Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally - David Frost
I have often pondered on the question of what it is that makes us unique, what makes one person successful at something and another not?
Eleanor Roosevelt said - What if ... Somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision? I believe that if we could make this alignment, it would be this that made the difference, between one person and another.
What's your N-Code™ - Your Behavioural DNA?
Awareness of your N-Code™ can enable this alignment and allow you to live with your decision. Furthermore this knowledge can then be leveraged to increase your performance and success. Discovery of your N-Code™ enables you to fully integrate what you do with who you are to control your hidden abilities in a direct and powerful way. You will be able to communicate more effectively, that will allow you to notice real tangible results in the things that you do.
N-Code™ is about becoming conscious of that which is currently unconsious and then using those insights to achieve bigger and better things. Discovery of your N-Code™ - your Behavioural DNA, builds on Covey's work 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, especially Sharpening the Saw, and can become the bridge between effectiveness and greatness that Covey is leading us towards.
My N-Code™ is Seeing Truth. This means that I have hyper insight into people and problems. I can quickly see to the heart of the matter and can enable conflicts to be resolved quickly and creative solutions to be sought in all types of problems. I apply this skill within my personal and professional life.
My professional speciality is working with Troublesome Talent™. I certainly find knowledge of my Behavioural DNA invaluable because I now unconsciously apply it to my passion of developing leaders and creating innovative Talent Management techniques to create increased performance for my clients.
Integration of your Behavioural DNA can have a profound affect on your personal and professional life.

How does N-Code™ relate to Leadership?
Leadership is about flexibility, how you flex your style to achieve the best results from and for your team. It is also about how you manage yoursellf, in all situations. It is important that leaders truly understand what their key innate skills are and the best way to use them to achieve maximum results. This is how knowledge of your N-Code™ can be invaluable.
If you can ensure that everything you do is aligned to your Behavioural DNA then you will be more successful in your endeavours and your performance will improve. Most leaders struggle, from time to time, to balance the time they have available over the things that they feel they must achieve.
Integration of your N-Code™ enables you to decide instantly whether what you are doing or about to do will be successful, or increase your performance. It enables you to be more aware of what works or doesn't work on an accelerated basis.
Large corparations and smaller businesses have learnt how to use their leaders' N-Codes™ to enable their teams to radically increase their performance and become more successful. One strategic team within a FTSE 100 company described how they used their N-Codes™:
Knowing our N-Codes™ allowed us to immediately split up the project and delegate tasks in the most efficient way. Instead of spending hours discussing the best course of action it was instantly clear who was the best person for each section of the task, allowing us more time to actually get the job done.
Leadership is about being able to focus on the results that need to be achieved and not the tasks that need to be done.
