Have you every wondered why you do some of the things you do?? Or, even more confounding, why your spouse or child or parent or boss or neighbor… does things the way they do?! If you’ve ever wanted (or needed!) some answers and a greater appreciation for yourself and others, I’d like to introduce you to the four Learning Styles as defined by Dr. Anthony Gregorc.

First of all, I need to tell you that this information is truly life-changing, relationship-improving, marriage-saving information! I believe that with all my heart.  I’ve seen it in action. I’ve seen the results of it in the lives of those who took the time to find out what their dominant learning style was… as well as the dominant learning style of the significant people in their lives.

Our dominant learning style dictates how we communicate with others, and the degree to which we understand the learning styles has much to do with how successful we are in our relationships.  Gaining an understanding of how our mind takes in and organizes information gives us a greater appreciation for ourselves and also for others.

One stay-at-home mother who took my seminar about the learning styles titled “Understanding Yourself & Others” exclaimed a few weeks afterward that “knowing the learning styles has revolutionized our home life!”  That’s pretty powerful language! She finally realized why she had been experiencing power struggles in her daily interactions with her 5-year-old daughter. She now has a better idea of how to accommodate her daughter’s learning style rather than unknowingly squelching it or provoking her daughter to anger and rebellion. In addition to her understanding of the conflict that had been present in the parent-child relationship, she gained some helpful tips that enable her to  nurture her daughter’s learning style. The result = a more positive relationship.

You’ll never know just how helpful this information can be to you until you respond to the Style Delineator and receive an explanation of the four learning styles. I have produced a DVD that provides step-by-step instructions on completing this inventory tool and outlines detailed descriptions of the characteristics of each learning style.  Again, I cannot stress enough how important this information is to improving your relationships at all levels! The DVD titled “Understanding Yourself & Others,” as well as copies of Dr. Gregorc’s Style Delineator,  is available on the Resources page of this website.

Do yourself — and others — a favor by learning more about your own learning style and the dominant styles of those around you.  You’ll be glad you did!  And please feel free to contact me by email at p2pmin@verizon.net if you have any questions about the Learning Styles.
