Managing People Series with Insights Discovery

Real life isn’t simple – it’s complicated. So why not embrace it? Our seven immersive Managing People courses from 'Upskill People' are a master class in real-life, scenario-based learning, coupled with the power of Insights Discovery.  

Insights Discovery is a psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung. It helps individuals understand themselves and others, improving communication and teamwork. The methodology uses a four-colour model Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green, and Cool Blue to represent different personality traits.  Through Insights Discovery, people gain self-awareness, learn how to adapt their communication styles, and foster more effective relationships in the workplace. It’s widely used for personal development, leadership training, and team-building.  

Effective leadership isn’t one-dimensional, it requires the ability to adapt, connect with others, and make informed decisions in a variety of situations (as you’ll experience from seven managing people episodes) and through facilitated reflection and team coaching sessions with our Insights Practitioners and Professional Coaches. 

We bring energy, positivity and expertise to every course. All we ask of you is to raise your expectations of what L&D can deliver.

Expect:

• Immersive, scenario-based learning – not just long-winded text, slides and videos.
• Automatic measurement built in.
• Courses that enhance anything you’ve already got in place.
• Personal profiles and team insights that show how your new virtual team at Rise & Dine prefers to work and interact. 

Real working life comes with tricky situations, and a demand for strategic thinking. So we park the theory, and tackle reality head-on.

In episode two, the focus shifts to the wellbeing of the team, which is just as important as hitting targets. This episode dives into the often overlooked area of mental health in the workplace. Charlotte navigates the tricky waters of addressing wellbeing issues without causing upset. Through her experiences, managers learn how to recognise when someone on the team might need support, how to approach them, and how to be the kind of leader who not only leads but also genuinely cares. 

Starting a new job can be daunting, and episode four focuses on making sure new hires get off to a good start. This episode emphasises the importance of a well-planned induction process. Managers see Charlotte dealing with the consequences of a poor induction and how it affects team performance. Learn how to organise an induction that not only introduces new employees to the business but also sets them up for success by ensuring they understand their role and the company’s values. A good induction makes all the difference between a confident, capable team member and one who struggles from day one. 

Episode six dives into the art of appraisals, an essential part of managing people. The team needs feedback to know what they’re doing well and where they can improve. This episode teaches how to plan and deliver appraisals that are constructive and motivational. Managers see Charlotte dealing with unexpected reactions during appraisals, which shakes her confidence. Through this, learners discover how to keep the conversation focused, give clear examples, and turn tricky situations into opportunities for growth. A good appraisal isn’t just about pointing out problems, it’s about helping the team shine.
