The India Chapter of the International Advertising Association hosted Dr. George Watts as speaker for the Third IAA Board Room Conversation sponsored by MTV at the Board Room of Hansa Public Relations.
Personality traits will help you discover your natural strengths and unlock your highest potential. Self awareness is the best and easiest way to gain clarity as to who you are and where your future lies.
Have you ever thought, “Why does the other person behave or think like this? Why does he not conduct himself and work similarly to me? “Why do some people learn certain things faster than others? Why do we like some people for no (apparent) reason”?
Our correspondent was fortunate enough to interview Dr. George Watts – Chairman of Top Line Talent, a nationally recognized leader, author and behavioural scientist. His passion is inspiring people to unlock their highest potential. His message is simple and timeless – for optimum success, discover your natural strengths and find the right platform to leverage them.
Says Dr. Watts “The answer lies in the way our brains are wired. Our personality can be broadly identified by five core traits. A simple, yet effective way, is to rank these traits from 1 to 5 to help understand our strengths and weaknesses. The traits are:
By identifying your top ranked trait you can better understand your optimal career path. And, you can more easily relate and work effectively with your co-workers by understanding what their number one trait is. It is also valuable to look at your number five trait to understand the direction or career that you should not pursue. Behavioral science research clearly shows that to be most effective and happy on the job, you should build your career around your number one trait.
This technology can not only help you in choosing the right work profile for yourself but can empower organisations to select the right talent for a specific job. The HR department can use this simple yet highly effective methodology even to reshuffle talent to improve efficiency and employee job satisfaction.
Top Line Talent is a new, ground-breaking online consultative selling skills training program that is based upon this personality model. The program teaches experienced salespeople and professionals in how to communicate effectively and strategically partner with clients. In addition, Dr Watts’ books and radio program, The Business Doctor, have positively changed and impacted the lives of thousands of people across the globe.
Dr. George Watts is Chairman of Top Line Talent. His firm is partnering with CII in India to promote the TLT program throughout India. The firm has already provided theInternet based training to TVS Dynamic in Chennai.
Laurie Blazek, the firm’s CEO, said “Top Line Talent has taken the very best in behavioral and brain science to train people how to more effectively communicate and develop strategic relationships with their clients and even co-workers. Mahatma Gandhi was prescient when he said “Be Congruent, Be Authentic, Be Your True Self”. This is the basis of being able to effectively hold deep conversations”.
If you believe people are born either with or without creativity – you have it or you don’t – you’d be wrong. You easily have the power to magnify your thinking and become more inspired to go further than you ever dreamed possible. When you identify your core strengths and develop a game plan to leverage strengths you will go further and faster in your career.
Top Line Talent consists of 28 lessons spread over four months. The program includes an audio book, videos, an interactive journal, practice exercises and an Ebook. This multiple modality approach cements learning and changes behavior. Human relation training usually consists of one day seminars. This approach is of little worth because participants forget most of what they have learned within thirty days after the experience. Only Top Line Talent permanately changes behavior because of the science upon which it based.
India’s goal is to become a leader in skill based learning; this kind of training can be instrumental in helping India in consultative selling. It is required to form deep, long-term strategic business partnerships that are not based upon low price, but based upon value.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Srinivasan Swamy, President, IAA India Chapter & Vice President Development, IAA Asia Pacific said, “We are delighted to host Dr. Watts, who has worked with over 5000 CEOs and delivered world-class leadership coaching and training programs globally. The Young Professionals attending the session left with practical knowledge on self actualization.”
“We usually try to cover our weaknesses, what I learnt from Dr. Watts is to focus our strengths and get our weaknesses complimented by hiring someone who has the traits which the job requires.” Manish Advani – Head Marketing & PR – Mahindra Special Services Group
