Personalities Remixed: How Self-Awareness and E-Colours Transform Leadership, Teams, and Relationships with Lewis Senior, Mark Wilkinson and Paul Grant
Joining me today are the team behind the Personalities Remixed approach, Lewis Senior, Mark Wilkinson and Paul Grant. They work across industries — from classrooms to boardrooms — helping people strengthen communication, leadership, productivity, safety, and teamwork by understanding personality at a much deeper level.
Self-Awareness is the Starting Point: When you understand yourself, you unlock the freedom to choose instead of being controlled by old habits.
Personalities Remixed is a candid, practical conversation with authors Lewis Senior, Mark Wilkinson, and Paul Grant about how personality shows up in real life—at work, under pressure, and in the moments that matter most.
Together, we explore the full E-COLORS framework and how our behavioural patterns influence communication, leadership, decision-making, culture, and safety. This is not about labels or putting people in boxes. It is about awareness, responsibility, and learning how to adjust in real time.
The conversation focuses on practical application—how personality affects teams, how stress amplifies tendencies, and how simple interventions like “Pause and Play” help shift reaction into intention. Listeners walk away with language, clarity, and tools they can immediately use to lead better, communicate more effectively, and build stronger relationships in every environment.
