Mindset & Behaviour

Understanding more about the patterns shaping how you communicate, lead and respond under pressure.

‍
Personality, motivations, expectations and familiar ways of coping can all influence how we interpret situations and what we do next.

Greater awareness does not automatically change an established pattern. It can help you recognise what may be happening more clearly and notice other responses or approaches you may want to explore.

Discover Insights is the specialist personality and psychology part of my work. If you would like to explore that work in more depth, you can visit the Discover Insights website.

One part of the picture: DiSC

‍
Discover Insights brings together three different perspectives because no single model explains the whole person.DiSC helps us explore observable behaviour and communication preferences. Enneagram adds insight into some of the motivations and drivers underneath that behaviour, while Attachment at Work can help us explore patterns around trust, reassurance, independence and connection in working relationships.

Discover Insights

Practical insight into personality, communication and recurring patterns at work.

Sometimes you already know what you want to do differently, but changing the pattern is harder.

This may be useful if...

➡️You know what you want to do differently but keep falling back into the same response or behaviour
➡️Ppressure changes the way you communicate, make decisions or relate to other people
➡️Certain working relationships feel much harder or more draining than others
➡️You find yourself repeatedly overthinking, avoiding or second-guessing situations
➡️You are taking on greater leadership responsibility and want to understand yourself more deeply
➡️You want useful self-awareness without being reduced to a personality label

This includes three complementary assessments covering DiSC, Enneagram and Attachment at Work, your reports, preparation and a 45 to 60-minute online guided interpretation conversation.

Rather than simply sending you the reports and leaving you to make sense of them, we talk through what stands out, what feels accurate, what doesn’t and how the different perspectives connect with your own experience.

Your reports are yours to keep afterwards.
If you want to explore something further

‍
For some people, the insight from Discover Insights is enough in its own right.

If there is a particular pattern, relationship, decision or leadership challenge you would like to explore further, Discover Insights coaching programmes are available in blocks of three or six sessions. They give you more time to apply what you have learned, explore what may be keeping a familiar pattern in place and practise different approaches where that would be useful.

There is no assumption that you need to continue.

Understanding Each Other at Work

A practical team process using Discover Insights to help people understand themselves and one another better, communicate more effectively and strengthen the way they work together.

‍
People will experience communication, pressure, decisions and relationships differently. Difficulties can arise when we assume other people see things in the same way we do.

Each participant completes their own Discover Insights process and has an individual guided conversation before we come together for a facilitated team session tailored to that particular team.

The aim is greater understanding, fewer unnecessary assumptions and one or two practical changes in how people communicate and work together.

‍From £3,295 + VAT for the business owner and up to five employees.

Joanne has been hand's down the best coaching I have ever had in my career. So many valuable insights and takeaways that have helped me both professionally and personally. At times it was hard, always is when you turn the mirror on yourself but her curiosity, patience, caring nature and deep expertise was exactly what I needed to reframe and reset. Let's gooooo! ‍

How well do you know yourself? Do you believe you could know more and be better? I am a huge believer in – and advocate of – personal growth. I believe I can always know more and be better, so taking the opportunity to find out about my DiSC profile and learn more about myself and other people, was a no-brainer. Working with Jo has been hugely insightful. Exploring and understanding my DiSC profile has helped me to understand myself better, to better understand my strengths and weaknesses – and to be ok with that! In fact, it’s been incredibly freeing as it’s shown me blind spots that I didn’t know were there (yep, we all have them) and given me permission to be more fully ‘me’. It doesn’t stop there though, understanding DiSC profiles, has given me an even greater insight into other people. Having a sense of what ‘type’ of people are in my life – my husband, my family, my friends, my work colleagues, my clients and customers – has helped me to understand how to improve my relationships and interactions with all those people. Consequently, how I show up for those people has improved too. If you believe in people, and in the importance of investing in you and the quality of your relationships, then do not hesitate to book your DiSC profile session with Jo!

I met Joanne at an online networking event when she gave a 20 minute talk about personal strengths and weaknesses in business. It intrigued me so much that I contacted her and using her DISC system came up with a spookily accurate assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Because of this I have worked with her on strengthening those weaknesses and have successfully pushed my business forward and feel more confident in my abilities. I highly recommend Joanne's service to anybody and everybody in business and push on to the next level.

I worked with Joanne using her disc profiling coaching system which identifies your natural abilities and character traits. But it’s much more than that of course as she uses this analysis to not just put you in a box, but instead to really dig into how to make these factors and traits work for you rather than against you. She can help you not only see these traits, but understand why you may work the way you do, struggle with certain roles or tasks and how to adapt to work with your strengths.

My interest was first aroused in DiSC when I heard Joanne's presentation at a networking event. It was a logical step to attend Joanne's seminar on sales/networking. I found DiSC so fascinating that I booked my own individual assessment, report and coaching session. I was not disappointed. It was unnerving how accurate the results were. Not only was my own behaviour interpreted giving me a better understanding of how and why I react in the way that I do, but I was given valuable insights on how best to interact with people with different profiles. I only wish I had discovered this a long time ago and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Joanne recently spent a day with us profiling our team members. The findings and feedback from the exercise have helped my team members understand individual working styles and how to work better with each other. As a result, the happiness in the team is on the up and is their productivity. Fantastic news.
