Discovering Colour Energy

At High 5 Events, we’re always looking for ways to strengthen our team and improve how we work together and the clients we work with, that's why we recently took part in an Insights Discovery session with Highlight People. Insights is a useful tool which uses four colour energies; Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue to help improve our understanding of communication within the team and when working with clients. By exploring our unique communication styles, we've unlocked new ways to collaborate more effectively, appreciate our differences and play to each others strengths.

Fiery Red: An individual leading with Fiery Red is someone who is bold, action-driven and thrives in fast-paced environments where decisions are made quickly. In communication they require clarity, efficiency, preferring people to be direct and get to the point quickly. Therefore, when you approach someone who leads with red, make sure you are keeping to the facts and need-to-know information

Cool Blue: People who lead with Cool Blue are thoughtful, precise and highly analytical. They take the time to reflect, ensuring clarity and accuracy in everything they say or do. Cool Blue communicators value professionalism and preparation and thrive in environments where logic and detail are respected.

Earth Green: Those who lead with Earth Green are grounded and values driven. In communication they value empathy, active listening and creating a sense of harmony. They're naturally supportive and prefer conversations which are calm, respectful and inclusive. Earth Greens thrive in environments where trust is nurtured and relationships matter and appreciate when approached with patience and calmness.

Sunshine Yellow: Individuals who lead with Sunshine Yellow are naturally enthusiastic, sociable and full of optimism. Their communication style is lively and expressive, often bringing warmth and energy into every interaction. They thrive on connection and creativity, preferring open, spontaneous conversations that allow ideas to flow freely. Sunshine Yellow communicators are great at inspiring others and creating a positive atmosphere, making them ideal for energising teams and sparking collaboration.

High 5's Insights

The team resulted in a great mix of the four colour energies but predominantly lead with yellow and green, this is not surprising as we work in a highly sociable and people-facing industry.

It was a fascinating experience where we gained valuable insight into how our communication styles differ and more importantly, how we can adapt our approach to better connect with colleagues who lead with different energies. The session proved to be both enlightening and practical and we would highly recommend Insights Discovery as a powerful tool for team development and enhancing workplace communication.

Insights Discovery is a great exercise for:

Sales teams to understand how to identify the colour energy of their customer's which will enable them to communicate effectively
Line managers to learn how to best support their team and play to their strength whilst supporting their weaknesses
Teams who would benefit from being brought together and understand the needs of each other.
