True Colors
True Colors® is a model for understanding yourself and others based on your personality temperament. By each attendees’ participation in this workshop, they will be able to differentiate the four central True Colors® personality styles. Each of us has a combination of the four True Colors that make up our personality spectrum, usually with one of the styles being the most dominant. By identifying your personality (and the personalities of others), True Colors provides insights into different motivations, actions, and communication approaches. The core of the system identifies intrinsic values, motivations, self-esteem, sources of dignity and worthiness, causes of stress, communication styles, listening styles, non-verbal responses, language patterns, social skills, learning styles, environmental motivators, cultural appeal, negative mental states, relationship orientation and ethical behaviors.
In this session participants will use a True Colors process to determine their unique pallet. Once the pallet is determined, we will then learn about the strengths, weaknesses and possibilities to use their knowledge to better clarify communications, and potential methods for motivating direct reports and fellow workers.
At the end of the session attendees will be able to:
- Identify individual personality color spectrum
- Understand the strengths and challenges of each personality spectrum
- Use the color spectrum to better manage, communicate with, and coach fellow workers/direct reports
