SEMINARS & CERTIFIED INVENTORIES ARE AVAILABLE TO UIC STUDENTS:

• True Colors® (requires at least two hours for each presentation / there is a fee associated with this assessment - fees may be waived upon at the discretion of the staff)
  True Colors® is an interactive way to discover strengths and have a better understanding of yourself and others. Through assessment, activities, and group projects this seminar will offer a fun and active approach to leadership. Other personality theories label people as one thing. No person is one pure ‘color’ – we all have traits to varying degrees and mixes. The True Colors methodology is the only one that recognizes that we all have all four ‘colors’ in us, just in varying degrees.
  True Colors® is a model of personality identification that improves communication through recognition of a person’s true character. Utilizing the colors of orange, green, blue, and gold to differentiate four basic personality types, True Colors becomes an uncomplicated language for every individual to convey complex ideas very simply.
  True Colors® is an excellent way for people to recognize their strengths and work on their weaknesses
