Understanding Colour Energies

In a team setting, a professional with Fiery Red energy may appreciate the considerate and supportive interpersonal actions of a colleague with Earth Green energy, while they in turn might respect the bold, 'go-ahead' Fiery Red attitude.

However during a challenging period, the Earth Green energy may find their colleague aggressive and controlling, while in turn, the Fiery Red energy may find the Earth Green stubborn, uncommunicative and unwilling to change.

Insights suggest that if we understand how we and others are likely to respond in a given situation, we can communicate with them in a way that allows everyone's best qualities to be recognised and valued, ease any tension and reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings.

At a time when any company is only as good as its people and their knowledge, if you can harness that mutual understanding across the business you have the basis for significant strategic advantage.

All our executive coaches have already had great success using the tool in both the public and private sectors for executive coaching, senior management team development and improving relationships.

The Four Colour Energies

For centuries, philosophers have identified four broad types of personality. Dr Carl Jung further developed this idea in the 20th Century. He suggested that all four personality traits or energies are present in all of us and the different balances between them are what make us unique. The Insights Discovery Profile® is a highly accurate and validated system for measuring those balances.
The full range of psychological types can be depicted on a circle called the Insights Wheel. At its simplest it identifies four groups or quadrants - Insights call them Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue. All of us will have one of these 'colour energies' as our dominant, preferred style of thinking, working and interacting with others.
Each colour energy has its strengths and weaknesses, depending on the situation and your perspective!

Personal Development Profiles for Executive Coaching

All of our executive coaching consultants use personal development profiles as part of the coaching process to increase self-awareness.

The Insights Discovery system was developed in the early 1990s by Andi Lothian and his son. They were each experiencing a time of individual change and questioning, and their quest for answers was the motivation that led them to research and develop their unique personal development profiles and form Insights Learning and Development Ltd.

Insights Learning & Development Ltd is based in Dundee, Scotland and now has offices throughout Europe, North and South America, Australasia, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Their products are available in 30 countries and over 25 languages.

The Insights Discovery Personal Development Profiles, which include a 20-page description of an individual which is accurate, memorable and user-friendly, has transformed thousands of lives worldwide.

Based solidly on the pioneering personality profiling work of the renowned psychologist Dr Carl G Jung, the Discovery Profile is a vital tool to deepen the process of self-awareness.
