Being a relationship coach<\/strong><\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be all about helping people with the woes of their marriage.\u00a0 If it sounds like more fun to be a dating coach<\/a><\/strong>, you can go far beyond what a \u2018matchmaker\u2019 provides by using the DISC Assessment as a tool to help your clients find their ideal type.\u00a0 There are patterns that can be quickly used to become a relationship coach<\/strong> who can provide strategy to help people find relationships with a greater probability of success.\u00a0 If you are looking to be a dating coach<\/strong>, here are some patterns to help get you started.<\/p>\n

Using the DISC Assessment as a Relationship Coach<\/h3>\n

To be a dating coach<\/strong> who understands the basics of the DISC Assessment, you\u2019ll need to understand what each letter stands for.\u00a0 \u2018D\u2019 stands for Dominance.\u00a0 Someone who has a high \u2018D\u2019 will tend to be goal oriented, dominant, and someone who rises to challenges.\u00a0 \u2018I\u2019 stands for Influence.\u00a0 Someone with a high \u2018I\u2019 will tend to be people oriented, trusting of people, optimistic and social.\u00a0 \u2018S\u2019 stands for Steadiness.\u00a0 Someone with a high \u2018S\u2019 will tend to be consistent, persistent, and keep things stable.\u00a0 \u2018C\u2019 stands for Compliance.\u00a0 A high \u2018C\u2019 will tend to follow the rules and be very detail oriented.\u00a0 All these behavioral characteristics have their strengths and weaknesses, and as a relationship coach<\/strong> you can help your clients understand which qualities will best complement their own style.<\/p>\n

Using DISC to Be a Dating Coach Who Can Predict Successful Partners<\/h3>\n

How can you use this information to be a dating coach<\/span>?\u00a0 For example, a man with a high \u2018D\u2019 needs someone who will let him run the show.\u00a0 Otherwise there will always be a power struggle.\u00a0 This can be a woman with a lower \u2018D\u2019 or a woman who has a high \u2018C\u2019 and high \u2018S\u2019.\u00a0 A woman with a high \u2018D\u2019 and high \u2018I\u2019 needs to find a low key, introverted male.\u00a0 A man with a low \u2018D\u2019 will ideally needs to find a woman with a high \u2018I\u2019, \u2018S\u2019, or \u2018C\u2019 combination so he can run the show.\u00a0 Or he can take on the more feminine role with a woman who has a high \u2018D\u2019.\u00a0 A woman who has a high \u2018S\u2019 and \u2018C\u2019 combination has a little more variety in the men she will be able to date.\u00a0 A man with a high \u2018D\u2019 might be too much, but other combinations will usually work out well.\u00a0 A strong understanding of the DISC Assessments will help you in all aspects of your relationship coach<\/span> practice.<\/p>\n

The Personality Type that Needs a Little More from their Relationship Coach<\/h3>\n

Anyone with the high \u2018SC\u2019 combination will want comfort and stability.\u00a0 They really look for that in all areas of their life.\u00a0 To be a dating coach<\/span> for someone with this behavioral style you have to communicate with them that relationships aren\u2019t comfortable and stable.\u00a0 Be a relationship coach<\/span> who helps them realize that if they want a relationship, they will need to experience grown, and that will be uncomfortable.\u00a0 Help them learn to share their needs for comfort and security with their family or friends.\u00a0 They may initially resist, but when they follow through they will notice that they can increase the depth of their relationships.<\/p>\n

Behavior Recognition is Key if You Want to Be a Dating Coach With Good Business<\/h3>\n

The key is to match behavioral styles that complement each other.\u00a0 Finding complementary behavioral styles is a big key to intimacy.\u00a0 If you decide to be a dating coach you\u2019ll also have plenty of business for your relationship coach practice.<\/p>\n
