This governing influence supports meaningful engagement in a student\u2019s interpersonal arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a place of frequent relational turbulence, this arena could be described as a bumper-human world wherein various behavioral pressures frequently bless, bother, and bruise others.

According to the Scriptures, it is God\u2019s intention that this believer make every effort to imitate God as Christ demonstrated (i.e., be imitators; Eph. 5:1) so that those on the other side of \u2018me\u2019 are influenced toward Christ (i.e., Paul inspired others to imitation; 1 Cor. 11:1) rather than away from Him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>In light of your DISC style, point out how you will shift your style (i.e., find common ground; 1 Cor. 9) to align with each of the four primary styles? <\/strong>Each alignment should give attention to the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Noticeably use language from the readings and assessments that describe relational style patterns (i.e., strengths, shortcomings, immature &amp; mature styles, blindspots: overuse of a strength or an unmanaged shortcoming, communication traps, etc).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Dig deep and apply several pertinent insights and techniques from each of this assignment\u2019s required sources (7).
