Real Colors personality and communication skills workshop
Ariga is a certified Real Colors facilitator since 2016. She will teach us this fun session.
Real Colors is a temperament/personality test, which will help you understand your own strengths as well as others’. It helps to raise effectiveness in teams/groups.
Real Colors® is a dynamic workshop experience using a personality type test. The goal is to provide participants with the skills to:
• understand human behavior
• uncover motivators specific to each temperament
• improve communication with others
The basis of this workshop is the Real Colors Personality Test, which is a user friendly, intuitive tool that identifies four personality types common to all people – Gold, Green, Blue and Orange.
It all begins with the Real Colors workshop, in which participants:
- gain an understanding of the four colors (each corresponding to a personality type)
- discover where they fall as an individual on the Real Colors spectrum
- learn to recognize characteristics of each of the four colors
- discuss with fellow workshop participants what it’s like to be each color
From the very beginning, participants begin to see the world from a new perspective…and have fun doing it!
The Real Colors workshop is the foundation designed to address common organizational topics such as stress, workplace issues, teams, and leadership. It can be applied home or at work.
Each participant will receive a Real Colors kit to take home.
