Insights Discovery Psychometric Tool: Does your working style impact on your team? Featured Image

Working with the Insights Discovery Psychometric tool and it’s colour preferences allows us to take a step back, reflect and explore with our teams a key question…

“What is your working style?”

We know that Insights Discovery works with a 4 colour model, we have all four colour energies, its the combination of these colours that shows our working style, and typically we lead with a certain colour more than others.

Knowing my own working style and Insights Discovery preferences has helped me immensely when working with colleagues and even starting in new roles. Why….?

I am a Creative type which means my two preferred colours are opposite to each other…. You might question, why would colleagues need to know that…

It helps them to understand where my thoughts go when planning work or projects etc. and help them try to adapt to my point of view and by knowing this, it does make it easier for people to connect with me or challenge me more effectively .

One moment i will be saying “I feel this initiative could be of real benefit for people” and in the next breathe I’m saying “ We need to make sure we meet this project deadline! ”

Why should teams reflect on their working style?

Allowing teams to explore and get a better understanding of their own preferences as well each others can allow them to build stronger relationships and enable them to work better together. They can begin to appreciate their differences and how they can better learn from each other.

It can allow teams to take the time to come up with more effective work place solutions, such as ‘How do we collaborate better together’, ‘How do we make better decisions’ ‘How do we prefer to receive information’ These can be simple but effective areas for teams to talk though to build trust and connections.

The benefits to knowing working styles

  1. You get to know yourself and your colleagues better

  2. The ability approach work tasks differently but still achieve a common goal

  3. Enable more open communications and allow for each other to share their thoughts in a safe space

  4. Being able to adapt and connect better, leading to more work

  5. Appreciating others strengths and pulling on these collectively, and supporting colleagues when they are feeling challenged

  6. Valuing each others contributions and being able to see it from each others viewpoints

Ashleigh has an uncanny ability to really get to the bottom of why we feel unproductive at times. Her advanced skills and techniques enable her to carve the right pathway so that we perform better as professionals, sleep better on a night, and function in a much more efficient and productive way during the day. When it comes to her coaching and personal development sessions, she listens intently, asking the right questions and finding the solutions that we need to achieve our goals whether they be personal or professional. If you are someone that is lacking clarity and focus, or someone that has advanced to the next stage of their career and looking to increase productivity, or even someone that just wants foolproof ways of better managing a team, then I would recommend Inspire OD unreservedly.

You won’t be disappointed.

I couldn’t recommend working with Ashleigh more.

She has used her skills to help me become more productive and get to the deeper issue of why I wasn’t using my time effectively. She does this without any judgement and with such professionalism. I felt safe and open to talk to her and I really looked forward to our sessions.

If you are ever stuck and need someone to help guide you in the right direction Ashleigh is your girl!

I had a vision of achieving my goals but lacked the clear path & tools to get there.

Our very first session, I was struck by Ashleigh’s genuine enthusiasm and dedication to helping me succeed.

Her ability to listen attentively and ask insightful questions created an environment where I felt comfortable sharing my aspirations, challenges, and fears.

Ashleigh was absolutely fabulous, from the moment my coaching journey began she guided me through the process and made me feel comfortable throughout. The session felt non judgemental and relaxed. She allowed me to speak freely and guided our discussion allowing me to conclude my own opinions. She really helped me draw clarity on my situation and ensured I left feeling positive with the knowledge I can tackle my issue head on.

We asked Inspire OD to deliver the Introduction to Insights Discovery Workshop.

As a transformation programme and project management team, the session was incredibly insightful for self-awareness, understanding how to work best with our stakeholders and for the wider team dynamic.

Ashleigh’s delivery style ensures all participates get the most from the session and paces the content to ensure you come away equipped with a new set of skills that you can readily apply.

I would strongly recommend to others!

Such a fun and engaging way to bring the team together which really got us thinking about ourselves, how others perceive us and how we can lean into these discoveries to further build on our internal communication to achieve our goals collectively

Ashleigh has a great talent that not many people have today, and that is the ability to listen.

During conversations with Ashleigh, she gave me the tools to deal with scenarios which I hadn’t considered and were of great benefit, I will continue to use going forward
