Insights Discovery® Workshops
Build self-awareness and transform how your people communicate and work together.
Who We Work With
How Insights Discovery®
works in practice
Insights Discovery® is a simple, four-colour model based on the psychology of Carl Jung, designed to help people understand themselves, understand others and get the best from their working relationships.
It builds self-awareness, improves communication and creates a shared language across teams. Using four colour energies, it helps people understand their style, strengths and the value they bring.
From there, we apply it in different ways depending on what your people need and the challenges you’re looking to address. We design workshops around real situations, with a focus on helping people apply what they learn day to day.
Juicing The Lemon is a licensed Insights Discovery® provider, and every workshop is facilitated by an accredited Insights Discovery® Practitioner. Workshops are delivered in person or virtually — from small teams of 6–20 to large-scale keynote events of 100 or more — across the UK.

Insights Discovery® Workshop FAQs
What happens in an Insights Discovery® workshop?
An Insights Discovery® workshop combines individual self-awareness with practical team development. Before the session, participants complete an online evaluator which generates their personalised Insights Discovery® Profile. During the workshop, an accredited practitioner brings those profiles to life through discussion, exercises and practical application.
At Juicing The Lemon, we don’t want people simply to leave knowing their colour-energy preferences. We want them to understand what it may be like to work with them, recognise what colleagues with different preferences may need, and identify small changes they can make in real conversations and relationships.
The profile starts the conversation. The value comes from what people do differently because of it.
What workplace problems can an Insights Discovery® workshop help a team solve?
Insights Discovery® can be particularly useful when a team is experiencing misunderstandings, poor communication, silos, friction, difficulty collaborating or simply very different ways of approaching work.
The colour-energy language gives people a neutral way to explore those differences. Instead of deciding that a colleague is difficult, too slow, too direct or too detailed, people can become more curious about why someone may approach a situation differently and what they could flex themselves.
At JTL, however, we don’t start with the colours. We start with the workplace problem.
The question isn’t ‘How can we use Insights?’ It’s ‘What does this team need to do better – and how could Insights help?’
When is an Insights Discovery® workshop not the right intervention for a team?
Insights Discovery® is a powerful tool for self-awareness, communication and working relationships, but it isn’t the answer to every team problem.
If the underlying issue is unclear strategy, poor organisational structure, inadequate resources, unresolved performance management or a decision that leaders have simply avoided making, a personality-preference model will not solve that on its own.
Sometimes Insights is an excellent way into a challenge. Sometimes it needs to sit alongside other work. Occasionally it isn’t the right intervention at all.
At JTL, we would rather understand the problem first and recommend the right approach than make every problem fit an Insights workshop.
The starting point should be the problem you’re trying to solve, not the workshop you’re trying to buy.
Can Insights Discovery® help with poor communication, silos or conflict in a team?
Yes – these are exactly the kinds of team challenges where Insights Discovery® can provide a useful shared language, provided the workshop goes beyond simply explaining personality preferences.
For example, a colleague who appears overly direct may be focused on pace and results; someone who seems resistant may need more time, evidence or involvement. Insights helps teams explore those differences without making one approach right and another wrong.
But colour should never become an excuse for behaviour. ‘I’m Fiery Red, so I’m just direct’ isn’t the point. The more useful question is: ‘Knowing my natural preference, what might I need to flex to work more effectively with this person?’
Understanding difference reduces judgement. Adapting what we do with that understanding improves relationships.
What makes the difference between an enjoyable Insights® workshop and one that actually changes how a team works?
A memorable workshop and an effective workshop are not necessarily the same thing. The real test is what people do differently when they are back at work.
Across more than 1,500 JTL workshops, we have learned that application matters. People need to connect the model to real colleagues, real conversations and real situations. They need practical opportunities to experiment with different approaches and a reason to revisit the learning afterwards.
That is why we design around the team’s actual challenges and encourage people to identify small, intentional changes they can practise immediately.
The workshop creates the shared language. What people do with it afterwards creates the lasting value.
How do you use Insights® colour energies without stereotyping or pigeonholing people?
Insights Discovery® should create curiosity about people, not certainty about them.
Everyone has access to all four colour energies – Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue – in a unique combination. A preference can help us understand how someone may be more comfortable communicating or working, but it does not tell us everything about that person or predict exactly how they will behave.
At JTL, we encourage people to move away from labels such as ‘She’s a Blue’ and towards questions such as: ‘She may value more detail and time to think than I naturally do – what could I adjust?’
We call that the 5% Flex: small, intentional adaptations that help you connect with someone else without asking you to become a different person.
The colour energies should create curiosity, not certainty.
How should an Insights Discovery® workshop be tailored to the needs of a particular team?
The Insights Discovery® model provides the foundation, but the workshop should be designed around the people in the room and what the organisation wants to achieve.
Before delivery, we talk with clients about what is happening in the team, what is already working, where the friction sits and what they would like to be different afterwards. We can then shape the emphasis, exercises and conversations around those priorities.
A newly formed operational team may need something very different from a senior leadership team navigating change. A team struggling with feedback may need a different application from one dealing with silos or decision-making.
The best Insights workshop isn’t necessarily the one containing the most Insights content. It’s the one that helps that particular group address something that matters.
We've already done Insights Discovery® - what should we do next?
If your team already understands the colour energies and has Insights Discovery® Profiles, you don’t need to keep teaching them Insights. The next opportunity is to use the shared language to tackle real work.
That might mean applying Insights to feedback, difficult conversations, delegation, decision-making, trust, accountability, leadership or change. It can also be as simple as revisiting team preferences before an important project or asking what different colleagues need from a meeting or conversation.
JTL offers focused follow-up workshops and practical activities designed to keep Insights alive without making it feel like another initiative.
You don’t need to keep teaching people Insights. You need to help them keep using it.
What evidence is there that Insights Discovery® can change behaviour and deliver business value?
There is evidence that Insights Discovery® can support measurable behaviour change and business value when it is applied effectively, but we think it is important to be precise about what the evidence does – and does not – prove.
An independent behavioural impact study involving 345 learners across five regions reported increases of 35 to 54 percentage points in how consistently participants said they adapted their behaviour to work effectively with others. A separate documented sustained programme reported a return of up to £20 for every £1 invested.
Those results should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every one-off workshop will produce the same return. They show what can be achieved when the learning is well facilitated, relevant and kept alive over time.
A successful workshop isn’t just remembered. It’s used.
How do I choose the right Insights Discovery® workshop and provider for my organisation?
Start with the outcome you need rather than the workshop format. A good provider should want to understand what is happening in your team, what you want to change and how the learning will be applied afterwards.
Ask how experienced the facilitators are, how the workshop will be tailored, how much opportunity people will have to participate and practise, and what support is available after the session. Also ask whether the provider is prepared to tell you when Insights is not the right solution.
Juicing the Lemon is a licensed Insights Discovery® provider. We have delivered more than 1,500 workshops, empowered 9,500 people, produced more than 5,200 Insights Discovery® reports and supported more than 325 organisations.
