The success of any business is based on the performance of its people. Capital City Training and Consulting (CCTC) is delighted to be able to offer Insights Discovery profiling. Insights provides people development programmes that help companies all over the world get the very best from their people. CCTC help people to perform at their highest level by improving their understanding of themselves. People can then easily adapt and connect with others, which leads to workplaces where innovation, creativity and productivity thrive.
The flagship model, Insights Discovery, helps people to understand themselves and others. It begins with an easy-to-answer 25-question online evaluator that takes about 20 minutes to complete. The individual then receives an Insights Discovery Personal Profile which highlights their strengths and weaknesses, communication style, approach to problems and their value to the team. It also includes possible blind spots, dealing with your difficult person and suggestions for development.
The profile outlines that everyone has a unique colour mix of four colour energies, referred by Insights as Sunshine Yellow, Cool Blue, Earth Green and Fiery Red. These make the model easy to understand and therefore use in practical day-to-day applications. Everyone has a different combination of these colours or traits. The colour energies refer to a set of characteristics which tend to be our most preferred or most natural way to be. When an individual understands this combination and why they think and act in the way they do, they can start to work more effectively with others.
When an organisation helps its people reveal their individual combination of colour energies, they are better equipped to stay motivated and engaged, whether working individually, in a team or as a leader.
CCTC delivers the profiles, training and workshops for your teams to help them understand the profile reports, to engage in the colour language of the model and to bring the theory alive to ensure they are able to use it on a daily basis for their own benefit and for that of the organisation.

Former banker turned entrepreneur. I successfully restructured, purchased, managed and sold a private engineering group, Steel Line Ltd, through an LBO and was also an equity partner in Corporate Training Group which my partners and I successfully sold to the AIM listed ILX group in 2006. I established Capital City Training Limited in early 2010 with my business partner Greg. We acquired MS Consultants a few years ago (so I’m still doing a bit of M&A). I have had non-exec roles for a small and growing VA/recruitment business and a fast-growing beverage logistics company. I am also an active investor.
