Secret 01 · SGL-Communications · Color code

Separate your message into PPP: professional, personal, private.

Three lessons: the colour code itself, the tools that put it to work in a room full of strangers, and the stories it lets you tell.

Professional · Head language Three lessons · about 3 minutes to read

Focus
Why? — about the reasons or cause behind your leadership.

The case

Communication is Power

Bildet fra fredssamtalene — liggende, full bredde

Before the war in Ukraine began in 2022, the failed “peace talks” between Presidents Putin and Macron were caught in a single photograph. It says more than pages of argument could: how easily an important conversation can be sabotaged.

Words do not only describe a situation; they create one. And SGL grew out of ordinary experience — everyday situations anyone can recognise.

Secret 1 · PPP

One message, three codes.

Each code opens a different kind of creativity. The skill is knowing which one the situation asks for.

Professional · Blue

Facts, head language

For known creativity.

Personal · Red

Social, heart language

For unknown creativity.

Private · Yellow

Emotional, gut language

For hidden creativity.

In this Secret

Three lessons in Secret 1

Work through them in order, or begin where curiosity leads.

Remember to tick “I have read this lesson” at the bottom of each lesson page. That is what saves your progress here.
