Connecting Colours works with teams of all sizes, from two to two hundred. We have a passion for large events where the entire organization comes together, but we feel equally at home in organizing smaller gatherings where every 1-on-1 relationship is part of the team dynamic. We create the right climate for the right team at the right time, and we build a solution that fits the number of participants involved.
Energy boost
We provide positive energy, which will continue long after our workshops. We empower people and start the dialogue. In doing so, we guarantee that your team members will understand themselves and each other better than before.
Action-oriented
We create movement! As a result of our workshops, many teams start, stop or intensify the discussed points/issues. We emphasize action in interaction.
Business applicability
There is always a clear business focus in our trajectories - they are not non-binding team outings without a business goal. For this reason, we take the time for a good intake to have the objective clear and to include it in the design and delivery of the workshop. We weave your terminology and specific challenges into this program.
Turn-key
Offering the highest quality and total care during the entire process is our unique added value. Thanks to our focus on Insights and DISC, an extensive back-office, our 4-colour office and contacts with first-class partners, we have everything in-house to really set up your complete event. However, we are of course just as happy with taking care of a part of the process!
Balanced learning
We understand better than anyone what makes people different and what everyone wants to get out of a team. That is why we offer a balanced mix for every learning style during our workshops: fun, focus, effectiveness and reflection. These ingredients ensure that the entire team goes home satisfied!
Multi media support
If you wish, we will gladly capture the most beautiful moments and process them into a lasting memory. We provide great workshops, and are also quite good at catchy videos!
Insights Discovery as an instrument
Often, the Insights Discovery model is the foundation for our approach. Whether it is creating, improving or challenging a team, we use our portfolio of Insights Discovery products to make learning safe, as a catalyst for future development, and to to ensure that what has been learned is retained.
MapsTell as a tool
We also like to use the MapsTell model. This visual methodology uses the DISC color language in the metaphor of "The World of Difference". It is an accessible and fun way to give teams insight into your personal preferences, each other's position in relation to each other and the journey you will take together.
Implementation methodology for development programs
To anchor the change, we use the PACE implementation methodology. A complete systematic approach to enthuse and activate the target group. With sufficient attention to securing the knowledge in the organization. Thanks to PACE, we ensure a lasting transformation to the desired organization.
Passionate team with industry expertise
Providing personal insight, working on teams and transforming organisations is people work. Our driven team are all driven professionals with their own specialism. As a team, they are optimally attuned to each other and are also happy to guide your team to the next level.
The most beautiful locations for workshops with impact
Location does matter! We provide our workshops from our spacious office at the foot of the Brienenoordbrug or on and around our 'safari' lodge on the Veluwe. We also provide workshops at the customer's location and online. Would you prefer a different location this time? We know the best places at home and abroad to make your workshop unforgettable.
Connecting team members, departments and organisations, that is what Connecting Colours stands for. We use our proven team model with the colour language of Insights and MapsTell. We create a safe environment where everyone feels valued and respected: where people can be themselves. Based on real preferences and without value judgement, we help to recognise your own strengths and challenges and those of the environment, and learn to appreciate the strengths of others.
We do not put people in boxes: we are all a unique combination of the four colours. If you know your own mix, you will better understand how the mix of another is. And then you can connect better. Once we have introduced the concrete colour language within your organisation, the future will look a lot more colourful and brighter!
