SHRM Virginia State Conference Charts Richmond - January 8 - 10, 2014
Showtime
The Facilitation Team normally has a bit
more to say in terms of an introduction and
encourages questions of comments
throughout the presentation.
This sets the stage for ample interaction.
Typically a "body parts" exercise helps to
warm the group up to interactions and learn
something about themselves. In this case
the "Leg Wiggle" was used. The point is
that our brains have worn a groove that
typically encourages habit to take over our
actions. We can overcome these habits and
use a full range of our brain power if we
make that choice. This theme is repeated
several times as it relates to the RGB and
the Workshop theme - leadership!
Engaging in the SPOONS Simulation...

SPOONS Simulation
See "SPOONS Photos" at
www.ltodi.com/Key.htm ...
"SO" Invitation...
SO stands for Significant Observations.
This is normally a 15 to 20 minute exercise
during which participants provide their
SO's about engaging in the SPOONS
Simulation and what that had/has to do with
the theme of the workshops - Leadership.
Twenty-three SO's were advanced and
discussed during the time allotted. Over the
years we've collected well over 100 distinct
observations that link SPOONS to real life
conditions! This makes SPOONS a highly
reliable interactive and fun exercise with
consistently proven results! Some
observations could easily be the topic of a
follow through strategic initiative.

RGB Lecturette...
There are three parts to the lecturette:
1. Emphasize that everyone has all three
colors - Red, Green, and Blue.
2. Transition from SPOONS. This is
designed to link the RGB with playing
SPOONS. Behaviors are observable while
playing SPOONS that come alive in
everyday life. Placing the cards in order is
RED. Helping others play the game is
GREEN. Trying to change the rules of the
game is BLUE.
3. Describe each of the categories
sufficiently that participants will likely
know their primary color. When the
facilitator is comfortable in this they can
transition to the Reveal!

Post Conference "Photos" link!!
Reveal Activity...
The Facilitation shows their RGB Profile
results to the participants with a further
explanation based on the behaviors that
participants have likely observed.
Participants are asked to OPEN their
envelope, wear their beads proudly, and
review the contents of the file: RGB
Individual Profile and potentially a
Comparison Profile and a Composite (for
Chapter Leaders).
A period of questions and answers continues
the learning. This will usually take from 10
to 30 minutes depending upon the size and
openness of the group.
Questions are typically asked about the
links between the RGB and the theme of the
presentation at this point. The group was
asked about how accurate the results
seemed to be - only 2 people in over 100
weren't sure they were properly typed!

Task Instructions...
Each of the 18 tables has a pre-made Chart
with Red, Green, and Blue markers in a
plastic container prepositioned before the
event. The Charts from each table begin
below.
The design allowed for people to stay at
their table (preferred) or join any table that
contained others from their Chapter.
Each table was asked to select a recorder.
Table mates were to react to the headings:
1. Strengths
2. Irritants (this color irritating
others)
3. Connectivity to the Leadership

Key Points...
This provided an opportunity for the
Facilitation Team to emphasize the six
points on the chart to the left.
It was also an opportunity to distribute
Lincoln Penny Pins as a symbol of
leadership. The Lincoln Penny is the only
US coin with a presidential image in full
RIGHT profile.
QWLC links this unique symbol to the last
line on the back of the RGB Individual
Profile with the appropriate label of
"Leadership" which defines the six
leadership RIGHTS!
RED - Right thing at the Right time.
GREEN - Right people in the right place.
Blue - Right reason for the right risk.

Final Thoughts (and Questions)...
These were collected from the participants
throughout our time together. A record was made
but not published to the group. All are explained on
the "http://rgbprozone.blogspot.com/" Blog.
The Most Significant Questions:
Three participants had "balanced" numbers. What
are the implications?
Is it possible to obtain a comparison with a spouse or
partner? Yes
How many points create a clear dominance?
See postings at the QWLC eProzone Blog.
How can the RGB Individual Profile be validated?
See the Blog.
Can you explain the "Leadership 9" again?
Can you explain the " Swing" again and the
implications?
There seems to be alack of Green. How did that
happen?
You suggest homework. Can you explain the value?
Can we have the RGB Individual Profile on our
name badge?
How can we find out more about the RGB Inventory
reliability and validity?
What are the occupational implications of RGB?
