How well does your team get along?
Do you all know what boosts or bugs each other?
A True Colors workshop – empathy training for teams and their leaders – will help your teams work better together for greater performance, productivity … and your peace of mind.
True Colors is a model for understanding yourself and others based on your personality temperament.
It helps you work out how you’re wired and why sometimes that can be confusing for the people working with you, especially when you’re starting a new project together.
Orange, Gold, Green and Blue are used to differentiate four central personality styles. Each of us has a combination of these ‘true colours’ that make up our personality spectrum, usually with one colour being the most dominant.
Identifying your personality and the personalities of others using True Colors reveals insights into different motivations, actions, and communication styles.
“It was a great way to understand my own approach to tasks but also how to better understand my interactions with others and achieve the best result by adjusting the way I interact with others.” – Team Leader, insurance industry

Leanne went above and beyond to tailor the True Colours to suit our organisation, particularly due to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and logistical issues. The delivery was professional, friendly, fun, interactive and engaging.

Our ability to understand how others see us is a powerful tool for self awareness, growth and challenge! Would recommend this course to all size teams looking to build cohesion, trust and performance.
True Colors is a fantastic program. It assists teams in gaining a better understanding about each other’s personalities and work styles. It really makes you stop and reflect on strengths and weaknesses. Moving forward I believe our team will overall be a stronger unit because of this program. Thank you very much to Leanne from Presence Communications for brightening up IIG’s colours.
It was a fun and eye-opening experience that engaged the entire team. As a team, we developed an understanding of the different personality traits and how we can best work with each other to avoid stressors and ensure that all team members feel valued. The information gained has helped us to work better together as a team, leveraging strengths of each of the colours that we have in the team. Great experience that the whole team enjoyed.
As a manager, the True Colors workshop really helped break down the barriers in our team, and allowed people to gain a greater understanding of their colleagues work and communication preferences. It bought the team closer together and will have lasting benefits.
Great team building excercise for creating healthy working relationships.
Previous personality tests offer limited if any insights into different triggers, strengths and non-verbal communication styles of myself and others. This course really opened my eyes to these important personality differences.

Everything You Need To Know About The True Colors Personality Test
Teamwork and team building can be challenging, especially when many rich, varying personalities with different communication and behaviour styles are trying to achieve a common goal. Sometimes, getting a team collaborating and working well together requires taking a step back and looking at the individual personalities that make up the group. Presence Communications is a certified provider of True Colors personality testing, and I can help you understand what motivates each person in your team so they can all work better together.
What is the True Colors Personality Test?
Firstly, True Colors is more than quiz to find out your personality profile and strengths. It’s also a fun empathy training workshop for teams and their leaders. It’s built on the belief that every person’s personality spectrum comprises four central personality types, expressed as four colours. However, there’s usually one colour that is the most dominant or brightest.
- Understand yourself better. When we understand our own personalities and triggers for stress, we become better at recognising how our reactions, emotions, and attempts to communicate affect those around us. The True Colors personality test unpacks each team member’s key characteristics to learn how we interact with others.
- Understand your team members. Like us, our team members express a range of behaviour and motivation signals, which are often different strengths and weaknesses to our own.
- Understand how to work collaboratively. The biggest takeaway from a True Colors personality profiling workshop is understanding how to work better as a team. When you know each team member’s ‘true colours’, you gain more insight into the things that upset them, causing conflict within the group. You feel more empowered to delegate tasks that align with individual strengths, and you can communicate effectively with one another to achieve a collective goal.
What Does Your Colour Say About You?
No person’s personality is made up of only one colour, and most tend to feature one or two dominant or brighter colours.
- Orange: Energetic, spontaneous, charming.
- Orange people tend to be action-oriented and are comfortable taking risks. They’re competitive, and they seek adventure and opportunities to push the boundaries. They love to live in the moment and enjoy a flexible schedule. They get stuff done.
- Gold: Punctual, organised, precise.
- Gold people need structure and organisation to feel comfortable. Order, rules, respect, and dependability are important to them. They like to follow a strict plan or schedule, and they expect punctuality from themselves and those around them. They keep the team on track.
- Green: Analytical, intuitive, visionary.
- Green people find innovative thinking and problem solving very exciting. They have an acute ability to see the bigger picture and effectively analyse solutions. They enjoy thinking outside of the box. They encourage curiosity and critical thinking.
- Blue: Empathetic, compassionate, cooperative.
- Blue people are very social and they value harmony and relationships. They are genuinely kind, sincere, and compassionate, and they look for those traits in others. They love opportunities to collaborate and work with others to form connections. They energise the team.
How does knowing your colour power help your team work better together?
If you’re wondering how the True Colors personality test will improve collaboration and teamwork, here are a few positive impacts:
- Effective communication. A True Colors personality profiling workshop gives your team helpful strategies for communicating effectively with different personalities and helps to strengthen team engagement.
- Conflict management. Sharing the results of their True Colors personality test in the workshop helps your team to recognise the causes of conflict and builds their capability to acknowledge, navigate, resolve, and mitigate conflict in the workplace.
- Better collaboration. When you have a better understanding of the personalities that make up your team, you’ll be able to delegate tasks to optimise people’s strengths and keep everyone engaged on the project.
