Message-ID: Hello Everyone! During August training we will have Dr. Renea Skelton, PhD, talking to us about True Colors. What is True Colors? True Colors is a model for understanding yourself & others based on your personality temperament. The colors of Orange, Green, Blue, & Gold are used to differentiate the four central personality styles of True Colors. This foundational, interactive, and FUN workshop introduces participants to the powerful True Colors concepts. Using genuine True Colors materials, participants will determine their personality spectrum including their most dominant color style & learn to recognize the True Colors of others. Participants will learn to overcome workplace obstacles by strategically applying interpersonal communication skills to persuade & negotiate their way to positive results, develop their assertiveness & influencing skills to build better interpersonal relationships, & foster the appreciation of differences in themselves & others. In order to be prepared and to participate please complete the True Colors Assessment at the link below by Aug. 4, 2023. Assessment Access Link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.truecolorsassessment.com/?R*TwUObe==R__;Kg!!NZFi6Pppv9YRQw!tFP87sPlLYHNdvPNA3HkaqGPtmga1KUzweLtQS4QHt6N1yd_G79OIrv8KqEqEGsbMzI2gjaqI9EPOiTVBlt0dByYPDP_aA$ How can True Colors help? Personal Awareness & Success Each of us has our own style, preferences & ways of operating. So how can we all work together? This interactive workshop helps participants explore their own distinctive personality strengths & stressors, learn to respect & appreciate differences in the ways people function & lays the foundation for relationship-building, effective communication & team building. Communication Effective communication is an essential ingredient for the success of any individual or organization - poor communication increases conflict & loss of productivity. Learn how to improve your individual communication skills & interaction with different personality types to develop & strengthen rapport, boost listening skills & clearly deliver your message in a mutually beneficial way. Team Building Effective teamwork brings new ideas, helps solve problems & increases efficiency. Ineffective teamwork destroys productivity & performance. Discover the personality types of your Team & identify how team members will contribute their talents & abilities to work effectively & collaboratively. Conflict Navigation The ability to navigate & manage conflict is a powerful & important skill. Whatever the source of conflict may be, personal prejudices, differing interests or eroding personal relationships, it's important to deal with it in a controlled & constructive way. Learn the causes, characteristics & approaches for dealing with conflict. Consultative Selling To fully master the complexity of the sales relationship, sales representatives must go beyond likability & learn to add value through every step of the sales process. In this workshop, you will develop a selling mindset & apply strategy to communicate & sell more effectively to customers of all personality types. Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence equips us with tools that manage emotions, leading to more positive outcomes & a higher quality of life. You will increase self-awareness & enable avoidance of emotional hijack situations. You will also enhance relationship management skills by using techniques to increase empathy. Parenting Parents can find difficulty in adapting parenting styles to each unique child. This disconnect can create unnecessary tension, stress & frustration. Discover how you can understand & appreciate the personality differences which lead to unique behaviors of children, learn new methods to build & promote respect & self-confidence in your children to deepen family relationships. ________________________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

New residential Main Street development strengthens small businesses, bolsters the local economy, and renews vibrancy. The HOPE VI Main Street Grant Program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides grants to communities with populations smaller than 50,000 to assist in the renovation of a historic traditional central business district, or “Main Street.” The Main Street grant enables revitalization through replacing unused obsolete commercial space with affordable housing units. Join this webinar on the program to learn about the application process, address questions related to the current NOFO, and learn how you can take action to promote housing in your Main Street district. We encourage you to attend as a team with your staff, local government officials, HUD leaders, and other housing partners.
