True Colors® is an interactive, fun half-day workshop designed to help people find personal success and improve their inter-personal relationships. The user-friendly temperament and personality assessment has helped people understand and recognize differences that lead to miscommunication and conflict. True Colors is built upon a teaching model of personality identification that recognizes and celebrates people's true character, and translates complex temperament theory into practical information and actionable programs. Colors -- Orange, Gold, Green and Blue -- are used to differentiate the four central primary personality types. These colors lay the foundation of True Colors' fun and insightful personality-identification system. True Colors helps people learn how to identify and recognize different personalities, and better understand themselves and others. By embracing each individual's personality type and valuing their differences, teams can significantly improve communication and ultimately, performance.
