Enquire nowāAt first I was unsure of the benefits that I would take away from the leadership development programme but I was amazed at the impact it had upon both my personal and professional life. I am now able to engage with colleagues in a more open and collaborative way, reduce conflict and improve communication within my family and friendship groups. I continue to use my learnings from The Colour Works in my daily life.ā
“The Colour Works has transformed our management team here at Electronic Materials – we now talk the new language of colour.Ā Weāve realised that sometimes one splash of colour isnāt enough and that together as a team we are stronger, enabling us to support one another and deliver company success.”
āI found the insights into how we work as a team invaluable in improving our team efficiency, performance levels and the joy of working together. Taking the time out to reflect and understand our different preferences and how they impact each other was illuminating. Our facilitator has a great passion for the product and captivates everyone’s attention from start to finish, challenging us to be our very best selves.ā
āThe Colour Works gave us an amazing team-building exercise for our whole organisation. It gave us all the skills to look at both professional and personal relationships and discuss with our teams and families. Our facilitator was fabulous. He made it fun and entertaining whilst providing a valuable learning experience both individually and as a team. There was a buzz in the air and the room was full of laughter.ā
āSeed used The Colour Works to run our team training day. As seasoned educators and trainers, the audience was tough and initially very pessimistic. They were all converted. Feedback from the team has been phenomenal ā way better than we had anticipated. What is more though, is that it has given us a language of understanding, a way of communicating and an appreciation of why we do the things we do. It really has transformed our team.”
