Persuasive Communication Techniques
Some people use a bit of psychology when dealing with others. One theory is that people have different energies and are therefore represented by a colour. There are four main types:
Cool Blue: They are usually regarded as the aloof types. They can be cautious, precise, deliberate and formal. You will find they are a bit distant and hold off getting close to people. If you are trying to work with them, or influence them, you will need to plan carefully and work on them slowly.
Fiery Red: These people are pretty much the opposite of the blues. They are competitive, demanding, determined and strong willed. They will reach their goals whatever it takes, even if they have to knock you out of the way in order to do so, like road runners. If you are one of these, you might have to tone down your actions if you want to get ahead with the help of other people.
Sunshine Yellow: Yellows are sociable, dynamic, demonstrative, enthusiastic and persuasive. What lovely people they are - an asset to any organisation or group. They have natural charisma and are able to shine in any situation. People naturally gravitate towards them and they are at ease in most situations. They're valued members of the team and they help keep morale high amongst colleagues. No matter how difficult the job is, they try to see things in a positive light.
Earth Green: These are the caring, sharing, encouraging, compassionate and patient individuals. You probably know a number of them. They are kind and helpful and just can't help it! If you've got a green tinge, you're the one in the office who always has the headache tablets, doesn't forget to water the plants and remembers colleagues' children's birthdays, even when they forget!
Tip: If you want to get on with people who are not like You, you could try adopting the chameleon approach - change colours to suit the environment you're in.
