The Challenge

The uncertainty of our times, coupled with the increased role of remote learning, has made emotional intelligence imperative in educational environments.

Emotional intelligence (often shortened to EI or EQ for "emotional quotient") is a person's ability to recognize, understand, manage, and reason with their emotions.

We know healthy emotion regulation translates to higher academic performance. It helps students focus their attention on the task at hand, make better decisions, and execute strategies that can improve their emotional well-being and goal achievement.

It’s easy to see how EI has become highly valued in academic settings, not to mention the workplace. True Colors has the custom solution needed to develop EI in your students, faculty, and staff.

How True Colors Can Help

True Colors programs help teachers, students, and staff better understand themselves and each other through increased EI. While each solution we offer is unique, all our solutions promote EI growth through shared experiences, increased self-awareness, a common language to discuss differences, and elevated empathy for others.

We collaborate with you to develop customized online and in-person programming for your entire school district or campus. Our methodology is the foundation from which to implement a robust EI curriculum with lasting outcomes and benefits.

True Colors programs are appropriate for K-12 and higher education settings at public or private educational organizations of any size. We customize our offerings and consulting services to best meet your needs. Our programming focuses on such areas as:

  • College readiness

  • Post-college success

  • Career readiness

Our Evidence-based Methodology

The True Colors proprietary methodology distills complex temperament theory into practical tools and actionable programs.

We use colors — Orange, Gold, Green, and Blue — to differentiate the four primary personality types and illuminate how these types best interact with each other.

By helping individuals better understand themselves and others, our evidence-based approach reveals the “why” behind behavioral issues within organizations.

As a result, True Colors improves overall performance and academic results by providing programmatic solutions to today’s pressing challenges — on-campus and online.
