Insights Discovery Profiling
The Insights Discovery model is based on the work of Carl Jung. It has gained worldwide recognition over more than 30 years of application. It can be used for individuals or teams, and is particularly effective when used in conjunction with coaching.
We implement Insights Discovery in a broad portfolio of work in corporate, charitable and educational settings with both students and professionals.
