Have you ever felt that you just “don’t get” someone on a team that you lead or belong to?  The group just isn’t firing on all cylinders, or pulling in the same direction? Have you ever identified (overtly or covertly) as the odd one out? Have you ever felt that if you or your team could better connect with clients, you would get more sales?

“Valuing differences, creating unity.”  For over 40 years, True Colours has been helping millions of adults and youth find more success in their lives and interpersonal relationships.  This easy but profound way of understanding self and others helps increase empathy, recognize similarities and differences, and lessens conflict through misunderstandings.  

True Colours translates complex temperament theory into practical information and ways to take action. Represented by four colours – Orange, Gold, Green and Blue — it differentiates the four primary personality types.  By learning about each type, people are able to find out which they best identify with, and also acknowledge that they have the three other types within them as well.  This can be a powerful way of building understanding of self and others. 

 

True Colours workshops are a great way to develop your team, whether it is corporate, non-profit, volunteer based, or any other group of people with a similar directive.  A majority of workplace challenges stem from interpersonal difficulties between employees, and employers can lose talented employees if they are not able to match them to tasks and developmental opportunities that they value.  Additionally, staff can lose the chance to acquire new clients, or retain existing clients if they cannot quickly get a read on the person and respond in an effective way.  

By understanding core personality types, teams are able to better understand each other, and as adapt their communication to be more effective.  Many team building events and trainings are complicated and are quickly forgotten or unused.  Because True Colours is easy to remember and deeply ingrained in our everyday lives, participants can use True Colours skills for years after the course, and it can continue to be a useful skill in the workplace.  

All workshops are custom created to match your group and its individual needs.  Workshops can range from 3 hours to a multiple days based on how you want your team to develop.

“One of the best professional development sessions I have experienced! It helped me understand how I approach people relationally and be more understanding of others that may not interact in the same way I do. This has helped me relate better to my students, colleagues and family members! I highly recommend taking the course.”
