TNT Color CodeKnow why
people do what they do.
Most personality tests describe how someone behaves. The Hartman Color Code identifies the driving motive underneath it, which is why it explains the people every other assessment could not. Start with your own.
Certified directly by Dr. Taylor Hartman · Tracie since 2014, Tevya since 2017
What students call it after every other assessment they have taken.
Students come back and still find something new. This is not a one-and-done kind of training.
Not by a licensee. Trained and certified by Dr. Taylor Hartman himself.
How it works
Behavior is the surface. Motive is the engine.
Two people can do exactly the same thing for opposite reasons. Until you know which reason you are dealing with, you are guessing, and most of the time you are guessing wrong about the people closest to you.
The Color Code sorts people by one driving core motive. It is the only major profile that does, and it is why the language sticks after a single day when other frameworks fade in a week.
Four driving core motives. One of them is running you right now, most of the time without asking your permission first.
The one you would claim is usually the one you learned to perform, because it worked. That is not the same as the one driving you.
Two people with an identical core motive can behave nothing alike, which is exactly why reading someone from the outside keeps failing you.
A healthy one and an unhealthy one. Which version you are running matters far more than which motive you happen to have.
Where to start
Three ways in, in the order most people take them.
The assessment
The full Hartman assessment and your personal report: your core motive, your secondary color, your emotional needs, and the traits that show up when you are at your best and when you are not.
The workshop
One live day on Zoom with both of us, where the report stops being a document and becomes something you can use on the people in your actual life. This year it includes the Sales Code for the first time.
One on one
Your own report, worked line by line, then the relationships you actually came to change. Coaching is with Tracie or Tevya, your choice, scheduled around you.
Six things almost everyone gets wrong about personality typing.
One page. Why the last assessment you took changed nothing, why your result would not actually shift with your mood, and why no motive is the good one. If you have ever been typed, nodded, and carried on exactly as before, this explains what happened.
Worth reading whether or not you ever work with us.
Who we are
Two people, certified by the man who built it.
Certified in Color Code and Character Code by Dr. Taylor Hartman in October 2014, Tracie has been teaching this system for over a decade. She has also spent thirteen years building and leading a distributed team, which means she has had the hard conversation with every type there is. She teaches the system the way she uses it, as a practical tool for real conversations rather than a label to hand someone.
Trained and certified by Taylor Hartman himself in 2017. As a Performance Coach, Tevya guides sales and marketing professionals to understand human behavior at a depth that turns into measurable growth. He built a 20,000-member global organization in superfood nutrition, led marketing teams for magazines and music production companies in San Francisco, and is a touring lyricist and singer with three released albums.
From previous students
A training worth taking again and again.
“Thank you so much for this training and for your simple yet SO impactful system! I have been doing the groundwork of healing for years, but that’s just where it starts. Now I have the tools and a vision of what I can become!”
J.B.
“This training was OFF THE HOOK! I’ve taken it now 3 times and each time I find more and more to discover. I feel so blessed to have this lens to understand myself and those around me.”
M.H.
“I love anything that helps me understand myself, people and relationships better. It’s a fascinating system to uncover aspects of being and behavior that affect choices we make in life and business.”

For teams and organizations
When a whole team speaks the same language, the friction stops being personal.
We deliver Color Code and the Sales Code inside companies as a one or two day engagement: assessments for every participant, a distribution analysis of your actual team, and the applied selling and communication work built on top of it. Recent clients include a national practitioner nutrition company.
Talk to us about your teamQuestions
Before you start.
Is this the real Hartman Color Code?
Yes. The system was developed by Dr. Taylor Hartman and is built on core motive rather than observed behavior. Both of us are certified directly by Dr. Hartman in Color Code and Character Code. He is no longer associated with The Color Code organization, and facilitators trained through that organization are not trained by him.
Do I need the assessment before the workshop?
Yes, and it is the right first step regardless. The workshop works on your own results, so the report needs to be scored before we begin. If you have taken it with us before, you never pay for it again.
What is the Sales Code?
Our own applied framework built on top of the Color Code: reading the person in front of you and speaking to what actually moves them. It has only ever been taught inside private corporate trainings. August 29 is the first time it is part of a public workshop.
What is the Character Code?
Dr. Hartman’s second body of work. The Color Code tells you your motive; the Character Code is about what you do with it, and the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy version of the same person. Both of us are certified in it.
I have taken personality assessments before and nothing changed.
That is the most common thing we hear, and it is usually because those tools described behavior. Knowing that you are organized or outgoing changes nothing. Knowing what you are driven by, and what the person across from you is driven by, changes the next conversation you have.
Start with your own report.
Thirty dollars, once, and you never pay for it again. It is the smallest step and the one everything else is built on.
