Merrick Rosenberg

Keynote Speaker: Personality Education & Workplace Culture Innovator

Merrick Rosenberg Biography

Merrick Rosenberg is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and leading authority on how personality shapes behavior and drives success. He co-founded Team Builders Plus in 1991 and later launched Take Flight Learning in 2012 to revolutionize personality training. A recognized expert in the DISC personality system, Rosenberg introduced a fresh and memorable approach by reimagining the traditional styles as four birds—the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl—in his award-winning book "Taking Flight!", transforming the way people understand themselves and others.

With a background in Organizational Development and early experience as a management consultant, Rosenberg saw firsthand how personality dynamics impact team performance. His innovative blend of team building and personality training has since reached hundreds of thousands globally. Through Take Flight Learning, he certifies trainers worldwide and partners with nearly two-thirds of Fortune 100 companies, including GE, Comcast, Pepsi, Johnson & Johnson, and Ford, as well as numerous government agencies and military branches.

He is also the author of "The Chameleon," "Personality Wins", and "Which Bird Are You?", and continues to write, speak, and lead efforts to foster self-awareness, strong relationships, and engaging workplace cultures.

The Personality of Success

Merrick Rosenberg guides audience members to discover the most interesting topic of all – themselves! Using his reimagined version of how people learn about personality, Merrick teaches people how to tap into the power of their personality to build stronger relationships and get results. In Merrick’s relatable way of linking who we are to Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls, you will see yourself in his stories. This often humorous and always insightful talk will teach you how to instantly read and connect with others. Instead of reflexively imposing your personality on the people in your life, you will gain the skills to anticipate what people needs and adapt with chameleon-like flexibility. From the insights gained in this talk, you will become a stronger communicator, a more impactful team member, and a better leader.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover why we click with some and clank with others
  • Learn how to communicate with and influence anyone in any situation
  • Reveal the key ingredients to creating an engaging, innovative and productive work environment
  • Gain the emotional intelligence to tap into your core strengths rather than overuse them and turn them into weaknesses
  • Learn how to harness the power of diverse styles to build a strong and connected team

Creating Culture with Personality

Organizations spend time, money, and energy on an array of behavioral assessments and training. But does it make a difference? Discover why these sessions get rave reviews, yet overwhelmingly fail to create a lasting impact. You will learn how to infuse personality into your culture and transform the way people work together and lead others.

From meaningless alphabet soup to the training methodology itself, we will deconstruct today’s current model and reinvent a new one for the future. Instead of styles and types that reside in short-term memory and create only momentary ahas!, this session reveals a brain-friendly approach to rewire your employees so the styles trigger at the exact moment they are needed. Reimagine how you can drive engagement with personality.

Key Takeaways:

  • Bridge the gap between personality assessment and culture change
  • Turn self-awareness into long-term application, not short-term fascination
  • Utilize the personality styles as a catalyst for cultural revolution
  • Unleash a new way to create an attractive culture that inspires commitment and inclusiveness
  • Heighten organizational emotional intelligence

Leading with Personality

Your personality either drives your effectiveness or steers you off-track. If you’re like most people, it’s a little of both. You’ll explore whether you create an environment in which only someone with your personality thrives or one in which each of your team members feels valued, respected, and engaged. Do you communicate in your style, or do you meet the needs of your people? Do you give feedback in the way you’d like to hear it, or do you deliver it in the way your team members need to hear it?

You will develop chameleon-like flexibility to motivate your people by unleashing each team member’s natural gifts. You will learn how to adapt to your people instead of making them flex to you. This session will help you become a leader that people will follow anywhere.

Key Takeaways:

  • Reimagine leadership as an adaptive process that engages every team member
  • Create an enduring culture that grows committed and effective teams
  • Advance core leadership skills, such as communication, vision, delegating work, and providing feedback
  • Improve results by tapping into the power of your innate personality
  • Create a career trajectory based not only on what you do, but also who you are

Personality as a Sales Advantage

Sales are won and lost for a variety of reasons, but few sales professionals are self-aware enough to realize that their own Sales are lost every day—not because of bad pitches, but because sales professionals overlook the most powerful tool at their disposal: their own personality. Many have studied personality models like DISC, yet they struggle to apply them in real-time sales interactions. In this insightful interview with Merrick Rosenberg, a leading expert on personality-driven success, you’ll discover how to harness the power of personality to build deep connections, win more deals, and elevate your sales game. From making a lasting first impression to closing and beyond, you’ll learn how to transform personality into your ultimate competitive edge.

Key Takeaways:

  • Transform every stage of the sales process by effortlessly connecting with any prospect.
  • Discover hidden ways your selling style may be holding you back—and how to turn it into an advantage.
  • Build deeper connections with customers to foster loyalty and drive more sales.
  • Unlock the full potential of your personality to excel in team selling, adapt to diverse buying styles, and align with a company’s culture.
  • Refresh your strategy to win over even the toughest prospects.
