In my communication courses, I’ve recently been exploring the True Colors personality types, and it’s really opened my eyes to how differently people think, communicate, and approach situations. I’ve learned that everyone has a blend of all four colors—Blue, Gold, Green, and Orange—but one usually stands out most. Understanding these traits has helped me an d my students appreciate others’ strengths and recognize why certain personalities work well together (and sometimes clash).
This insight has taught me how important it is to adapt our communication and teaching styles to meet different student needs. In healthcare especially, that kind of awareness can make a big difference in how we connect with patients and coworkers.
