Excerpt from the Report: Adele Lendich, Director (Future Leaders Programme)

This workshop was rated as a highlight of the Forum for most participants.

The workshop introduced the concept of Life Colours and how they can play an important part in helping you see how you impact on others and how this either optimises or minimises your talent.

Life Colours is a practical method of looking at your character and the behaviour that you use when interacting with colleagues and friends.

Life colours can be a powerful tool in helping you to recognise the opportunities by helping to gain an understanding of the strengths you are currently using.

Alyson highlighted the importance of each person being made up differently and that the major goal was of improving our own self-awareness and getting the most of our own feedback.

This workshop was interactive with all participants being involved (mentors and students). It was colourful, fun, exciting, moved at a fast pace and was thoroughly enjoyable.
Each person took away worksheets detailing their own individual makeup.
