If you’ve ever had that aha! moment during an Insights Discovery session—where everything just clicks—then you’ll know how powerful the model can be. We’ve delivered 121 Feedback Sessions before where people have exclaimed that they almost “feel naked” their profile summary is so bang on. But what happens after the workshop ends? Insights Discovery shouldn’t be a “one and done” experience. To see real value, we need to embed it into our daily habits, conversations, and team culture. 

Here are 10 simple, practical ways to bring Insights to life in your business every day: 

1. Display Your Insights Bricks on Your Desk 

Your coloured Insights bricks are more than just a fun souvenir—they’re a visual cue to your communication style and strengths. By keeping them visible, you invite others to understand you better and start more conscious conversations. 

2. Share Colour Preferences at the Start of Meetings 

Begin team meetings or project kick-offs by sharing your colour energies. A quick “I’m leading with Sunshine Yellow today” helps set expectations around communication styles, energy levels, and how each person might contribute. 

3. Use Team Wall Charts as a Conversation Tool 

Whether in your office space or shared virtually, team wheel charts are a great way to understand dynamics at a glance. Need to bring in big-picture thinking? Look for Fiery Red or Sunshine Yellow preferences. Looking for details and process? Earth Green and Cool Blue may hold the key. 

4. Kick Start Projects by Assigning Roles by Colour Strength 

Match tasks to people based on their dominant colour energies. For example: 

• Fiery Red: Lead the charge, drive deadlines 

• Sunshine Yellow: Bring creative ideas and energise the group 

• Earth Green: Support team harmony and consider stakeholder needs 

• Cool Blue: Ensure the detail is covered and the process is sound 

5. Bring Colour into 1:1 Conversations 

Use the language of colour in line management or peer 1:1s. Ask: 

• “What do you need from me today—Fiery Red challenge or Earth Green support?” 

• “Are we in Sunshine Yellow brainstorm mode or Cool Blue planning mode?” 

6. Use Colour Preferences in Coaching for Deeper Impact 

As a coach or mentor, adapt your style based on your coachee’s colour energy. Fiery Reds might appreciate direct feedback and action plans, while Earth Greens may prefer a more reflective, values-based approach. 

7. Reflect on Colour Energies in Conflict Resolution 

If tensions arise, consider how opposing colour preferences might be clashing. Understanding that a Cool Blue colleague values detail while a Sunshine Yellow one values flexibility can defuse misunderstanding and foster empathy. 

8. Recruit With Colour in Mind 

While colour energies shouldn’t define hiring decisions, using Insights in recruitment conversations can highlight team gaps or balance, and help frame interview questions to explore behavioural preferences. 

9. Embed Insights in Your Feedback Culture 

Tailor feedback based on the receiver’s preferences: 

• Fiery Red: Direct and results-oriented 

• Sunshine Yellow: Enthusiastic and encouraging 

• Earth Green: Thoughtful and relationship-centred 

• Cool Blue: Logical and specific 

This builds trust and ensures your feedback lands well. 

10. Revisit Your Profile Regularly 

You’re not static—and neither is your profile. Re-read your Insights Discovery profile a couple of times a year. Reflect on whether your dominant energies have shifted with role changes, growth, or new challenges. 

In Summary 
Insights Discovery isn’t a one-off personality test—it’s a dynamic tool that can shape how we work, lead and collaborate. By keeping the language of colour alive in your workplace, you create a culture of awareness, empathy, and communication that fuels performance and trust.
