I GROWING UP IN THE HUB CITY

n high school I worked at a local fast food restaurant. It is actually still there, and though the building has been renovated, perhaps even completely redone, the business rests on the identical footprint on Johnston Street where many of my friends and I earned our spending money.

Summer jobs were not so easy to come by. Larger restaurants typically didn’t hire high school students, and opportunities for parttime work were scarce. The girls among us hired out as babysitters, and I once made enough money taking care of the children in my neighborhood to finance my summer trip to Astroworld in Houston.

Few of us had glamorous employment. Those of us who worked for national brands had to wear thick polyester uniforms lacking fashion and style, many fully equipped with a matching hat. My friends Sally, Candace, and I refused to wear our rust-colored, small-brimmed caps with a goofy logo, and we did so because they were awfully uncomfortable and awfully uncool. Our manager allowed the bending of this rule because we were the fastest drive-through girls he had.

We could add burgers and fries and drinks without a calculator, and thus our arithmetic skills placed us in a premier position. Cash registers lacked the automation common at a check-out line today, so we had to memorize the cost of every menu item and then mentally add the prices together. It was no small feat.

My brother and his friends worked at Bonanza and a fried chicken chain. They brought home the extra food, and the chicken tacos that arrived in our house after closing hours were devoured by our late night summer guests. That fried chicken restaurant doesn’t offer those tacos any more, and I’m still regretting their absence from the menu.

What I learned working at a fast food restaurant easily fit into what I was taught at home. My bosses expected my co-workers and me to exhibit courtesy and a dedicated work ethic. They expected us to be punctual and truthful. They noticed when we went the extra mile.

They applauded our excellence and they reprimanded our lackluster performance. We knew what was expected of us.

W SERVING SURVIVORS FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS

ith at least 1 in 4 women experiencing domestic violence in their lifetime, it is safe to say that most people know someone who has experienced such abuse, whether it is themselves, a family member, coworker or neighbor. Often times when people think about domestic violence, they think of black eyes and bruises; however, domestic violence does not always come with physical proof and rarely enters a new relationship full blown. Controlling and abusive behaviors don’t always appear overnight, but rather can emerge and intensify as the relationship grows.

There’s not a “type” of person out there that domestic violence prefers; it can happen to anyone. Rich, poor, highly-educated or high-risk, anyone can become a victim. Abuse, whether physical or psychological, is a repetitive pattern of behaviors that are designed to maintain power and control.

Abusers don’t “play fair,” they use fear, guilt, shame, intimidation and even economic repercussions to maintain control. Over time, these behaviors can change the victim into someone they no longer recognize.

For more than 35 years Faith House has been providing a safe haven for women and children affected by domestic violence. To date, over 60,000 women and children have sought support and refuge through the shelter and its programs.

Regardless of their economic background, most victims of domestic violence come to the shelter with little more than the clothes on their back. Although safety is the number one priority, the shelter must be prepared to provide everything from a 24 hour crisis line, counseling, food, clothing, medical treatment, and legal assistance. Typical stays at Faith House range from a single overnight stay up to sixty days.

FAITH HOUSE SERVICES INCLUDE: 24 Hour Crisis Line- 1-888-411-1333 Safety planning and lethality assessment Emergency Shelter Transitional and Permanent Supportive Housing Domestic Violence Counseling Legal assistance Educational Programs Children Services 14 FACE | July 2017

To date, over 60,000 women and children have sought support and refuge through the shelter and its programs.

Faith House services are provided not only to those in need of shelter but to any and every one. Non-residential services are provided through our Family Justice Center in Acadiana and Central Louisiana and Outreach offices in Avoyelles and Vermilion parishes.

Most people don’t realize that the majority of individuals coming to Faith House are children. The center has an excellent children’s program that provides counseling and activities to help the children through a very difficult time. Across Acadiana, Faith House reaches an additional five thousand individuals annually through educational programs, presentations, and advocacy services.

Funding Faith House is always a challenge especially with donations being down more than 50% this year. State and federal grants help the center but many times the funds arrive late or are reduced before they arrive.

Support from the community is crucial to help bridge the gap in funding.

Financial and in-kind goods donations fuel Faith House and provide support to survivors. Your help, no matter how small or large helps plant the seeds to, in turn, help someone make a new start.

Community Fundraisers – Host an event or promotion to benefit Faith House Online Donation – Make a one time or recurring donation In-Kind Donation – Cleaning supplies, paper products, gently used items Memorials – Make a donation in Memory or in Honor of a loved one Planned Giving – Include Faith House in your Estate Planning Amazon Smiles – Donate to Faith House while shopping online at Amazon For more information about Faith House, domestic violence or how to help, please visit the website at www.faithhouseacadiana.com.

Celebrates

60th Anniversary

Ramsey Copeland and three revered advisors, these Charter Members established the Service League of Lafayette and became officially incorporated in September of 1957. The first year saw a membership of 48. By 1958, Service League members, clad in signature pale yellow dresses, began pursuing their goal by coupling hands-on volunteerism with creative fundraising. This two-fold formula became a hallmark of the organization.

After its inception, the Service League pursued admittance to the National Association of Junior Leagues and received an official invitation, via Western Union telegram, to join in 1974. The Junior League of Lafayette, Inc. was officially born.

Over these 60 years, Junior League of Lafayette has provided countless trained volunteer hours for community service in areas of local need, including child health and development, education, substance abuse prevention, teens/juvenile justice, volunteerism and the arts. Through cookbook sales and fundraising efforts, Junior League of Lafayette has given back more than 3 million to the Lafayette area to support the Mission of helping women and children in the community.

Rethinking

Home consider evaluate compromise edit

Do you need to give yourself permission to express a side of yourself you have never exhibited or even explored ?

– TAKING

THE OPPORTUNITY TO START WITH NEW EYES. It’s okay to give yourself permission to take a chance.

Manifesting yourself in the objects and space of your life is an ongoing process. Whether it is looking at your current home and how it supports you or looking for a new place to resurrect yourself in a new life, the process is the same: consider, evaluate, compromise, edit. In the end, your home needs to work for you and to be beautiful in your own eyes. It can also help you recreate yourself after a shift in your life pattern.

What attribute of yourself do you see in the space you inhabit? Do you need to give yourself permission to express a side of yourself you have never exhibited or even explored? Make lists: Pros, Cons, Pluses, Minuses, whatever works for you. In my recent decision to relocate, the place I am moving to had 2 pages of pluses while my current home had maybe half a page, but that

Work with what you love. Ever wonder where to start when designing a room? How about following architect and designer Josef Frank’s “accidentism” philosophy? Simply choose what you love and the rest will fit in around it. In 1958, Frank wrote in Form magazine that “a home does not need to be planned down to the smallest detail or contrived; it should be an amalgamation of the things that the owner loves and feels at home with.”

Making a move, whether to new digs or when in the process of reappraising your existing home, is a challenge on many levels and has been written about in considerable depth. It is no longer listed as one of the top 10 stressors in life; we’ve got other problems to worry about, and yet it takes its toll — so getting the best help you can afford may be the best thing you can do to help, no matter where you are in the process. And really, all of our life decisions are part of the process aren’t they?

Consider who you are now and look honestly at whether or not it is who you want to continue to be for the next chapter of your life. Does your current home support the current you or the new you? And if you need help, hiring a designer or organizational facilitator will make the transition easier and help lower the stress level of everyone involved. Most are available on an hourly basis and have the organizational know-how to help you sort out the STUFF that surrounds you.

half a page was significant – safety, beauty, community: items which to me were close to being more important than any ease of living. A professional Realtor can also help point you in the right direction when you find someone you can trust, someone who listens to you and asks the questions that really make a difference in making a life changing decision, and someone who, frankly, has an excellent reputation and references.

By Savannah Ludwig WOOD PALLETS ARE AMAZING. They have almost unlimited potential. They’re durable and are extremely affordable — if not free, which is why they’ve become so popular for Do It Yourself (DIY) projects over the past few years.

Pallets can be used whole or broken down into individual boards. Single boards are great for craft projects and building materials. Wood from older pallets can have a beautiful weathered patina that is hard to mimic. Newer pallets are great to stain or paint.

Planter

Finding pallets to use for your projects is not very hard if you know where to look.

Most locally owned retail and grocery stores have stacks of them. I recommend going to a store that you frequent and simply asking the manager if they have any used pallets that you can have for a craft project. Some stores will just give them to you and some will charge you around $5 for a good clean pallet.

HOME OWNERSHIP | Why Do I Need An Appraisal?

MY CREDIT IS GOOD, WHY DO I NEED AN APPRAISAL TO BUY A HOUSE? Unless you’re Paying Cash, your mortgage lender will require an appraisal on the property.

WHAT IS AN APPRAISAL? Simply stated, an appraisal is a written estimate of a property’s true (or fair market) value. The appraisal is based on a market analysis of recent sales prices for similar properties in the area. Property appraisals are performed by state licensed appraisers who are considered to be an objective third party to a real estate transaction. Appraisers are highly trained professionals. In Louisiana, they must be licensed by the LA Real Estate Appraisers Board, and are bound by law to fairly, objectively, and without bias determine the value of a property. To become a licensed appraiser, an applicant must go through rigorous training, pass numerous tests, and receive several years of on-thejob experience. Once licensed, appraisers must participate in annual continuing education courses to stay current with state regulations.

When performing an appraisal, the appraiser will use three standard approaches to properly determine the true market value of a property.

THE COST APPROACH – an estimate of what it would cost to replace or reproduce the improvements. This cost is added to the land value to determine the value of the property.

THE COMPARISON APPROACH – looks at properties of similar size, quality, and location that have recently sold. This is the most commonly used approach by the appraiser as a way of comparing apples to apples, as the saying goes.

THE INCOME APPROACH – this approach is used more in the commercial world and not typically used in the residential world.

This income approach estimates the property’s value based upon the net income the property may produce.

26 FACE | July 2017

WHAT DO APPRAISER’S LOOK AT WHEN EVALUATING THEIR OPINION OR ESTIMATE OF VALUE? During the inspection of the property, the appraiser measures the house to determine square footage. Features of the house are noted; such as room layout, number of bedrooms and baths, carport or garage, etc. The property’s lot size, location, and view are taken into consideration when estimating value. The overall condition of the property is evaluated on a scale from 1 to 6, with 1 being recently constructed to 6 being damaged or deferred maintenance needed. Any special amenities are noted; such as fireplace(s) or architectural features. Improvements such as new flooring, renovated bathroom or kitchen, new appliances, or a new HVAC system — all of these are considered in determining overall value.

An appraisal is but one part of the mortgage loan process. The appraisal is a safeguard put in place to protect the buyer by making sure the collateral is equal to or greater than the amount of financing provided.

T

he heat and humidity in South Louisiana is definitely one of a kind. We all know that. As a woman, it’s hard to look our best when our hair resembles what would happen

if we put our finger in an electrical socket. Or, what about the second we walk outside after putting on a face of makeup and that giant heat wave instantly melts all of your foundation off? This sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Well, no need to fret because I’ve provided a few tips that can help you out when you want to get your glam on this summer!

USE A WAX BASED CONCEALER AND FOUNDATION When picking out a concealer and foundation during your next trip to the beauty store, look for products that are wax based. The wax formulation is a little different than what most of us are used to, but I can assure you that it is awesome! The great thing about a waxy foundation is that it has little to no added oils, resulting in more of a matte finish rather than a sweaty and greasy finish on a hot summer day! I know what you’re thinking — wax based makeup? Won’t that melt off? Good question. The answer is no, it will not. Being that there are a very small amount of oils in this type of makeup, the formulation sits on top of the skin, rather than sinking down into your pores. This results in longer lasting makeup and the best part is that it will not clog your pores!

PRIME PRIME PRIME Always prime your skin before applying your makeup.

This will create a clean canvas for your makeup to go onto. It will also help with the longevity of your look.

If you are using a wax based concealer and foundation, stay away from silicone primers. Silicone and wax do not mix well. I compare them to Oil and Vinegar. I always recommend a water-based priming spray with wax based makeup!

LESS IS MORE I have always been a huge believer in the less is more approach when it comes to applying makeup. Summertime is the perfect season to embrace your natural beauty by only accentuating your most beautiful facial features. Our skin tends to be a little more golden during these sunny months, so we don’t need to cake on the dark makeup! Instead, try using a tinted moisturizer if you’re not interested in wearing a full coverage face of makeup. You can always add concealer to any problem areas such as breakouts, redness, and dark under eye circles.

CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT Use a medium-brown pigmented bronzer to define your jawline, cheekbones, the sides of your nose, and temporal area that appears to protrude right above your temples. This will create more definition and can give you the appearance of a more structured and angular face. Highlight with a light shimmery bronzer or a specific highlighting pen to accentuate the areas that you want to showcase.

These areas of your face typically include the middle of your nose, the tops of your cheekbones, Glabella (the area right above and between your eyebrows) and your Cupid’s Bow (the cute little dip in the middle of your upper lip.)

Tricks

SET YOUR MAKEUP! Setting your makeup is a step that a lot of people don’t even know about! Use a translucent powder and lightly dab onto your foundation, concealer, and/ or tinted moisturizer. Not only will this help your makeup last longer, but it will also eliminate shine. Being that the powder has zero pigment in it, you can periodically apply it throughout the day without having to worry about looking orange or too dark! Another helpful setting product is a setting spray. I highly recommend using a spray that is light weight and fragrance free. Many people are allergic to scented makeup, so stay away from setting sprays that smell good, just to be careful.

Look for “unscented” or “fragrance free!”

HAIR BALM IS KEY Apply a small amount of Straightening Hair Balm to your mane if you happen to be the Frizz Queen of the world. This will protect your hair from the heat that the sun puts off and will help maintain straight hair during these ridiculously humid summer months.

DRY YOUR HAIR I’m actually one of those who does not dry my hair. I sleep on it wet, every single night mainly because I just don’t feel like whipping out the hot tools at night after my shower. I do, however dry my hair if I wash it during the day. If your hair is even the slightest bit damp when you walk outside in the humidity, POOOOFFFF there it goes. At that point, you must embrace the frizz because there’s not much you can do about it. Always make sure that your hair is thoroughly dry before you step out your front door. Try using a diffuser to help smooth the frizz if you tend to be on the curly side.

Cheers to TWENTY YEARS of BBR Creative STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE. A Blonde, a Brunette and a Redhead start a small, boutique advertising agency–and grow into a marketing force to be reckoned with on regional and national scales. BBR Creative started as a dream among four friends, and has since grown into a dream place of employment for a new class of advertising professionals in Acadiana. How’d they get started? Like many things in South Louisiana do: With drinks, friends and conversation.

FAMILY MATTERS

Trying new FOODS DO ANY OF THE STATEMENTS BELOW REMIND YOU OF YOUR CHILD? “Amara will only eat peanut butter sandwiches!”

“Michael won’t eat anything green, just because of the color.”

“Bananas used to be Matt’s favorite food.

Now he won’t even touch them!”

Your child may eat only a certain type of food or refuse foods based on a certain color or texture.

They may also play at the table and may not want to eat. Don’t worry if your child is a picky eater.

Picky eating behavior is common for many children from the age of 2 to 5 years. As long as your child has plenty of energy and is growing, he or she is most likely eating enough to be healthy. If you have concerns about your child’s growth or eating behavior, talk to your child’s doctor.

HOW TO COPE WITH PICKY EATING Your child’s picky eating is temporary. If you don’t make it a big deal, it will usually end before school age. Try the following tips to help you deal with your child’s picky eating behavior in a positive way. Check the ones that work for you and your child.

Involve kids in picking the produce.

LET YOUR KIDS BE “PRODUCE PICKERS.” Let them pick out fruits and veggies at the store.

HAVE YOUR CHILD HELP YOU PREPARE MEALS. Children learn about food and get excited about tasting food when they help make meals. Let them add ingredients, scrub veggies, or help stir food.

OFFER CHOICES. Rather than ask, “Do you want broccoli for dinner?” ask “Which would you like for dinner, broccoli or cauliflower?”

Prepare meals together.

ENJOY EACH OTHER WHILE EATING FAMILY MEALS together. Talk about fun and happy things. If meals are times for family arguments, your child may learn unhealthy attitudes toward food.

OFFER THE SAME FOODS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. Don’t be a “short-order cook,” making a different meal for your child. Your child will be okay even if he or she does not eat a meal now and then.

TRYING NEW FOODS Your child may not want to try new foods. It is normal for children to reject foods they have never tried before. Here are some tips to get your child to try new foods: SMALL PORTIONS, BIG BENEFITS. Let your kids try small portions of new foods that you enjoy. Give them a small taste at first and be patient with them. When they develop a taste for more types of foods, it’s easier to plan family meals.

“They learn from watching you. Eat fruits and vegetables and your child will too.”

SOMETIMES, NEW FOODS TAKE TIME. Kids don’t always take to new foods right away.

Offer new foods many times. It may take up to a dozen tries for a child to accept a new food.

“Let them learn by serving themselves. Teach them to take small amounts at first. Tell them they can get more if they are still hungry.”

MAKE FOOD FUN!

It is normal for children to reject foods they have never tried before.

OFFER ONLY ONE NEW FOOD AT A TIME. Serve something that you know your child likes along with the new food. Offering more new foods all at once could be too much for your child.

BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL. Try new foods yourself. Describe their taste, texture, and smell to your child.

OFFER NEW FOODS FIRST. Your child is most hungry at the start of a meal.

Help your child develop healthy eating habits by getting them involved and making food fun! Get creative in the kitchen with these cool ideas. Check the ones you try at home, and be sure to add your own ideas, too!

CUT A FOOD INTO FUN AND EASY SHAPES WITH COOKIE CUTTERS. ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO INVENT AND HELP PREPARE NEW SNACKS. Create new tastes by pairing low-fat dressings or dips with vegetables. Try hummus or salsa as a dip for veggies.

NAME A FOOD YOUR CHILD HELPS CREATE. Make a big deal of serving “Maria’s Salad” or “Peter’s Sweet Potatoes” for dinner.

OUR FAMILY IDEAS TO MAKE FOOD FUN:

“Make meals and memories together It’s a lesson they’ll use for life.”

eciprocity is a personal response to a perceived act of kindness or unkindness. It involves both giving and receiving, helping and being helped.

In other words, if someone does something that is either beneficial or hurtful to you, you then can choose to return a similar kind or unkind response to him or her.

In loving relationships, reciprocity can be really positive or extremely destructive.

Reciprocity is present in relationships when the contribution of each person meets the expectations of the other person. Where there is no reciprocity, there is no relationship. It is important that reciprocity be a part of all relationships whether they are personal, professional or intimate. It is the key ingredient to relational health. In this article we will be focusing on the more intimate and marriage type of relationships.

There are many areas in marriage where reciprocity is really important and is the foundation for a happy, healthy marriage.

INITIATE POSITIVE CONNECTIONS on an ongoing basis in your relationship by Doing something meaningful for your partner.

Giving something meaningful to your partner.

Remembering that this is something personally from you and is of value to your partner.

Being empathetic towards your partner.

RECIPROCAL ATTITUDE: Expectations about behavior of others “If I do something that is beneficial for someone else, then I expect that person to return a favor”. This is not about keeping score. It’s about each person doing their part in building and sustaining a healthy and happy relationship.

HURTFUL BEHAVIOR often invites anger and motivates negative reciprocity such as

LET’S LOOK AT AND EVALUATE YOUR POSITIVE RECIPROCITY If your spouse does you a favor do you repay them in some way?

If your spouse does something kind for you, do you do something kind for them?

If your spouse gives you a gift, do you respond with gratefulness?

When your spouse does something for you, do you think about what you have done for them?

If your spouse says something pleasant to you, do you say something pleasant back?

When healthy reciprocity is absent, we miss it and we crave it. Healthy reciprocity leads to higher levels of intimacy in the relationship.

Remember that all relationships are reciprocal and that the degree to which healthy reciprocity is manifested in the relationship represents the depth of bond and the level of love in the relationship. Let’s all work to make positive reciprocity more of the norm in our relationships.

HEALTHY RECIPROCITY EXAMPLE Doing things together is always good.

You withhold love and affection from your spouse then they do the same to you.

My wife cooks dinner and I clean up after dinner.

You say something hurtful then they say something hurtful back.

My wife takes care of the inside of the house and I do the yard work.

You treat your spouse badly then they will try to treat you even worse.

If your spouse treats you badly then you treat him/her badly in return.

If your spouse has contempt for you then contempt is returned.

I take care of the children while my wife does laundry.

We both make a point of initiating nonsexual and sexual intimacy at different times.

When your spouse hurts you, you find a way to get even.

When your spouse distrusts you then you will respond with distrust.

People who are negatively reciprocal usually are less willing to trust. They are the people who are most upset by having their trust violated. This becomes a negative, toxic and unhealthy cycle that many couples become stuck in.

FASHION

How do you pick a pair of sunnies that will give you that cool and fabulous persona we all want and love?

TIPS FOR SELECTING YOUR NEXT PAIR OF SUNNIES

MADE IN THE

here’s something about putting on a pair of sunnies that brings out

T

one’s “alter ego”. Maybe it’s because behind the dark lens you’re suddenly incognito and can take on the person of a Hollywood celebrity, supermodel or rockstar. Truth be told, there’s a certain

mystique and boost of confidence one gets when wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Whatever the case, sunglasses are the number one summer fashion accessory that is perfect for any age and gender.

Not only are sunglasses a haute fashion addition to any summer look but also are an investment in your health. Sunglasses protect you from the sun’s UV radiation, which can cause cataracts and from long term exposure to the blue and purple portion of the solar spectrum, lowering your risk for macular degeneration. They also help maintain comfortable vision by protecting your eyes from the sun’s brightness and glare. This prevents squinting, which causes fine lines around the eyes and helps your eyes maintain the ability to adapt quickly to changing light levels. Sunglasses protect your eyes from dust, particles and debris all while enhancing your personal style.

FACE SHAPE – Determine your face shape. It’s a simple equation of proportion.

The five primary face shapes are: oval, round, square, heart, triangle and diamond. Grab a mirror and study your face proportion to determine your shape.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT – The frame shape should contrast the shape of your face. This creates and maintains a balanced look. For example, if your face is round, pick an angular, narrow frame that is wider than is deep in order to add length to the face.

SIZE MATTERS – Scale your sunnies to your face although, when it comes to sunglasses bigger is better because it is more protection. At the same time, you want to scale your sunnies to your face. The goal is to achieve an overall balanced look. For example, a petite face with delicate lines should avoid oversized frames, this will only dwarf the face. However, you still want to make sure your frames are in proportion with the rest of your face.

COMFORT ZONE – Don’t be afraid to wear the sunglasses for 10-15 minutes to measure the comfort level. How does it fit on the bridge of your nose? Is it a snug fit? Slide down?

Too tight? Behind the ears? Are your eyes looking through the center of the lens?

COLOR TONE – There are a wide array of lens colors to choose from. Dark, amber, mirrored, and polarized lens are only a few options available. Remember, the lens color you select affects how well you differentiate color and detect contrast.

FREEZE FRAME – Choose a frame color that compliments your skin tone and features.

Cool skin tones have pink or blue undertones.

Warm skin tones have a yellow cast.

PROTECT YOURSELF– Provides an important defense against ultraviolet rays while protecting the eyes from the sun brightness and glare. Make sure your sunnies have 100% UV protection.

BUSINESS & CAREER

DISConnecting

WORK Relationships D – Dominant: This is an assertive, ambitious, driving, strong-willed, decisive and fast-paced leader who is often the one in charge in work or personal relationships. Quick to make decisions, they often don’t have the patience to listen. Their motto is: “My way or the highway!” and this puts other personality types at a disadvantage. Navigate this personality type by: Speaking quickly, listening quickly, and not letting your feathers get ruffled.

Dominant personalities are all business, so they think that what they’re communicating is not personal. While the rest of us know it is, humor them by not letting any negative comments get to you. If shooting at a moving target, the D formula is: Ready, FIRE, Aim!

Have you ever wanted a magic formula to help decipher the dynamics of your office environment? How about your family environment? Included in this month’s edition are the four major personality types.

Where do you fit in? How about your supervisor? How about your spouse? What about your kids? How does that annoying neighbor fit in? Read on to uncover the hidden secrets of navigating and communicating effectively for masterful DISConnecting!

I – Influential: This is a warm, enthusiastic, sociable, charming, persuasive and fastpaced individual who is extremely people-oriented and talkative. Matter of fact, they are quite “tangential” in that they often get off point (on a tangent) and require some reigning in. You’ll have to have patience with the Influential personality, because they’ll talk your ear off … The upside is that they’re amazing with people and can generally deliver quick and effective solutions to your problems. Be ready for a long and eventful ride when engaging with I’s. If shooting at a moving target, the I formula is: Ready, Aim, TALK!

S – Steady: This is a much slower-paced customer service-oriented person who is in it to serve others. Personality signs include: patient, stable, predictable, consistent, and great listener. Their “what can I do for you?” motto often leaves them empty with selfpreservation. If this is you, remember to put yourself in the equation of happiness. S is for steady — not for Superman/woman! If you want a job done or someone who will take care of details in an eager and friendly manner, the S personality will personally get it handled for you. If shooting at a moving target, the S formula is: Ready, Aim, What Can I Do For You?!

C – Conscientious: This detailed, careful, meticulous, systematic and neat personality is also a slower-paced, methodical thinker who hesitates to move forward until every detail is perfect. Accountants, Attorneys, and Engineers usually fall into this category because of their methodical thought process. Task-oriented rather than people-oriented, they are the go-to peeps for any project that needs to be done precisely. Don’t expect quick decisions, but rest assured that the end result will be close to perfection. If shooting at a moving target, the C formula is: Ready, Aim, Move 2 degrees left, Aim, Move ½ degree right, Aim …!≥

RECAP: D & C are better with tasks while I & S are better with people. D & I move at a quicker pace, while S & C are slower paced. Once you master this quick and easy formula, you can probably figure out where you fit in … and then you can see how to connect with other personalities in a winning way.
