Here is what others have said

"I've used True Colors in my career planning classes for several years now. The students love it! I introduce it in the very first class session, which gets them very excited about the course. Students have stated that it not only helps them with career decisions but with other life issues as well! I'm now also teaching College Success courses and will use Carolyn Kalil's True Colors books in these classes too!"

“I have been using True Colors for 15 years and have had great success with my students. I teach Psychology and College Success Courses and currently use Carolyn Kalil's book Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love in all my classes. Students use True Colors as a means for understanding themselves and the people around them, be it family, friends, or coworkers. They learn to appreciate the differences between people, and in turn gain self-awareness about their own individuality. The students I teach are diverse and their repeated enthusiasm in learning about The True Colors system confirms that True Colors is a perfect tool for everyone."

"I have been using the text - Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love - for three years now. … I inform all the students that this is one book you will not sell back to the bookstore. You will use this book for the rest of your life. … One student thanked me for selecting the text because it helped her develop the courage to inform her parents that she had selected a career that allowed her to use her passion. The key word in the course is finding your passion.
