Discovery

A psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung. A simple and memorable model that creates lasting self-awareness, builds stronger relationships, and drives business performance.
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.

The 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 those of an opposite type.
- Strengths and possible weaknesses – where are we strong? what could we be doing more of? what could we be doing less of?
- Culture – how are our behaviours representing the team culture?
- How might we impact on others as individuals and as a team?
Take a look at the spread of colour energies within the Team here at Bowline. Following our discovery workshop, we are more aware of each other’s preferences, our collective strengths, communication styles and where we need to dial up and dial down our colour energy mix when collaborating on projects.
