I am a "Blue" person

Thanks my company and my boss giving me the chance to attend the “Positive Influencing and Negotiation” workshop. There are lots of skills and learning. The role play, group negotiation and tri-party negotiation tactics are excellent. I have learnt a lot from the workshop.

In particular, the coach suggestes that people can be classified into 3 styles “Red”, Blue” and Green” based on one’s motivation driving factor. Red is result oriented where he/she will drive for results and success. Blue is relationship oriented where he/ she will care about other feelings. Green is rational oriented where he/she will focus on fact / data analysis and problem solving. I used to think that I am “Red” and “Green” person, where I am aggressive enough to drive things to get done and use data and analysis extensively. Yet, in reality I am a “Blue” person. I am a highly sensitive person, sensitive to my own feelings and everyone around me; despite sometimes I pretend I don't care. I may not speak much but I can feel and sense hidden emotion. I am always overloaded with friends’ problem and emotion and even did not spare enough time to reinforce my inner strengths. I am easily get hurt and always at a down side to live along with “Red” people. I feel much better and relax inside the circle of “Blue” people.

It is good to attend workshop not only skipping one day’s work but also learn new skills and know myself more. I need to develop more “Red” skills to be a comprehensive and all rounded human.
