Teams that don’t gel become fragmented. Conflict and division can arise and relationships can break down. Team cohesion can make or break an organisation and managing an unhappy team can be timely. A team that is fragmented can mean the customer or stakeholder loses out, vital information is missed and ideas don’t develop.

A happy, motivated team, working together with a shared vision and a clear direction however, will be more productive, creative and innovative. Happy teams record less absenteeism, give more discretionary effort and are more likely to remain loyal, working for you and your organisation. Not everyone will always get on, but understanding each other and celebrating strengths and differences is more desirable and productive than division.

 Using psychological research and neuroscience, we help leaders and individuals understand their own working and thinking styles and identify their strengths and the strengths of others. This opens the door to improved teamwork, leadership, customer relationships, creativity and problem-solving. This fun, enlightening and dynamic workshop creates a deeper understanding of your team’s dynamic and encourages delegates to expand their ability to motivate others and communicate effectively.

Add in Insights Discovery - become a self-awareness and social intelligence ninja Insights Discovery is a psychometric tool based on Jungian psychology - try saying that after a few drinks at the team away day. It’s hugely popular with businesses and can be used for individual performance or wider team development. It increases self-awareness and improves communication, decision-making, and, ultimately, performance

How can Insights Discovery support your learning and development?

At Laughology we know learning and development isn’t a tick box. It’s showing you care about your people and your business. Rather than just a day out of the office or a few hours on Zoom, it's continuously learning about ourselves and others.

Any learning journey starts with self-awareness and this can lead to real breakthroughs in building relationships, teams, and your business. Because when people truly understand themselves and others, the potential is huge. People can only play to their strengths and development if they know what those are.

And this is where Insights Discovery can help. It’s not Jedi mind tricks either, just some simple self-awareness tools that can help you find out more about yourself and your team. Answering questions such as:

  • Why does Ian from accounts wind me up so much?
  • How come I find it really hard to communicate with Trisha in HR?
  • Is my leadership style more Joe Biden or Joseph Stalin - and how can I be better, as neither is appealing?!
  • Why does change make me grumpy and stubborn?

When you learn these superpowers, the world - and the people in it - will make a bit more sense to you.

How does Insights Discovery work?

The process starts with an online evaluation. Don’t worry it’s not a snore-fest; it only takes about 20 minutes to complete and comprises multiple-choice questions.

Upon completion of this, a personal profile is then generated providing in-depth insight into individual strengths and weaknesses, communication style, approach to problems, and the value added to the team. It uses a four-colour model to highlight key personality preferences and associated behaviours.

And to put the cherry on the top of your Insights cake, It also includes suggestions for development that can be put into practice the very next day. 

Once you’ve got your profiles and your associated Insights colour, we can then directly support you in the Laughology way - hello, Curly Wurlys. We facilitate workshops using Insights Discovery and Laughology’s methodology combined - quite the dream team, we can assure you.

If that’s not enough to float your L&D boat, we can also use this to support one-to-one coaching.

So by the end of it all, you come away with a greater understanding of how others tick and how best to communicate with them. Say goodbye to questioning your leadership style or butting heads with anyone. Just a more harmonious way of working with those around you.

Winner.

Transformation, managing workloads and facing challenge are some of the trickiest things to get right. Most leaders and managers will have been in a situation where teams or individuals feel helpless and struggle with these things, choosing to focus on the negatives. This leads to a range of difficulties, including low motivation, disaffection and lack of engagement.

If you can’t adapt as an organisation, you can’t progress. The best and most productive organisations are the ones where people are encouraged to find the positives in situations rather than fear challenge and fall into patterns of catastrophic thinking. Dealing with change positively is a skill. It develops resilience. Organisations with the ability to do this, record better levels of wellbeing and productivity. Resilient humans are happier and healthier.

I loved the whole session. Everyone was laughing the whole way through. However, I also enjoyed some of the theory behind it all and will really try to use some of the knowledge in my day to day life.

Poor communication blocks progress and stifles relationships. If your message is misunderstood or unheard, how are your staff, your clients, your customers or your stakeholders supposed to connect with you? Effective communication is one of the fundamentals every manager and leader needs to master, yet it is commonly cited as one of the skills most lacking in people and organisations.

Getting communication right leads to better relationships throughout an organisation and closer cohesion between people and departments. But positive communication isn’t purely about speaking. It’s about understanding different communication styles, listening, body language, tone, adapting your message to the situation and a myriad of other nuanced factors. Master these and master the art of making yourself understood.

In Laughology’s Positive communication and relationship building workshops we use the expertise we have developed from our background in performance and psychology to decode communicative nuances and deliver a comprehensive, engaging, fun and entertaining investigation of communication. 

We're feeling the love!

I enjoyed the different style of presentation and the humanness and humour of the facilitator. All participants have fed back that the day was really useful particularly when working across different team’s and being able to have a greater understanding of how to influence and communicate to other styles of working.

As a graduate, it can be intimidating putting your point across in meetings and understanding where to pitch a relationship with a client. I found the theory really useful and practical exercises helped me understand how I would use this in my work
