PPP 016: How Do Your Behaviours Affect Others… and You? Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

The Four Temperaments. Almost sounds like a popular Motown group from the 60’s doesn’t it? It’s a actually a proto-psychological theory the Greek physician Hippocrates to describe personality types.

Melancholic personalities are precise, conscientious, and cautious. They make good surgeons.

Phlegmatic personalities are steady and supportive. Calm and unflappable in a crisis

Sanguine personalities are influential and inspiring. They bring personality to the table.

And Choleric personalities are the people who make things happen. Leaders. Sometimes very dominant.

In this episode Kate looks at the four Temperaments and describes how sometimes they can even overlap,

PPP 012: Coaching or Advice, Be Careful What You’re Saying! Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

It’s a landmine. A language landmine.
We're talking about the difference between advice and coaching. For example, how many times have you said or heard these words… “I don’t want your advice, but I sure could use some coaching.” Or visa versa. You can see the two just aren’t the same.
In this episode, Kate helps us navigate through the subtle, but strategic differences between offering coaching and giving advice. She explores the impact of identifying what advice or coaching sounds like and how to effectively leverage one or the other.

PPP 011: The Importance of Personality Types in Sales Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

We are all in Sales. Whether your job requires you to sell goods or services or if your sales strategies are focused on selling ideas – we are all salespeople at different points in each day.

The key to sales of course is knowing the needs of the person(s) you’re selling to, knowing your good, service, or idea, and making them match.

Knowing the different personality types and their preferences through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can make a world of difference in our success rate.

In this episode Kate walks us through how to use the MBTI to make sure our ideas are clearly understood in someone’s preferred style of thinking, and she talks with Catherine Plumb who works as an Interior Designer. She shares her approach to selling ideas to her clients and how the MBTI makes all the difference.
