Happiness is a new pair of wellies. My old pair, which have been my outdoor winter footwear of choice for the past 5 years, sprung a leak a couple of weeks ago, leading to wet cold feet.

A new pair was required and it made me think about the purchasing decision and how Personality affects how we buy things. Personal purchases are a little different to business purchases, as there is more heart involved, but a lot of the same principles hold:

πŸ”΅ My Blue energy approach started with making a list of the features that are important to me in wellies (long boots, warm, quality that will last) then researched which boots ticked all the boxes. I read reviews and finally decided on a pair. Then I checked several suppliers to compare prices before finally clicking the Buy button.

πŸ”΄ A Red energy approach would be much quicker. Review requirements, find some that fit the bill, quick comparison of price, purchase on next day delivery and go out for a walk.

🟑 Yellow energy purchasers will check out some exciting new possible solutions and may end up going for something completely new and different. Their search will not be limited to wellies, but other footwear that will look good on a dog walk. Then they will see a completely different pair of wellies looking good on social media and buy those.

🟒 Finally the Green welly purchaser will start by asking others for their opinions on the best wellies for the job. They will do their research will start with the brand that has done well for them in the past, lasted longest and the ones that come recommended by trusted friends. Reviews will influence the decision and the Green will seek confirmation that they have made the right decision before clicking Buy.

I’m pleased to report that my wellies have been on several dog walks and are now covered in mud, as all good wellies should be.

It's Burns' Night tonight so I'm sharing this great quote from "To a Louse" by Robert Burns. It's so true!

We don't always see ourselves clearly:
- We think we're being decisive. Others experience us as abrupt.
- We believe we're being thorough. Others feel we're slowing things down.
- We're trying to build harmony. Others think we're avoiding difficult conversations.

The gap between how we see ourselves and how others experience us causes countless workplace misunderstandings. This is where self-awareness becomes your competitive advantage.

Persona Personality Profiles help you understand your natural strengths and communication style - how YOU operate at your best.

360 Feedback shows you how others experience you - the impact you're actually having, not the impact you think you're having.

Together, they give you that "giftie" Burns wrote about: the ability to see yourself clearly, understand others better, and avoid those blunders that come from misalignment.

It's not about changing who you are. It's about understanding yourself and adapting intentionally.

How well do you really know how others experience you?

2026 Starts with Understanding

Many people start the new year by talking about New Year's resolutions - new habits, new routines, new you.

But here is what will actually transform you and your team this year: not changing who you are, BUT understanding who you already are. This is your opportunity to leverage your existing strengths to make 2026 a successful and productive year for you and your team.

That’s what our Persona workshops do; help individuals and teams identify their strengths and how to use them to maximise the brilliance that’s already there.

This explains so much about workplace conflict, doesn't it?

Two people attend the same meeting. One person leaves feeling energised and motivated. The other leaves feeling frustrated. The same meeting, experienced in completely different ways.

Here's why:
πŸ”΄ Team members with high Red energy saw an unproductive meeting that lacked decisions.
🟑 Yellow energy attendees saw all the creative possibilities emerging.
🟒 Green energy team members saw valuable time spent for everyone to be heard.
πŸ”΅ Attendees with high Blue energy saw a lack of preparation and data.

They are all seeing the meeting through different lenses. Their personalities shape what they notice, what they value and what frustrates each team member.

How do you run an effective team meeting when everyone sees things differently? Understanding personality means you can understand how your team members see the world and bridge these perception gaps.

What workplace situations do you and your team see differently?

A team communications workshop could help you all get on the same page.

Happy Friday everyone! This quote captures exactly why learning about personality is so helpful.

Effective communication isn't just about what you say - it's about how the other person receives it.

πŸ”΄ Your Red energy colleague wants the bottom line, fast.
πŸ”΅ Your Blue energy team member needs the details and logic.
🟑 Your Yellow energy partner responds to enthusiasm and vision.
🟒 Your Green energy employee values warmth and consideration.

Same message. Different delivery. Better connection.

Persona Personality Profiles help you understand HOW different personalities prefer to be communicated with - so you can adapt your style and actually be heard. The best communicators aren't those who speak well. They're those who connect well.

What's your biggest communication challenge at work?
