Objectives
To introduce a colourful model of human behaviours that will allow you to:
• Understand your own strengths and challenges in a
period of change
• Understand those who’s needs are different to yours
• Recognise and value the differences
• Consider how this knowledge may be used to manage change more effectively

Four Colour Energies: Key Learning Points
• We are a mixture of ALL four colour energies • We will have a preference for one • Each energy has both strengths and weaknesses • No one colour energy is better or worse than
another • We tend to find our opposites incredibly difficult • We must value the differences to build more
effective relationships • The colours DESCRIBE our behaviour – they
don’t DEFINE us
