"Increasing your self awareness is key in your personal development, both at work and in your private life."
In order for people to increase their self awareness and get a better understanding of themselves and others, I work with 2 well known methodologies: Insights Discovery and MBTI.
The Insights Discovery methodology uses a simple and memorable four colour model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. We call these the colour energies, and it's the unique mix of Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue energies, which determines how and why people behave the way they do.
MBTI uses a 4 letter combination to indicate your personality preferences in four dimensions:
The four letters that make up your personality type can help you to understand yourself and your interactions with others.
Both models help people understand themselves and their colleagues so that they can have more productive, respectful and positive working relationships, even across virtual boundaries.
Both models have used the work of Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, who was the founder of many personality assessments as a basis for their model.
Having worked extensively with both models, I can support you and your teams in your development journey, and help you selecting the methodology which is most suitable.
