Insights and how they're reshaping the way we understand and interact with others.
People are wonderfully complex. From how we look, to how we speak, to how we show up in a room, each of us carries a different combination of experiences, motivators, fears, talents, and communication styles. Sure, we share similarities, but like snowflakes, no two people are truly the same. Yet in the professional world, we often reduce people to quick categories or surface-level assumptions. We use a myopic lens, job title, company, alma mater, and profile picture, as if those few data points tell the whole story.
But they don’t.
We are not the basic 8-count box of crayons. We are the full 64-count set, complete with all the shades, undertones, and gradients that make human interaction rich and meaningful. And when we treat people like they're working with only the primary colors, we miss the brilliance in their palette.
This is where Insights begin to matter.
The deeper visibility we get into someone's style, how they prefer to communicate, how they make decisions, what energizes them, and what shuts them down, creates a more accurate, empathetic, and effective understanding. Insight helps us move from assuming to appreciating. It helps us collaborate better, lead better, sell better, and connect better.
And here’s the truth most of us learn later than we should:
The more we understand ourselves, the more open we become to understanding others.
When you recognize that two people can both be exceptional yet drastically different, you stop looking for the “right” way to be and start noticing the harmony that comes from blending distinct strengths. Leadership, teamwork, and networking stop feeling like guesswork and become like composing your own multi-part melody.
And if we use them well, they make our professional world more human, not less.
