Team Wheel
Once a team has completed the Insights Discovery online evaluator, we are then able to create their “Team Wheel”. This allows the team to effortlessly understand:
- Possible strains and stresses between individual team members – how to adapt and connect to those ‘not like me’
- Strengths and possible weaknesses – where are we strong, what are we not doing, what could we be doing better?
- Meetings – how they can be even more effective in structure, clarity and output.
- Culture – how are our behaviours representing the team culture?

Dalia Davis
Director of Operations at Seed
Seed used The Colour Works to run our team training day. As seasoned educators and trainers, the audience was tough and initially very pessimistic. They were all converted. Feedback from the team has been phenomenal – way better than we had anticipated. What is more though, is that it has given us a language of understanding, a way of communicating and an appreciation of why we do the things we do. It really has transformed our team.
Karen Rayfield
Director of People & Performance at Helping Hands Home Care
I found the insights into how we work as a team invaluable in improving our team efficiency, performance levels and the joy of working together. Taking the time out to reflect and understand our different preferences and how they impact each other was illuminating. Our facilitator has a great passion for the product and captivates everyone’s attention from start to finish, challenging us to be our very best selves.
Helen Baxter
People & Culture Manager at A-Gas Electronic Materials
“The Colour Works has transformed our management team here at Electronic Materials – we now talk the new language of colour. We’ve realised that sometimes one splash of colour isn’t enough and that together as a team we are stronger, enabling us to support one another and deliver company success.”
Paula Lavan
Head of Procurement at Brammer Buck and Hickman
At first I was unsure of the benefits that I would take away from the leadership development programme but I was amazed at the impact it had upon both my personal and professional life. I am now able to engage with colleagues in a more open and collaborative way, reduce conflict and improve communication within my family and friendship groups. I continue to use my learnings from The Colour Works in my daily life.

Kate Turner

I thought your presentation style was pitched perfectly to deliver the overall message, and you seamlessly interweaved the stories shared by the participants. I came away motivated, inspired and armed with some tools and ideas to best support those around me in the year ahead.

The Colour Works gave us an amazing team-building exercise for our whole organisation. It gave us all the skills to look at both professional and personal relationships and discuss with our teams and families. Our facilitator was fabulous. He made it fun and entertaining whilst providing a valuable learning experience both individually and as a team. There was a buzz in the air and the room was full of laughter.
