Perceiving Lenses Short Story

Decent Essays
I had a coworker one time that wouldn’t speak to me for over a month. This caused myself to wonder if he was mad about something I may have said to him. It seemed every time I tried to talk with him, he wasn’t interested in anything I had to say. I ask him one day if he is upset about something I had done. He began to tell me his wife had filed for divorce and he didn’t want anybody to know. I thought they were a wonder happily married couple from time my wife and I spent with them. Clearly my perceiving lenses failed me on this occurrence.

The Shipley communication assessment was fun; the result was shocking because it shows that my previous secondary color blue is now my primary color and my previous primary color gold is now my secondary. By knowing the different colors, it will help how I communicate and approach people with a different preference. 2.…
