Blue represents emotions, values and beliefs as part of the 90% sub-conscious portion of the iceberg analogy of the human brain.
Objectives:
- To help client recognise his/her underlying beliefs and relative importance among variables such as work, money, family, friends, religion etc that may have a bearing on career decisions due to conflicting demands.
- To help client acknowledge and visualise his/her capabilities, experience and passion.

The objective is for the client to find encouragement, optimism and momentum so as to achieve progress towards his/her career goals.
