A full day built on the Insights Discovery profile for every delegate. Jungian preference theory translated into the language teams actually use — fiery red, sunshine yellow, earth green, cool blue.
Most workplace friction isn't about competence. It's about preference. The detail-loving cool blue reads the action-oriented fiery red as 'reckless'. The fiery red reads the cool blue as 'slow'. Both are good at their job. Neither has the language to bridge the difference — so the meeting that should have taken 20 minutes takes an hour, and both leave irritated.
This workshop is built on the Insights Discovery profile system — based on Carl Jung's preference theory, developed in the 1990s by Andi and Andy Lothian, and now used by over 11,000 organisations worldwide including 50% of the FTSE 100. We're a licensed delivery partner, which means every delegate gets a full Insights Discovery report ahead of the day.
The day is built around your team's actual Insights profiles. Delegates read their own report in the morning, walk it through their colleagues' profiles in the afternoon, map the team wheel together, and leave with practical conversations on adapting their style — not a workbook of generic types.
Built on Carl Jung's preference theory via Insights Discovery (Lothian)Every TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
Your strengths, your blind spots, your stress behaviours — the report is a mirror, not a verdict.
What they prefer, what they avoid, how they receive feedback — and how that differs from you.
The team wheel — where you're heavy in one energy and light in another, and what that means for decisions.
Three specific shifts when you're talking to each colour — applied to a real upcoming conversation.
Most workplace conflict is preference clash — naming it as such defuses 70% of it in the moment.
How Insights informs interview design and team fit — and why it must never be a hiring screen.
Full-day format shown. The half-day version focuses on the morning blocks with a condensed live round at the end.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
Insights Discovery is a full-day workshop by design — the personal profile, team wheel and live communication adaptation all need real time. The half-day variant covers the framework and individual profile only, without the team-wheel and conversation work — useful as a leadership team intro, but the full day is where behaviour change happens.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching — breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to — the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
