Turning Up the Lights on Your Least Bright Color

GOAL:

To help participants strengthen their least bright color.

• In your least bright color groups:• Create a 1 minute commercial that would

appeal to this color. Be respectful and truly try-on this perspective. It is not a parody activity.

• Be Creative! It can be a commercial for a resort, a restaurant, office, vacation, toy, book. TV show, etc.

• Report out to the larger group.

THE PROCESS: Separate into your least bright color.

BLENDING

We have all four colors

It is the blend of these colors that makes us special and unique.

By seeing Primary Colors brightened in others, we can see these paler colors in ourselves.

It is because of our differences that we need each other and value each other’s POV.

Valuing Differences…Creating Unity

Valuing Differences…Creating Unity

GOAL: To bring a level of appreciating differences.

PROCESS: Separate into your assigned group. Select a leader to record your

comments and ideas.

In groups develop your ideal small group experience for the weekend that would bring out the best in all colors.

As you work together consider how you are interacting (i.e. the means), not just the ends (i.e. the results).

Each person has a sticker that identifies a need, think about how you can stretch yourself to include this need in the process.

Resist the Temptation

To colorize your home, office, neighborhood, church, and any of your customers.

To color bash.

To fix other colors.

To make colors carry a value.

To not stretch to your full colors.

To not use the information.

To make others like you with a different face.

Thank You!
