The Platinum Rule is to treat others the way they want to be treated!  
We all need to be able to adapt our styles to make others feel comfortable.  How exactly do you adapt?  How do you become flexible?  
Following a workshop people are so excited about what they learned, they talk about how it applied to them and how it helped them understand other people.  In an instant they immediately forget everything they just learned and reverted to their ‘natural’ style.  

Here are three simple steps to becoming artful in interacting with the different behavioral styles so you can be more adaptable:
1)  Set a Goal:  Set a goal or something to strive towards.  For instance, to be a better listener, take more initiative, or be positive.
2)  Be aware:  Create a reminder so you remember to work on this skill.  When teaching the GEMS workshop the carry case is blue to remind me to have my delivery as a Sapphire!
3)  Practice:  Continually search for opportunities to practice this skill.  The more consistent you are in doing this, the easier it will become.  Take advantage of the hundreds of chances a day you have to hone this skill!
