What Others are Saying About C.O.R.E.?
"C.O.R.E. and Dr. Slade's Healthy+Happy Program have changed my life, my marriage, and the way I interact with those around me. I spent so much time feeling like I didn't fit the mold (an R/E female, stay at home mom) but C.O.R.E. helped me to realize that I'm not damaged or broken...I just need to approach situations differently. I feel like the biggest change though has come from how I understand and communicate with my husband, who is a C/O. Instead of feeling like opposites, we finally feel like we complement each other."

It is so validating and encouraging to have a personality profiling system that doesn't take 30+ minutes to take and is so accurate! Taking the assessment is just getting a taste of your CORE, getting the book is the complete blueprint to yourself and those around you.

#1. Why Understanding Your Temperament Is the Key to Unlocking Who You Really Are
So many of us spend years—sometimes decades—trying to
fixparts of ourselves we think are broken. We push, pretend, and perform… trying to become someone we were never meant to be. The result? Burnout, frustration, and relationships that never quite feel fulfilling.
But here’s the truth:
You were never broken to begin with. The real problem? Most people don’t understand why they think, feel, and act the way they do. And that all traces back to one powerful (but often overlooked) factor: your Temperament.
Temperament is the core wiring you’re born with—the part of you that doesn’t change. It shapes how you see the world, how you show up in relationships, and how you handle life’s challenges. When you finally understand your unique C.O.R.E. Temperament, everything shifts.
You stop trying to become someone else… and start becoming more of who you truly are. That’s when communication improves. Relationships deepen. And a more confident, grounded version of you emerges.
#2. Unlock Better Relationships by Understanding the 4 C.O.R.E. Personality Types
Emily had what most people would call “the perfect life.” A thriving career. A picture-perfect marriage. From the outside, everything looked ideal.
But inside?
She was drowning in frustration. Every day felt like an uphill battle—especially at home.The more she tried to fix things, the more disconnected she felt. It was like she was stuck in a life that needed to be
endured, not enjoyed.
Eventually, Emily hit a breaking point… and that’s when she discovered C.O.R.E. As she began to understand her temperament, something clicked. Her tendency to over-plan and seek structure wasn’t a flaw—it was part of her innate wiring. And instead of clashing with her free-spirited, spontaneous husband, she learned how to work with their differences , not against them.
What once caused conflict now became their greatest strength. They learned to speak each other’s language, to collaborate, to connect. Through C.O.R.E., Emily stopped trying to change who she was. Instead, she embraced her strengths, respected her limits, and finally felt understood.
In doing so, she didn’t just heal her relationship—she rediscovered herself.
