Pantone Reveals Color of the Year for 2014: PANTONE 18-3224 Radiant Orchid



“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.” -Pantone

The color of the year expresses an extraordinary transition of the new year. According to the Psychology of colors, pink incorporates tenderness, sensitivity, care, emotion, sympathy, love and even sex, and purple associates royalty, mystery, arrogance, luxury, childishness, creativity, and even sadness. Combining all these elements in one, we can say that this year won't seem to be that lousy. There will surely be a dominant taste of love and luck among the humanities. Therefore, this year won't be as cruel as the previous one. The well-being that could be brought about by everyone's optimism will be present and hopefully dormant.

May the color of the year inspire us to excel and move on. As a nation full of positive vibes, let us together expect for all the best things to come in 2014.

The following classifications are enlisted by Bernales (2010): a. Eager Beaver This kind of listener presumes that he really has the heart of listening. He, most of the time, looks straightly to the one talking to him and sometimes nods and smiles as if he fully understands the words being said. The act of this particular listener is very deceiving but if he surely understands what he is listening of, that should be a very big question mark. b. Sleeper

They say, "Go wherever your heart desires," and then one night, when I was reflecting on some LinkedIn contents, I realized I have always been inspired by these posts and people behind them, so I thought I would want to do the same for others. Since I have this Blogspot I created years ago, and have been idle for too long, I thought I'd use this as a platform to get started. In the coming days, I would start posting useful and inspiring articles specially targeted to call center trainers like me, those who work in Training and Development department, and even those who are wanting to become one in the future. Furthermore, I'd be featuring Day of a Life of a Trainer, professional tips and advices, best practices, and a lot more. I am naming this blog: UpTraining , which is a common yet relatable term to anyone in this profession. I am so excited to launch this personal project, and I hope to learning with you soon. See you!
