Unformatted text preview: Chapter 2: Personal Growth and Behaviors Lesson 2: Self-Awareness Exercise #2 – Self-Awareness Matrix
Directions: In this exercise, you will determine which of your Winning Colors® are the strongest in
different situations: planner, builder, relater, or adventurer.
1. Consider each situation on the left and decide which cluster(s) would dominate your behavior in
each. Rank the colors you would exhibit in order from 1 (most likely) to 4 (least likely).
2. Record a brief example of something you would do or a way you might behave or feel that
illustrates the behavior appropriately. This may not be a behavior you currently exemplify, but one
that you can strive toward.
Remember, though you will have a natural tendency toward one color or behavior, the goal of Winning
Colors® is to strive for balance.
