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

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

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

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.

PPP 004: Why Are You Driving Me Crazy? Nov 10, 2021

You’re practical, well, somewhat. Your partner is not, at least not as much as you’d like.
If opposites attract, why are you driving each other crazy and how is it you’re not able to connect when it comes to your thinking.
In this episode, host Kate Mason looks at Sensing and Intuition. Depending on which category you fall under, will also depend on how you view the world.

The question is, how do you ensure you’re in tune with the “other person’s views”, even though you may never really agree?

PPP 002: The Power of Perception to Improve our Relationships Oct 13, 2021

We perceive the world, and the people we know in it, in our own unique way. There are lots of social inputs such as our culture, our religion, our friends, what we engage with on social media, education, and our learned life biases.

The truth is we’re not always right. We know that. But understanding our own innate personality, as well as the personalities of those we engage with, can help us create harmony in the places we work and live.

In this episode, we look at the ways we communicate (beyond the words we use) and the ways we understand - and misunderstand - every moment of our lives.

PPP 001: The Egg Story Sep 09, 2021

Have you heard of it? The Egg Story?
It has nothing to do with the chicken or what came first. This story is about that powerful, impossible and life-changing emotion, we all call Love. And how that four-letter word...that feeling...that place...can scramble our thoughts, our behaviours...our everything.
In this debut episode of Personalities, Partners and Parenting, your podcast host and author Kate Mason takes you through the first moments of love and what we do when we’re in it. And then reminds us all, that true love doesn’t really begin until the “in-love” experience ends.
