attention the moment she takes the stage and

Teambuilding with True Colors
Working together with others can be a motivating, rewarding and fulfilling experience.

This fun-filled, interactive session brings staff members together as a more cohesive team by providing activities that build upon the True Colors concepts to facilitate cooperation, team-work, and appreciation for each person’s contribution to the overall goal. |

Can't Get No Satisfaction
Preventing Burnout with True Colors
Are you feeling anxious, frazzled, or just plain worn out? How you handle stress depends upon a lot of things; workload, time constraints, the people you work with, the system you must function in… and there is something more— your personality. We all have a blend of characteristics that make up our own unique personalities. These characteristics have an effect on the different ways we react to and diffuse stress. Being able to recognize and use your skills and natural preferences in positive resourceful ways is the key to maintaining energy and fulfillment at work. Replenish your energy, validate your needs, and discover how to get SATISFACTION! |

Stress
Management
Experience the instant relief that laughter brings as
you examine your own unique stress triggers. Learn to
recognize the things you can change and how to cope with
the things you simply cannot change. This workshop goes
beyond theory and puts into practice methods developed
for modifying how you currently react in certain circumstances.
It will help the participant pinpoint problem areas, evaluate
alternatives and take action to relieve stress now! |

A Colorful Approach to Wellness
Work demands, home responsibilities, and life in general can pack our schedule with a lot of “have-tos” and “gotta-get-dones” to the sacrifice of our health and well being. Exercising, eating nutritiously, and getting enough sleep are just a few of the health habits that can be pushed to the back burner. The True Colors model holds the key to unlocking our health and well-being challenges by helping us identify our intrinsic motivators, strengths, and barriers to success. Once you know how you are wired, you can tap into the power of your True Colors to achieve the health goals you desire and deserve. |
