What we Offer
We offer a range of workshops supporting personal and team development, using Insights Discovery as our framework. I’ve been working with Insights since 2018, with midwives, obstetricians and students, and have found it a hugely positive and holistic tool to support personal, team and organisational development. Ahead of workshops, all participants are invited to complete an Insights Discovery personal evaluator, answering a series of questions to highlight their behavioural preferences. Workshop participants then receive a personal Insights profile, which can include the following chapters:
Foundation Chapter
This chapter is included in all Insights profiles. It’s designed to encourage self-understanding, enabling the individual to develop effective strategies for interaction and better respond to the demands of their environment.
Management Chapter
This chapter can be added to the Foundation chapter, and supports individuals and their managers to better understand how particular contextual and other management issues may impact on behaviours.
Personal Achievement Chapter
This chapter can also be added to the Foundation chapter, and is designed to help individuals focus on aspects of personal development, offering insight and support when people are considering development needs and priorities.
Using profiles to support personal and team learning
Participants’ profiles are explored in depth within workshops, and learning is situated within experiences and challenges associated with participants’ working context – the examples below offer some examples of these contextual issues.
Another significant element of workshops is the team wheel, which is generated from the personal profiles of the participants. The wheel offers a great opportunity to explore how teams work together, including particular strengths and areas for improvement, with a focus on valuing team diversity and building unity. Here’s an example from one of my Insights workshops, and you can see how the personal profiles appear at team level – each small dot represents an individual profile:
