Authentic Blue
Blues listen for meaning when communicating, they are always thinking "What do they mean by that?" This can get Blues into trouble if they attach too much meaning to what others say, causing them stress and upset. Blues are very intuitive and will soon 'check out' of the conversation if the other person seems phoney or unkind. Blues are all about human connection, and human growth. They are naturally empathetic and excellent listeners. Blues are intuitive communicators, they will 'just know' if something is wrong and will attempt to help. Blues communicate with metaphors, stories and a global point of view. TIPS: Blues, get to your point more quickly, you may be perceived as overly sensitive, and taking too much time to frame your message. Communicating with Blues: Be friendly and open, build rapport before you get to your point. Be appreciative, acknowledge their contributions. Avoid hurtful comments or language. |

Resourceful Orange
Orange styles listen for usefulness of information, impact and relevance. They will soon tune you out if you do not communicate directly or reveal how the information is relevant and useful. In a sales situation, they will either take over the conversation or walk away if you take too long to get to the point. They are always thinking (or saying) "Just cut to the chase." They will be thinking how the information can serve them in some way, "What's in it for me?" If they cannot find a purpose for the information they will move on! TIPS: Orange, sometimes you may be perceived as fidgety or scattered. Try to stay with the conversation. Communicating with Orange Use language that has impact such as. Keep your messages short and concise. You are the best!" "Way to go great choice" "Thanks for your quick action, you saved the day" |
