This is the first episode in our 5-part series exploring how the Big Five personality traits shape the way we work, lead, and live—starting with Extraversion. Whether you're navigating team dynamics, managing a relationship with your spouse or sibling, or raising kids with a very different energy level than your own, Extraversion plays a powerful role. In this episode, we unpack what Extraversion really is—and how it shows up in both healthy dynamics and conflict across your work and personal life. You'll learn: ✅ How people high in Extraversion see those lower in it—and vice versa ✅ What happens when these differences lead to misunderstandings or tension ✅ Common phrases that signal conflict rooted in this trait ✅ A 5-step framework to bridge the gap and improve communication Whether you're energized by crowds or prefer quiet mornings alone, this episode offers insight into how your style impacts the people around you—and how to build better relationships at work and at home, one trait at a time.
