Understanding People Through Behavioral Style

According to the leading Professional Image Consultant, Ms. Bonita D. Sempurno; a complete picture of human behavior can be likened to a complete ‘map’.

The more complete and more information we have, the more complete the description of a person’s behavior will be. Understanding the types of behavioral styles that exist will help us understand and get to know other people more effectively, as well as find effective communication techniques for different people.

Furthermore, according to Mrs. Bonita, “A good relationship starts with good communication”. There is no such thing as “Rejection”, there are “Inflexible” Communicators. So to find flexibility in communication, it is important to recognize the types of behavioral styles, the positives and negatives of behavioral styles, as well as barriers that may arise in communication due to existing behavioral styles.

There are at least 4 (four) behavioral styles described, namely Power, Slang, Thinking, and Harmony. Each style of behavior has its own barriers to communication. For example, the Power Type is too pushy and aggressive, the Slang Type tends to talk a lot, the Thinker Type is more quiet, and the Harmony Type is less responsive and gives in more often. Understanding these four characters will help in building good relationships with other people.

Mrs. Bonita also explained the techniques and personal tips to achieve effective communication in each of the four behavioral styles.
