we'll of course 408 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: see how many more we can get to. But here's 409 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: an amazing review from sun Rose. Thank you so much, 410 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Jay for providing us all with such great content and knowledge. 411 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: I was going through a really difficult time when I 412 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: coincidentally discovered your podcasts. I've also bought your book, and 413 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: they both have helped me tremendously. It has been a 414 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: little over a year that I started listening to you. 415 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: You have been a great help to me becoming a 416 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: better version of myself. Thank you. That was beautiful Rose. 417 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sending that. This is Nick 418 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: sing I appreciate your podcast tremendously as a person who 419 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: recently divorced five years ago and now trying to build 420 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: on a new relationship with somebody I love dearly. Your 421 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: podcast has given me plenty of insight about my anxiety 422 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: and fear of being alone. What I'd like to learn 423 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: is how to be alone and love myself. What tips 424 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: can I follow? It's been difficult for me to be 425 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: away from my girlfriend while she and I are traveling 426 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: separately and away from each other for three weeks. I 427 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: miss a much, but could this mean I'm over possessive. 428 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: I'll do an episode on that. Nick, thank you for 429 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: that review. I love you also dropping in questions in 430 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: the reviews. It's helpful for me. Thank you so much. 431 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Can't wait to see you next time. 432 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: It's you soon. M
