1. Keys to Personal Success An Introduction

2. What is a True Colors Presentation I’ve done lots of personality tests over the years and while I sometimes struggle to recall my Myers-Briggs letters and my DISC initials, I’ve always remembered my true colour. And the nice thing is, it is based upon Myers-Briggs which is a world standard. The True Colors Presentation allows people to understand themselves and their strengths and to appreciate the strengths of others around them whether at home, at work, or in a community group. The presentation is fun to present and fun to take. I have been told by many that it was the best teambuilder they have done as a group.
