Teams · leadership · the whole organizationTalk to Them in Colors
Each of us sees the world through our own lens, and assumes everyone else sees it the same way. The colors method helps you read the other person's lens, and adapt your language so the message actually lands.
What is the colors method?
Talk to Them in Colors is the Saltoz workshop for managing interfaces and communication inside an organization, built on the colors method.
The method is based on the psychological types of Carl Gustav Jung and describes four styles — driver (red), social (yellow), caring (green) and analytical (blue) — so you can adapt the message, and the way you work, to whoever is across from you.
The workshop is experiential, and is designed to leave the organization with a shared language that teams keep using day to day.
Why people
love this method
It starts with four simple colors — and ends with an entirely new language. Each of us holds all four, in a different mix. The moment you understand your mix and the mix of the person across from you, a lot of things suddenly make sense.
You see what isn't working — and why
Is there someone communication just doesn't flow with? Usually it isn't personal: it's two colors speaking different languages. The method gives it a name, an explanation — and a way to fix it.
As deep as you want to go
You can stay at the level of getting acquainted, or dive deep: into strengths, blind spots, and how others experience us.
An everyday language
After the session the colors enter the team's language — in meetings, in email, in feedback. “Hold on, let's talk about this in blue” becomes a sentence everyone understands.
Research-based
The method builds on the psychological types of Carl Gustav Jung, and is used by organizations worldwide to develop managers and teams.
the workshop
What the workshop covers
- 1
Identify yourself
What is your leading color, and how does it sound to others? You discover the strengths — and what may get in the way.
- 2
Identify the others
You learn to read the color of whoever is across from you — a manager, a peer or a client — and map the interfaces in the team.
- 3
Adapt your language
What draws each color in and what pushes it away, how to influence and engage — practiced on real situations from work.
The session is experiential and dynamic, and it creates real connection in the group. In a leadership workshop there is an extra layer: a personal profile for each participant, which keeps serving as a working tool long after the workshop.
