WHAT IS THE INSPIRERS PROJECT?

It is MTW’s Social Innovation project, which aims at enhancing the soft skills of all communicators and acknowledge the importance of communication to the economy, education and society.

Inspirers will help you discover your communication profile, get to know yourself better and to adjust your communication style to other profiles to garner more interest. You can also schedule a lecture at your school or company or, who knows, be a speaker at one of them.

With Inspirers’ help, young people will understand the role soft skills play in their school performance and in the job market, teachers will learn how to appreciate each of their students and parents will understand and help their children to be themselves.

OUR SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

The DISC diagnosis is based on a theory by psychologist William Moulton Marston, which was published for the first time in his book “Emotions of Normal People” (1928), to assess the behaviour patterns of people in certain settings.

DISC is based on four types of behaviour – Dominance (D), Inducement (I), Submission (S) and Compliance (C) – which, together, determine our preferences.

According to this model, people who are aware of their profile are more likely to be successful in what they do and in their relationship with others. When used properly, it is a very useful tool to improve communication between people, thus increasing everyone’s rate of success and effectiveness.



The Eagle

You look people directly in the eye, you have a strong grip and a confident tone of voice. Some of your favourite words are “challenge” and “results". If you are an eagle, you’re likely asking yourself “what do I gain by knowing this?”

The Parrot

Easy-going, you communicate at a fast pace and in an enthusiastic tone. If you had to choose two words, they’d likely be “imagine” and “awesome”. As a parrot, you are probably asking yourself “what am I going to learn here?”

The Dove

You have a warm look and speak in a low and soft voice with a deliberate tone. You like the words “harmony” and “step-by-step”. If you identify with this, you are probably thinking “will I be able to help others more?”

The Owl

You hardly gesticulate and speak in a low and deliberate tone of voice. The words you use most are “details” and “analysis”. If you’re an owl, you’ll want to ask the right question.
