Episode Summary:

This episode of "Express Your Wonders" with host Bronwyn Corkery features a deep dive into the intricacies of personality traits in the workplace and beyond. Rocco Ricci returns to shed light on the ways these traits influence our interactions and offers strategies for harmonious collaboration despite differences. Bronwyn begins by sharing her engagement with Rocco's philosophy and how she's discovered her own personality style to be predominantly 'blue'.
