I suppose I'd be the color of mud, because I'm a little of each. LOL. This reminds me of being in film school and "producing" a TV series episode. I learned the people I needed to be told once, the ones who needed to hear it twice, the three-timers, and the ones who needed to be yelled at. So I would start with the three-timers, then the twos, back to the threes, then the twos, back to the threes, yell at the yelled-at and go to the ones. This all clicked when I yelled at a guy to get to work and he smiled, not as a jerk, but like I was speaking his language. LOL. It worked. We had the most efficient shoot in the series and, despite the studio repeatedly having power outages, we were the only ones to finish on time. xo
Ah Kim. I love that you are sharing more about this amazing tool. I"m actually training the next cohort of facilitators in a few weeks. Any takers? The NOVA is one of my fav pyschometrics as it's not about reducing people to colours ... it's more about understanding which doorway we walk through the most. What is also included is better understanding our MOTIVATIONS which is GOLD. I love teaching people this tool and if anyone is keen to learn more, drop me a line at dina@griefunleashed.ca. It's a gamer changer.
What color do you think I am, Kim? I think I'm a rainbow. But I'm concerned that there's no pink option. Really, though, this is great. Don't forget to assess me, okay? xo
You are definitely a rainbow Nan! I'm going to say GREEN, and I think you've got a dash of red in you too. :) What do you think?
There's your natural state and then adapted. I find that very interesting. How we've adapted our personalities in social settings versus how we inherently feel and operate.
This is fascinating. It’s a thoughtful, bullet point version of “reading the room.” I am definitely green. Would you have guessed that given our convo?
Green is the hardest colour for me to figure out. And yet, I'm married to a green!! (with a dash of yellow!) And we've been married for a looong time. I'm wondering now that I'm not in a work environment if my natural/adapted colours would change? Can a leopard change spots? ;)
This is such a cool tool! I need a cheat sheet of this for every Zoom call I'm on so that I can stop expecting people to show up as me. 😂 I think I might be a predominately red person with yellow stripes.
1) What colour are you in your adapted state?
2) Think of someone you’re struggling to communicate with right now—what colour do you think they are?
3) Using the colourful guide above, what do you think you could do to help the conversation flow and be more productive?

I didn't want to out you, until I had a chance to talk to you, but seeing as you're here...YIPEE!!.
Dina is the one to guide you through if you want to give this tool a try. She's the best!
I trust you implicitly my friend.

Haha. I think my hubster is a red. And I definitely have a dash of yellow. To me this means we are a positive influence on our spouses.
Does it feel like you’ve changed colors?
I'm definitely not as red as I used to be...perhaps hueing towards pink? I'd like to think green is moving up in my adapted state!
