  • Episode 7 - The Apple & Banana Partnership

    This is where we start getting our teeth into the Fruit partnerships starting. If you have Apple or Banana in either of your top two preferences, then this is for you and will help explain just why Apple gets frustrated when Banana thinks they're being so accommodating.

    If you don't know what Fruit preference you are and to put some context around this,  you can do a short taster quiz here and find out if you're an Apple, Mango, Lime or Banana.

    Remember:

    • no one can just be one Fruit – we are way too complicated. We may have a preference but unless we are really extreme we can work in all four quadrants
    • this is pop psychology so don’t get too stitched  up about it - it's mean to be fun
    • we talk in terms of extreme behaviour because it’s easier to remember those traits whether we’re looking at ourselves or others.

    Lucky you if you have a lovely Lime to keep you safe and the dishwasher stacked, just perfectly.

  • Episode 6 - Understanding our Fruit Blends

    Are you one the four natural blends or are you one of the two less common blends?  We tend to work in our top two Fruit personality preferences, particularly under pressure, and in this podcast we look at understanding how our own Fruit blends impact our relationships.

    It will become very clear that we are are certainly not boxed into just one Fruit type.

    By understanding our Fruit blends and the complexity of our behaviour in the simplest way possible, the more chance we will have of creating happy, productive relationships, whether at work or at home.

    Discover the six Fruit blends to help you love and live with people you just don’t get.
