Program Description:  Imagine having the ability to clearly communicate your thoughts and ideas to clients, friends and family. Picture yourself having a unique level of insight into the things that motivate you and others. Envision achieving all the things you want from life, both personally and professionally.

You see, the power to accomplish these things exists in all of us – we just have to unlock it.

The key is Real Colors.

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 Type Test: 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!
