Everyone Has Blue Squares. No One Has to Keep Them.
Blue Squares trigger hot-button reactions that derail your effectiveness at work, keeping you from being your best.
▣ What are Blue Squares?
Maybe it's that client that triggers a knee-jerk reaction and you don’t know why, or that one task that seems to completely dismantle your composure. These are what we call Blue Squares – emotional reactions that just don’t make sense and hinder your performance.
▣ Everybody Has Blue Squares
Blue Squares hijack and misguide your logic, training and even the best of intentions, often without you realizing it. As a result, you over- or under-react, preventing you from doing your best work.
