I'm Brent Haydey with One Wave Life. Calm Waters is a podcast all about living a life of meaning and experiencing success that really matters to you.
Periodically I will talk with business owners, executives, and many others on their path of work-life balance, meaningful and profitable work, and being able to fully live their ideal lives at the same time.
Hear their powerfully inspiring stories of how they faced wave after wave of overwhelm, overwork, imbalance, and burnout to rise up and harness the power of those waves and ride them towards the calm waters of a rewarding life steeped in feelings of success, clarity, fulfillment, joy, freedom, and purpose.
Occasionally I will also talk with industry experts in each of my 7 Waves of Real Success to provide you with tangible take away insights that you can apply directly into your world immediately. Their expertise will help you begin on your pathway of change.

26. Unlocking People Dynamics: A Deep Dive into the DISC System
Understand DISC And Deepen Your Relationships At Work and Home
Do you ever wonder why people don't seem to get you and where you are coming from? Do you wonder why they don't respond in a way that seems to make perfect sense to you? Perhaps they have a different primary behavioural and communication style than you.
Improve your understanding of the most important people in your world, including yourself, and you'll experience less stress, deeper connection, increased productivity and results, and greater happiness. That, of course, adds to your ability to create and live with work-life balance.
Listen in as Shelley Tobin from Hire Growth Consulting and I discuss the DISC behavioural and communication system. Learn how you can understand each of the 4 different styles, know your prominent one, and be better able to communicate with all people, whether at work or at home towards greater success, better results and a happier interpersonal dynamic with your important people.
