Insights® Discovery

Insights Discovery helps people understand themselves and their colleagues, enabling them to have more respectful, productive, and positive working relationships, so individuals and teams can perform at their highest level.

Overview

Insights Discovery helps people perform at their highest level by enhancing their self-awareness. This fosters more respectful, productive and positive working relationships – even in hybrid and virtual work settings. It helps them to:

  • Understand their own and others' communication preferences.
  • Connect more effectively with colleagues to enhance collaboration.
  • Implement a common language to help them overcome challenges and conflict.

They can then easily adapt and connect with others, leading to workplaces where innovation, creativity and productivity thrive.

 

Who is it for?

Insights Discovery is for anyone who wants to understand themselves and others better, communicate more effectively, build stronger relationships and be more successful in both personal and professional life, including:

  1. Individuals – anyone who wants to gain insights into their personality preferences, strengths and potential areas for development.
  2. Teams – that need to improve collaboration, communication and performance. By appreciating each other's preferences and working styles, teams can function more effectively and achieve better results.
  3. Managers and leaders – managers and leaders can adapt their approach to motivate, engage and lead more effectively by understanding their leadership styles and the preferences of their team members.

Every person has all four colour energies within them, having a natural preference for some over others – these influence their motivations and behaviour. It is the combination of these energies which creates each unique personality.

By recognising and appreciating your own and others' preferences better, you can take simple, practical actions that improve your everyday relationships.

What's it all about?

Insights® Discovery employs a straightforward four-colour model, complemented by a personalised profile and workshops led by licensed practitioners, to enhance individuals' self-awareness and understanding of their colleagues, inspiring them to reflect on their behaviour and communication.

Each delegate completes an online evaluator. This creates their Insights Discovery Personal Profile, a powerful tool that can be used to resolve conflicts, improve communication and help teams see the value of each other's contributions at work. It provides a common language that makes it easier to identify strengths and address weaknesses, enabling individuals and teams to perform at their highest level.

What will you get out of it?

When you participate in an Insights® Discovery workshop, you receive several key takeaways that can benefit you in various aspects of your life and work:

  1. A comprehensive personal profile – tailored specifically to you and based on your responses to the Insights Discovery evaluator. It includes information about your preferred style of communication, decision-making processes, potential strengths and areas where you might face challenges.
  2. Enhanced self-awareness – the profile and workshop help you develop greater self-awareness. Identifying your behavioural preferences and how these affect your interactions with others can lead to more mindful and effective communication.
  3. Improved communication skills – Insights® Discovery focuses on recognising various communication styles and adapting your approach to better connect with others, leading to more effective and efficient communication in both personal and professional settings.
  4. Better teamwork – by fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of team dynamics, team members will appreciate each other's strengths and how these can be harnessed to enhance teamwork and reduce conflict.
  5. Conflict management – being aware of different personality types helps in anticipating potential conflicts and managing them more constructively. Knowing why certain behaviours occur can allow for more empathetic and targeted responses.
  6. Leadership insights for managing and motivating diverse teams – by identifying the different needs of team members, leaders can tailor their leadership styles to suit each person more effectively, potentially increasing motivation and job satisfaction.
  7. Action plans – Insights Discovery sessions include action planning to help you apply the insights gained. This can involve setting specific, actionable goals for personal development, improving communication or enhancing relationships at work.

What will your organisation get out of it?
