What Kind of Group Member Are You?
What Kind of Group Member Are You?
<section> <h2 class="ql-align-center">What kind of group member are you? </h2> <p> </p> <p class="ql-align-center"><span style="color: #222222;">Determine how your wiring colors </span>your group experience.</p> </section> <section> <h2></h2> <p class="ql-align-center">I'M A SANGUINE (YELLOW) GROUP MEMBER</p> <p class="ql-align- center">FUN & ENERGETIC </p> <p> </p> <p>As a people-focused extrovert, you bring the energy, the laughs, and maybe even a few hugs to the group dynamic. You’re quick to contribute to the discussion, even if it means talking over more introverted members. Practice curiosity. Ask your group members thoughtful questions. Your magnetism will make everyone feel heard and valued. </p> <p> </p> <p>Small group is a great opportunity to meet new people and hear their stories. And what Yellow doesn’t love a good story? On the flip side, tough stories can make a Yellow squirm. Small group should be a safe place to practice authenticity, so avoid the desire to skim over the hard stuff or use comic relief when tough situations arise.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you're curious about all the other ways your wiring impacts your group experience, check out <em>I Said This, You Heard That</em>. The book and companion videos may change every conflict and conversation you ever have—for good.

You may find it difficult to wait for and listen to the responses of others. Remember: small group is about community and connection, and sometimes that means prioritizing people over completing the list of discussion questions. It’s important to keep the group on task and on time—but never more important than allowing space for relationships to build. </p> <p> </p> <p>Whether you’re the official leader of the group or just the person who’s always nudging everyone along in the discussion, your confidence and decisiveness often earn you a position of authority in your small group. Resist the trap of becoming the “boss,” and instead look for opportunities to defer to other members of your group.</p> <p> </p> <p> <span style="color: black;">If you're curious about all the other ways your wiring impacts your group experience, check out </span><em style="color: black;">I Said This, You Heard That</em><span style="color: black;">.

Meeting new people and opening up about your life feels risky—and opening up is not something you do with just <em>anyone</em>. You share your thoughts sparingly, but when you do speak up, your views add to the discussion in a big way!</p> <p> </p> <p>You may also function as the organizational glue of the group by sending out email reminders, prayer requests, and logistical details to the others. Your sensitivity, empathy, and compassion are deep strengths that create a sense of safety, belonging, and care within your group. </p> <p> </p> <p>If you're curious about all the other ways your wiring impacts your group experience, check out <em>I Said This, You Heard That</em>.

That’s not an oxymoron. A natural-born shepherd, you live to serve others but do so by being an incredible listener, mentor, and friend. It’s not uncommon for Greens to be so others-focused that they forget about themselves. Prioritizing yourself and your spiritual growth is the key to being the healthiest version of you. </p> <p class="ql-align-center"> </p> <p>Are you stressed out by questions like: <em>What should we study next? What kind of snacks should we serve? Where are we meeting?</em> Of course you are! Greens are prone to decision fatigue. Delegating the decisions to other group members (Hello, Reds!) will help minimize your stress so you can focus on what’s most important to you—the people in your group. </p> <p class="ql-align-center"> </p> <p>If you're curious about all the other ways your wiring impacts your group experience, check out <em>I Said This, You Heard That</em>.
