Colorful Work: Using the Color Code to Get Work Done With Less Stress and Frustration

Communication at work is the oil that keeps the engine of productivity humming along. I imagine you have had times when the oil is not doing the job well and the engine is sputtering or has seized up as you work with stakeholders to keep infectious diseases from spreading in your facility.

The Color Code can help the engine run smoother and more efficiently even in times of stress and conflict.  Learning the Color Code will give you insights to work more effectively with others, especially with those who think and act differently than you.

To accomplish this on May 31, we will:

•   Learn the four core personality types, including the strengths and limitations of each

•   Discuss the effect of your (and your colleague’s) secondary color during stressful or conflict situations

•   Identify strategies for communicating more effectively with each color, particularly in stressful or conflict situations

To get the most out of our time on May 31, I recommend that you complete the Color Code Personality Analysis (it takes about 30 minutes).  The basic one is free and will show you your core color.  It will also familiarize you with the basic principles of the Color Code.

You may opt to take a more comprehensive analysis for a fee, but it is not required for our session.

1. Click on the following link: https://www.colorcode.com/choose_personality_test/

2. To take the basic analysis, Click on the red “start test” arrow at the bottom of the “basic analysis” column

3. Complete the 45 questions.

4. Enter your first name, last name, zip code and email address.

5. Your analysis will be sent to your email address.

6. Print a copy of your results and bring it to our May 31 meeting.
