215: How Can You Navigate Different Personality Types At Work with Ronan Gallagher


Listen Later

In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I had an insightful conversation with Ronan Gallagher, a seasoned lawyer turned people trainer, and author. Ronan shared different perspectives on personality types, emotional intelligence, and their impact on workplace dynamics. 

Ronan discussed the challenges of applying a single right way approach to dealing with people, emphasising that individuals are complex and not black and white. He shed light on the "performer" and "boss" personality types, exploring the impact of childhood experiences on these traits.

We also talked about Enneagram personality types, and Ronan emphasised the importance of understanding oneself and recognising clashes between different types in a team setting. Ronan's insights highlighted how raising awareness and understanding of these styles can help resolve conflicts and improve team dynamics.

Ronan delved into the subconscious mind's influence on behavior, revealing that our personalities are mostly formed in the first seven years of life. He emphasised the impact of subconscious programming on behaviors and beliefs, underlining the need for empathy and understanding in the workplace.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

  • The challenges of applying a single right way approach to dealing with people.
  • The importance of understanding oneself and recognising clashes between different types in a team setting.
  • The impact of subconscious programming on behaviors and beliefs, and the need for empathy and understanding in the workplace.
  • The challenges of leaving established careers for more fulfilling work and the impact of subconscious triggers on interactions with others.
  • The importance of recognising and processing feelings of shame about one's personality type as a natural part of growth.
