The Unforgettable Insights
In my role as a Senior Performance Consultant, I have gained accreditations in various specialist psychometric and behavioural tools over the years. The Insights system and methodology is a powerful instrument which can help individuals learn about themselves, and others, in building relationships, increasing productivity and in real terms, can increase an organisation’s profitability. Since my accreditation with Insights, I have debriefed over 400 profiles. One of the amazing concepts with Insights is the easy to understand and engaging debriefing sessions, which actively involve participants in learning about the different personality types. The Insights practitioner acts out the colour energies with props and this actively grabs the attention of the learner. The interactive games and discussions, together with the colourful visuals and slide presentation are really a show in itself. The well-designed sessions and interactivity are just one reason why individuals walk away and remember the Insights message.
Almost all Insight evaluations are the same – “The Insights tool will help me in my role”, “I really love Insights”, “The session was interesting and entertaining” and the list goes on and on. In the field, the Insights message becomes part of people’s lives. One client requested that the partners of all the managers that attended an Insights session also have their profiles completed. The managers spoke so highly of Insights tool, they wanted to make it part of their personal lives. I believe Insights is still the number one tool on the market, which is easy to understand and use, it actually becomes imbedded into your way of life. Insights is truly unforgettable and we will continue to promote and use this tool in organisations that value performance, values and diversity.

Every Event was unique and highly successful and participants raved for weeks afterwards
As I depart these Australian shores for the sands of Bahrain, let me say most sincerely, thank you very much for your personal efforts and the efforts of your Insights team throughout the many and varied events you created for us over the past six years. Every event was unique and highly successful – tailored to meet the needs of each team at the time, and supported by a robust development framework and assessment tool. Without fail, participants raved about each event for weeks afterwards, and in our quarterly social gatherings, many of the experiences are re-lived and described in the most favorable terms. The team spirit and culture that you have helped us build continues to grow from strength to strength, and is the envy of other external teams.

A New Language has emerged within a historically somewhat dispersed and disconnected organisation.....Many Skeptics have been converted
It has truly been a great journey with Insights .... A new language has emerged within a historically somewhat dispersed and disconnected organization and as we were traveling we have “converted” many skeptics, primarily because Insights has a unique combination of,· scientific rigor, · impactful and simple presentation,· powerful training interventions,· excellent Insights representatives wherever we went around the world.
Right now, the seeds have been planted at The Nuance Group, over the next 2-3 years the hard work will need to continue in our organization. This year was good, hopefully we can say that is was great in some time from now. I am convinced that my successor Simon Dawson will continue with the same, or even more passion behind this.
By the way, I am looking forward to seeing Insights for kids being further developed. I think it is a HUGE opportunity
Come 2007, I’ll see if I can convert some bankers at UBS
Kind regards

This has resulted in a much more effective sales force that is able to maximize opportunities with their customers as well as leaders that have confidence in sales coaching
It gives me great pleasure to give this following testimonial for Aisling Monahan and Insights given the high level of support they have given Nuance Australia and New Zealand over the last 18 months. Implementation of the Best Selling program represents the largest investment that Nuance has ever made in it’s people (over 10,000 training days globally in 2006 -07) as well as a major cultural shift that affects every aspect of our business. This has resulted in a much more effective sales force that is able to maximize opportunities with their customers as well as leaders that have confidence in sales coaching. This has been evident in the increased effectiveness as recorded by our unique Best Selling Mystery Shopping program that covers 27% of our sales force every quarter.
As is evident from the programs listed above Nuance has a serious ongoing and consistent approach to investing in the development of our greatest assent ‘our people’. We see our strong relationship with Insights as key element of the successful maintenance and future high level implementation.

I was Skeptical...but the Insights Profile detailed me to a Tee!
I was skeptical as I answered the personality questions, but was really surprised that the Insights Discovery Personal Profile detailed me to a tee! I have gone back to the report many times over the past few months as it has helped me to not only understand myself but the relationship with others.
This has certainly improved my working life, my career and my personal life - I would recommend to anyone the benefits of doing it."

I gained a new Job Promotion!
I Gained a promotion/job more in line with what I have been wanting for years. The Insights Discovery Profil provided an insight into the different types of personalities, enabling me to recognise those different types and interact with them accordingly. This has been particularly useful for team work. Overall the Insights Discovery profiles have delivered better communication between individuals and groups.

Biggest learning..identifying my own personality type
My biggest learning insight from the profile was identifying my own personality type and, consequently, my opposite type. One of the key action points identified below is more effective interaction with my opposite personality type. 3 actions I intend to take as a result are, 1) Meeting the needs of my opposite personality type and 2) Meeting people half-way - both in terms of initiating small talk with strangers, and in general interactions. 3) Resisting the urge to introduce long-winded, complex solutions to straightforward issues - specifically in the workplace.
Jonathan Smith, Optus
It highlighted my lack of Red Energy and the impacts on my life
The most interesting aspects of the Insights personal profile was how it highlighted my lack of red energy and the impacts of this on my life. Actions I intend to take as a result are:1) Frequently remind myself that I add value Affirmations are being used to wind myself up.2) Embrace red energy at work and home...use it. 3) Be clearer & more forceful regarding my needs and wants. 4) Trust my own decision making. 5) Be open for more presentations.
