The outcome was dramatic in helping students make meaningful career decisions while creating purpose and passion in their lives. Carolyn's first True Colors book became a cornerstone in college career development programs. She then went on to write her best selling book, Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love with a companion workbook and a youth workbook, True Success.

Other organizations use it with parents to improve relationships with their children while therapists use it to help couples understand their individual differences.
