Insights Discovery is a powerful development tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung. It uses colour as a common language to build self-awareness; gain an understanding of others and adapt our interactions for success in the workplace.

Who can benefit from Insights Discovery?
Insights Discovery is a learning solution for everyone. Whether you’re an individual seeking personal development; part of a team (virtual or otherwise); a manager or a leader, Discovery can enhance self-awareness, build your understanding of others and give you the interaction skills required to achieve your goals.
Our Insights Discovery workshops help you apply the Discovery model and apply it to real workplace scenarios.
How does Insights Discovery Work?
At the heart of Insights Discovery lies a simple and memorable four-colour model: Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue. Each colour represents a different set of behavioural preferences.
Everyone has all four colour energies. However, they prefer, or are more comfortable with, some over others. It’s this unique blend that determines how and why people behave the way they do.
Identifying our unique blend of the colour energies helps deepen our self-awareness by better understanding our interaction preferences, communication style, likely strengths and weaknesses and the value we bring to the team.
The same common language of colour also allows us to better understanding our colleagues, clients and other stakeholders, and gives us the tools to adapt our interactions for more successful outcomes.

Top Tips for using Insights Discovery
Remember, we are not just one colour, we are a unique blend of all four colour energies. Our potential lies in how we choose to use them.
No colour is better or worse than any other. Each colour energy has perceived strengths and possible weaknesses.
Discovery doesn’t require us to change. It simply gives us the tools to develop and adapt when and if we want to.
Discovery Profiles are designed to be a thought provoking reflection of ourselves. Don’t get hung up if you disagree with certain elements. Testing these areas with people who know you well can help us understand what truth there may or may not be in every observation.
Discovery is a behavioural model that looks at preference, not capability. It is not a measure of skill, intelligence or likely achievement.
Discovery is often part of the solution but not the whole solution. There are so many factors that affect how we as humans function and perform. Always be willing to look beyond Discovery at what others factors might be in play in any given situation.
