Education Session
John Johnson, Executive Director of the Hampton Citizens’ Unity Commission for the city of Hampton, Virginia, will present RGB, a simple technology tool used to help teams within a workplace work better together by understanding each other’s situations and human conditions. The RGB measures three fundamental “predisposed requisite talents.” Everyone has some measure of all three. Most people have an abundance of one or two, and shortage of third. Other people are balanced. The RGB tool will examine our self awareness, measure our interpersonal understanding in relationships, provide insight on team performance, guide workload distribution among team members, and direct conflict resolution among people in the workplace who might otherwise suppress conflict. Have fun with what you will learn at this interactive session, and improve your overall performance in the workplace.
Before the event, participants will complete an RGB form and will receive their results at the session. Consider bringing several members of your team for this exciting professional development event.
