It has long been a dream of The Colour Works to create a forum in which we could bring together the huge community of people who’ve been introduced to the colour model, along with engaging those who have yet to experience it, to connect, share and learn from each other. And now, in these extraordinary circumstances and with everyone being channelled into virtual communication, it feels like the perfect opportunity to do just that.

So that’s why we’re offering a series of COMPLIMENTARY 60 minute virtual workshops to help people use the colour model to build personal resilience, stronger relationship and feel more connected to others.

The first in the series was the following ‘Colourful Coping Strategies’:

Why this workshop is important

In times of instability, our own behaviour and that of our colleagues will inevitably change. Without the benefit of face-to-face contact, we need to adapt our communication styles more than ever, and the Discovery model of behaviour can give a vital insight into how to do this.

In this workshop we will:

• Refresh/introduce the Insights Discovery model and the four colour energies
• Look at the colours under pressure and how they may show up in our behaviour
• Explore resilience when under stress or experiencing change
• Hold discussions in breakout rooms to identify and share coping strategies and present back (participation is optional for those who prefer to observe rather than take part)
• Summarise, highlighting tangible actions to achieving greater resilience

What those who attended said about the session:

‘Really valuable session especially throughout this period of isolation. Food for thought on how I can change my actions and further understand how my different colour profile colleagues may be feeling.’

‘Would just like to say thank you. I woke up yesterday feeling really fed up. Many days have been the same with endless Zoom meetings with learners and meetings. I felt this was just the thing I needed yesterday and really enjoyed all of the content and the breakout room where I could speak with likeminded people.’

‘Thank you for hosting what has been the most useful resilience workshop that I have attended during lockdown. It was so useful to be able to discuss with others who knew their colour preferences the ways of coping that worked for us, often coping mechanisms tend to be too generic.’

‘I found today really good. I was a little nervous beforehand – what was it going to be like / the format etc. soon as it got underway I was fine. Well presented, well-formatted – 1 hour flew by! I started today not feeling great, but after 1 hour felt a lot better. Remembering how we move from one colour to another – made me feel a bit more ‘normal’ with the thoughts/actions I have been experiencing. Keep up the great work and thank you for today!’
