A story about eColors
At Equilibria, we believe in realizing the potential in every individual and organization.
We achieve this through harnessing the understanding of both personality and character to enhance communication, and elevate performance and effectiveness.
A Small But Important Part of Who We Are
Our approach recognizes that for the most, people understand others based on their personality alone – which only forms a small part of who they are. For this reason, most of us only have a partial picture of who others are, and therefore often miss the larger story.
Scroll down to discover how understanding these differences can improve communication and effectiveness.
Personality
Understand Yourself, Understand Others Through eColors
How do we understand every individual when each is so different? We simplify this process of understanding self and others by developing the Personality Diversity Indicator (PDI), validated by more than half a million people.
Solution
The eColors is a tool that heightens self-awareness
This simple yet highly effective tool heightens our awareness to different personality styles, communication styles and behavioral tendencies.
The Four Main eColors
We employ four primary colors to represent each of the four main personality quadrants. The eColors comprise:
Green - Thinker
The part of your personality that helps you plan and analyze information.
Red - Doer
The part of your personality that helps you take action and get things done.
Yellow - Socializer
The part of your personality that helps you interact and engage with others.
Blue - Relater
The part of your personality that helps you empathize with and support others.

eColors theory suggests that we have all four eColors within us. That’s why understanding the varying degrees of each eColor in us is tremendously useful.
At Equilibria, we believe in understanding, embracing and leveraging the diversity of thought and behavior in a team.
Your primary and secondary eColors identify your personality style. No one Color combination is better than another, it’s just different.
eColors perspectives give us an opportunity to benefit from diversity of thought.

The Larger Part of Who We Are
So what forms the rest of us? It is our character.
Explore what our character embodies here.
Character
Our ethics and morals
Our background and beliefs
Our self-awareness and ability to manage our personality
Our commitments and values
Our life experiences, education and training
eColors helps us move from reaction to response by simply employing our own personal intervention
Applying What We Know
Our personality and character affect our behavior
Many people move through life in reaction mode, guided by automatic behaviors and instinctive communication styles. This spontaneous, personality-driven response often happens before conscious thought or intention takes place.
React
A natural progression from learning our eColors is another of our proprietary coaching tools – Personal Intervention.
Personal Intervention is a tool that promotes intentional self-management based on the understanding that a measured response is likely to get you a better result than a knee-jerk reaction.
Personal Intervention
A character-driven response comes from awareness and intention. It reflects mindful communication, where thought, empathy, and purpose guide behavior instead of impulse or habit.
Respond
eColors helps us move from reaction to response by simply employing our own personal intervention.
Pause & Play
Moving From Reaction to Response
Once people have a heightened sense of personal and team awareness through the eColors and are able to differentiate between their personality-based reactions and character-driven responses, they can then use the concepts of PAUSE and PLAY to move from reaction to response mode and start to make conscious choices leading to intentional outcomes.
