About the Event

In this one-hour dialogue session, you will learn the basics of Equilibria’s proprietary personality diversity awareness and management systems, which will help you to better understand the diverse personalities of yourself and others, and to manage your personality tendencies to improve accountability, within your group, among your teammates and also to yourself.

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 of 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 view of accountability, by which you can use your knowledge of your own and other’s personalities to achieve greater accountability, within your group, among your teammates and also to yourself. We’ll look at the importance of peer-to-peer accountability as opposed to accountability only to the leader. We’ll also consider the four accountability Factors and see how we can use them to enhance accountability and make it a more effective tool for achieving higher performance.

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.
