Weekly Tools and Tips to Improve Any Relationship
Dear Jeremy, If certain countries exhibit a particular color more than others, (e.g. Australia being yellow, or Japan being red) it seems that certain states or regions might as well. I think of the Northeast being more red, the Southeast being more yellow, the Midwest being more blue and or white, and I am not sure what the west coast would be characterized as. It tends to be a blend of everything. Thoughts? Warm Regards, Scott D. McKeon _________________________________________________ Dear Scott, You are absolutely right in thinking th
Read MoreThis month, I'm choosing to not respond to any one question in particular, but rather to address a reoccurring theme that comes up in a lot of questions I receive. The question is usually something like this:"I am a Red and my partner is a Blue, and sometimes I really don't know what to do help him/her. My partner loves to talk with me about his/her problems, but the minute I try to help identify a solution, he/she is frustrated with me. Maybe this is the logical side of me, but why would you ask somebody for help if you really don't want it in the first place???" It is actually perfectly illustrated in the following video you may

Hi, Jeremy. I'm just wondering... I have an employee who took the assessment and came out nearly 25% in each of the Colors. Is that even possible, and what does it mean? Thanks! Danny Dear Danny, Thanks for the question. It's a good one, and I'm happy to provide you with some insight here. The good news is that you have probably not hired somebody with multiple personality disorder. :)In fact, an almost even split on a Color Code Personality Assessment is actually not terribly uncommon. The truth is, there is only one Color capable of scoring alm
Read MoreDear Jeremy, One of our supervisors here is a bit challenged working with mostly Blues, she is a Red. In hindsight, she felt she over did it with the Blues, in being overly nice, praising, and doing all of the wonderful things she was doing to appeal to the Blues. She said is was awful, as she knows they were thinking “who is this?!” She had fallen more into her secondary Blue color and felt she was trying too hard and it backfired. She said she didn’t feel like she could hand out any more lollipops! Now she has found a healthy balance in that she is now utilizing h
Read MoreDear, Jeremy: Is there a compatibility preference for each color? Like Whites interact better with Blues and Reds, etc.? Regards, Tim ========== Dear Tim. What a great question! Thanks for taking the time to ask. When we teach our workshops or deliver keynote speeches, this is one of the questions that almost comes up in every single group, and rightfully so! All life is about relationships, so this is a very important question to ask. So keep reading here and I'll break it down for you. Let’s start by taking a look at some of the personality dynamics you will find in the various relationship combinations. First of all, each
Read MoreDear Jeremy, Do you have any tips for red/white relationships? I am a white married to a red. He likes to be in charge, he is very active, likes a lot of activity a lot of socializing. He likes the house to be perfectly neat all the time. He always tells me what needs to be done, and even after everything is done, he comes up with other things that need to be done. He insists that things are done his way. To be perfectly honest I am often tired and I wish he just left me alone sometimes. I would like some time to do things that I enjoy, do yoga or even just relax. I am tired of constant cooking, entertaining and socializing.
Read MoreDear Jeremy, So my secondary and tertiary colors (red and blue) are really close (28% and 21%, respectively). But somehow I got a TON of the weaknesses of blue, and NONE of the strengths. And it's really showing up and creating conflict in my life, esp since I'm almost 50% yellow. What does a person do about that?? Can I please have a blue-ectomy? Tori Hey, Tori. Thanks for taking the time to write us about this. It's a great question/dilemma. I would not recommend going with the Blue-ectomy, though. They're invasive, expensive, and you may end up losing a lot of heart in the process. :)
Read MoreGood day; My name is Rene; I just wonder why when redoing the test there would be drastic changes in one's color code? My friend had done the test in 2009 with strong blue as primary color and white as secondary color. Now, after redoing the test, she says she is still blue as primary color but her secondary color has changed from white to red. She is very confused regarding her new results. I am puzzled too as you mention our color coding are coming from birth. Any explanation why their would be such a drastic change a few years down the road? Thank you for yo
Read MoreDear Jeremy, As a Blue father, I really worry about my children taking their schooling seriously while preparing for a future career. That said, are there certain careers that are better fits than others for people with different personality "colors". I have a Blue son, who is very my like me, a Blue daughter, and a Red daughter. Any insight that you can give would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Dan Dear Dan, Thanks so much for your question. As a father myself, I certainly understand those types of concerns. We want the best for our children, and we want to be able to guide them and
Read MoreDear Jeremy, I work in a company with a little over 10,000 employees, and in the top leadership tier, I have two VPs that I’m currently dealing with that I’m not sure how to handle. They are both Red, and when they run their individual teams, they’re amazing, but when they work together on our executive team, they are constantly butting heads. What can I do to make this work? Gavin Dear Gavin, What you have described to me sounds like a classical Red on Red issue that actually isn’t too tough to resolve. Here’s what typically happens: Reds by nature love to fit into leadership roles, and why not? T
