Mastering Collaboration: How to Work with Every Creative Personality

Mickey Maher & Corey Kay Season 1 Episode 22

Not every creative clash is about the idea itself. More often, it’s about how the people behind the idea work together. In this episode, we unpack the three personality types you're most likely to encounter when shaping creative work as part of a team.

Whether you're managing, coaching, producing, selling, or delivering content, knowing how to read the room and guide different personalities can be the difference between missed potential and standout results.

Through something we've seen firsthand in media, real estate, and content creation, Corey and Mickey explore what to do when personalities collide, how to build rapport quickly, and how to give feedback without killing the vibe.

We share practical frameworks for:

  • Building trust and alignment in minutes
  • Giving feedback in the moment without defensiveness
  • Understanding what makes or breaks collaboration
  • Handling confident controllers, quiet resistors, and willing learners

This isn’t just for team leaders. It’s for anyone who works with others to get creative work done.
