About the Event

Do you find that sometimes the message you send doesn’t seem to be the one that was received? Or are there times when you think you’ve understood someone and later learn that you haven’t? We can help you to communicate better by understanding the personalities of yourself and others and how personality diversity affects communication, and show you how you can choose a communication style for any situation that takes into account the personalities of those involved.

In this one-hour dialogue session, we’ll provide an introduction to Equilibria’s proprietary personality awareness and management tools, the E-Colors and Personal Intervention, and Intentional Communication model.  Then we’ll show how you can apply these tools to improve your understanding of yourself and others and improve communication.

We’ll first provide an introduction to Equilibria’s E-Colors system, which groups the different aspects in everyone’s personality into four colours – Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. You’ll learn the fundamentals of what each for the four E-Colors represents about your or someone else’s personality. You’ll also learn how the respective amounts of each E-Color, represented as percentages in a pie graph, describe your and others’ unique personalities.

We’ll then provide an introduction to Equilibria’s Personal Intervention tool, which will show you how to manage your personality that you’ve gained greater awareness of through the E-Colors. You will learn the basics of this system so that, instead of reacting to events, you can more consciously respond to them, achieving better outcomes.

Finally, we’ll provide an introduction to Equilibria’s Intentional Communication model, which shows you to consciously choose the right type of communication style – telling, asking, directing, involving and the like, for every situation.
