Why use Insights Discovery?

The Insights Discovery model is central to personal and team development and is the basis from which we begin many great conversations as part of individual coaching sessions, team effectiveness workshops or management development programmes.

The model is based around your unique blend of four colour energies which identify your behavioural preferences. It provides teams and organisations with a common language from which to recognise how we show up and impact on each other.

By recognising and adapting to different behavioural preferences, team dynamics can be explored and transformed into higher trusting and more productive working relationships, enabling teams to perform at a higher level.

INSIGHTS TEAM WHEEL

Once a team has received an Insights Discovery Profile, a “Team Wheel” can be created enabling the team to discover:

Similarities and differences in preference – identify possible challenges and tension between individual team members.
Discover how to adapt and connect to others on your team.
Strengths and possible areas for development – where are we strong? How might we leverage our strengths and mitigate our weaknesses?
Culture – how might we be seen by others? How are our behaviours representing the team culture?
How might we impact on others as individuals and as a team?
