For centuries people have searched for ways to peek into the human mind. The Greek philosopher, scientist and physician Hippocrates wrote that all human beings could be divided into four distinct personality types. Real Colors is an instrument based on the more modern temperament theories developed by David Keirsey. Participants will take an in-class assessment to identify their Real Colors’ styles, as well as discuss strategies for communicating and collaborating with those whose styles differ from their own. It is designed to help people recognize, accept, learn to value and understand human behaviors to improve empathy and communication in the workplace.

Donald Clifton and Timothy Hodges, authors of Strengths-Based Development in Practice, define a strength as “the ability to consistently provide near-perfect positive performance.” Attend our StrengthsQuest seminar to discover what natural talents you already possess and how you can develop those talents into strengths. Participants will take an online assessment before attending the course, which will identify their top five strengths. The course will focus on understanding the attributes of each strength, the four different strength “domains” and how best to utilize each individual’s strengths in conjunction with others. StrengthsQuest is offered to all staff, faculty and students through a partnership between Human Resources and CU-Boulder Career Services.
