Life is a matter of choices…

Philippa Fairbrother, Founder of Satori People Development, helps businesses build highperforming teams through selfawareness, collaboration, and effective communication with Insights Discovery workshops and bespoke Learning & Development programmes. Here, Philippa talks about the four colour energies and their approach to making choices:

I recently achieved my Level 1 Reiki, something I had wanted to do for years but never got around to, until I realised that not doing it was a choice in itself!

When my close friend, a Reiki Master Teacher, offered me the opportunity, saying yes was easy. But I hadn’t really thought about what Reiki truly meant. I just thought it was cool and wanted to try it (hello, Sunshine Yellow energy!).

Now, I understand that Reiki isn’t just a certificate, it’s a lifestyle. As part of my

21-day clearing, I had to make conscious choices: daily self-Reiki, avoiding alcohol, and cutting out junk food. As someone who enjoys a weekend drink and the occasional takeaway, this has been a challenge.

Surprisingly, though, it’s been easier than expected. Why? Because my belief in this journey makes the choices feel worth it.

When was the last time you had to make a tough choice? What belief made it easier (or harder) to follow through?

In the Insights Discovery model, each colour energy has their own unique way of approaching choices, influenced by their core traits. Here are the four colour energies and their approach to making choices:

Fiery Red

Fiery Red types approach choices with quick, goal-focused decisiveness, confidently selecting practical options that align with their objectives. They’re action-driven, preferring choices that lead to immediate results without overthinking.

Sunshine Yellow

Sunshine Yellow types make choices with enthusiasm, often trusting their intuition and seeking options that foster enjoyment and connection. They’re open to flexibility, considering the social impact of their decisions and favouring paths that feel engaging and positive.

Earth Green

Earth Green types take a thoughtful, values-based approach, prioritizing decisions that consider others and maintain stability. They patiently weigh choices, preferring those that create harmony and seeking input from others to ensure alignment with collective needs.

Cool Blue

Cool Blue types make choices carefully and analytically, emphasizing detailed understanding and logical evaluation. They lean toward cautious, evidencebased options, following a structured approach to ensure their decisions are thoroughly considered and risk-averse. Which colour energy do you align with?
