When we grieve the loss of life collectively it brings our own mortality to the forefront. In this episode, I will share my thoughts on collective grief and what it all means. Part of this episode also explores the value of the DISC Personality assessment tool. If you haven't checked this one out, make sure to do so. It is a valuable snapshot into discovering who you are and how you operate. I've always been skeptical about personality assessment questionnaires. To be honest, I hated taking them because I didn't feel like a few standardized questions had the ability to tell anyone who didn't know me any real solid information about me. After taking this test and reviewing the results, I have a completely different outlook on these tests/assessments and their ability to analyze us on an extremely personal level.Make sure to use the link I provided to explore and possibly find out some things about yourself you weren't aware of. Thank you for tuning in. And if you enjoy the episode, please share it with someone and leave me a rating and review. I love you all more than I love chocolate and that's a hell of a lot!
