Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re just not being heard? Or maybe you’ve found yourself frustrated, wondering why some conversations seem easy while others feel like a constant battle? Miscommunication happens to all of us - and it can leave us feeling drained and misunderstood.
The thing is, we’re all wired differently. Our personality plays a huge role in how we connect with others, and when you combine that with a little neuroscience, things start to click in a big way.
That’s why I love the True Colors personality framework. It gives you insights into why you do what you do, and more importantly, it helps you understand others - making communication smoother and more meaningful. And when you pair that knowledge with brain-based strategies, you can strengthen your relationships and ease the frustration of daily misunderstandings.
Let’s break it down by personality type and sprinkle in some neuroscience to make it all stick.
Here are the neuroscience hacks for every personality type...
Gold Personality: The Organized Go-Getter
What they struggle with: Overwhelm. Golds are natural organizers, but the pressure to do everything (and do it perfectly) can leave them feeling burnt out and unsupported.
Brain Tip: Golds thrive on structure because their brains crave routine. When your brain knows what to expect, it reduces the cognitive load and stress. A great trick? Write down your top three priorities for the day. This helps your brain focus on what’s most important without feeling buried in tasks.
What to say to a Gold: Be clear and respectful of their time. Say things like, “Here’s the plan,” or, “I’ve got this covered,” to help ease their need to control every detail.
Blue Personality: The Heart-Centered Helper
What they struggle with: Feeling unheard or disconnected. Blues are all about relationships and emotions, so when they don’t feel appreciated, it cuts deep.
Brain Tip: Blues are wired for empathy, which means their brains light up in social connections. If you’re a Blue, try practicing gratitude—it activates the brain’s reward system and strengthens emotional bonds. Feeling stuck? Write down three things you’re grateful for - it can shift your mindset fast.
What to say to a Blue: Listen actively and show you care. A simple “I hear you” or “That must have been hard” can go a long way in having them feel valued.
Orange Personality: The Free-Spirited Doer
What they struggle with: Feeling stuck or micromanaged. Oranges are adventurous and action-oriented, so too much structure can feel like a straightjacket.
Brain Tip: Oranges are fueled by dopamine - the “feel-good” chemical tied to rewards. To stay motivated, mix up your routine or set small, fun goals to spark that dopamine rush. A quick movement break, like a walk or stretching, can also help reset and refocus.
What to say to an Orange: Keep things flexible and fun. Instead of saying, “This is the rule,” try, “Here’s an idea - what do you think?” They’ll engage more if they feel like they have room to be creative.
Green Personality: The Logical Analyzer
What they struggle with: Emotional arguments or inefficiency. Greens value logic and reason above all else, and chaos or unstructured communication can frustrate them.
Brain Tip: Greens thrive when their brains are focused on a single task. Doing more tasks at once overloads the brain and can lead to burnout. If you’re a Green, focus on one project at a time and give yourself space to think - it’s where you do your best work.
What to say to a Green: Be direct and logical. Present your points with reasoning, and don’t take their questions personally - they’re just seeking clarity.
Why This Matters
Understanding yourself and the people around you isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s life-changing. When you know how someone operates, you can approach conversations in ways that feel natural and productive for both of you. And when you combine that knowledge with a few neuroscience-backed strategies, the result is deeper connections and less frustration all around.
If you’ve been craving better communication in your life, it starts with awareness. Let’s dig into who you are, how you’re wired, and how you can use this insight to strengthen your relationships.
