In the development and coaching work we do we often use diagnostic tools to help individuals and teams understand their style and preferences and identify ways that these natural attributes can be used to improve performance.
We will soon become licensed to add another tool to our portfolio – Insights Discovery Profiling. These tools have been developed based upon the work of Carl Jung. The tools identify which of the four colour energies apply in your daily life to help you understand why you behave the way you do and why others behave differently. This understanding allows you to explore and understand more about yourself and others, value and appreciate difference, identify ways to interact more effectively and impactfully and identify actions that we can take to improve our performance.

The concept covers a wider field than self-development or self-help: personal development also includes developing others. This may take place through roles such as those of a teacher or mentor, either through a personal competency (such as the skill of certain managers in developing the potential of employees) or a professional service (such as providing training, assessment or coaching).
