Dear Jeremy, I recently heard somebody referred to as a "Healthy Blue". Can you please explain what that means? Does it imply that somebody could be an "Unhealthy Blue," for instance? Thanks! Debbie Dear Debbie, How very observant of you! Thanks for submitting this question. I would love to explain what this means. Anyone who has been around the Color Code for very long has heard us speaking in terms of "Healthy," "Unhealthy," "Charactered," and/or "Dysfunctional". For example, we may refer to somebody as a "Charactered White". Whenever you hear any of these terms, we are referring to a

Dear Jeremy, Any tips or experiences about Red-Blue relationships? Do you find that it really is a "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" combination? Thank you! Laura Dear Laura, Great question! I love it. "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" does just sound so ominous, doesn't it? I think it gets this nickname because roughly 85% of the conflicts that we deal with in training situations are of a Red-Blue nature. A lot of the personal coaching that we have done also has revolved around these two personalities. The fact of the matter is, a Red-Blue relationship is typically the hardest relatio

Dear Jeremy, I have a question about the Color Code Personality Assessment. I just took it prior to attending a workshop last week and I came out Blue. I remember taking it back in High School and coming out Yellow. Is it possible that I’ve changed my color, and how does that happen? Victoria Dear Victoria, I get this question a lot. At almost every workshop we teach, someone brings this up, so let me give you the short answer, and then I’ll explain… The answer is no—it is not possible that you’ve changed your color. Pretty simple and straightforward, right? Okay, let me explain. This usually happens, and I don’t mean to embar

Dear Jeremy, I am a blue married to a white and we are so struggling.  Any tips for us? Linda   Hello, Linda.  I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. That is heartbreaking, but I ABSOLUTELY have some tips for you that can help if you are both open to hearing them. First of all, I obviously don't know you or your husband and we haven't talked specifically about what is going on, so I'm going to speak in more general terms here. Whenever advising couples, the first questions I have to ask is "Do you both know the Color Code? Have you both taken the assessment

Dear Jeremy, I have a Yellow staff member who is great when dealing with clients. People love him, and he brings a lot of business to the company. However, he does not do well with turning in paperwork, expense reports, etc., on time. I have had to come down on him time and time again, but he just gets flippant and tells me to relax. What can I do? Daphne Dear Daphne, Thanks for writing. I appreciate your question, and as a Yellow myself, I may have some insights that will help improve your situation. The key to dealing with this staff member effectively is to understand how Yellows thin

Dear Jeremy,

I feel that my company has a bias in that they value Red and Blue personality types much more so than Whites and Yellows. Can you please take a moment to articulate the value that Whites and Yellows bring to the workplace that perhaps a lot of people don’t perceive on the surface?

Thanks,

Jackie

Dear Jackie,

Unfortunately, it is fairly common for people to view Reds and Blues as valuable in a business setting and Whites and Yellows less so.

Many see the “color” of business as Red. Therefore, they believe that you need to thi

Dear Jeremy, With Valentine's day coming, I wanted to write and ask the following question: How I can get my Red husband more engaged in the holiday? When we were dating, he made the day so special with gifts and activities. Since we've been married, though, he isn't one bit romantic. Help! Sincerely, Blue in SLC  ____________________________________________ Dear Blue in SLC, I have great news for you! If you are well-versed in the Color Code, it's like having that chubby little cherub we call "Cupid" on speed dial. So let me give you a few insights on how Reds--espec

Dear Jeremy, I manage a sales team of nearly 250 people. Our corporate headquarters sets our annual sales goals, bonus structures, and incentive programs based around increasing sales production along certain product lines, which sometimes means not focusing on others. My job is to lead a team of managers with the objective of helping the salespeople for whom I am responsible to increase their sales volume according to the goals corporate sets. Some salespeople are very driven by the bonus/incentive programs, and others simply are not. Some are indifferent to what they are asked to sell, and some are terribly i
