PERSONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
SEEING INSIDE YOUR BUSINESS SELF WITH C-ME
South West-based firm, Smart Coaching & Training an organisation designed to help transform businesses and their people is using a powerful tool called C-me Profiling.
Halina Jarowszewska
Created in Bath by Wilsher Group, the C-me profiling tool is designed to get the best from yourself, your team and others. Cme uses colour profiling to help you identify key personality traits. It gives you valuable insight to communicate more effectively, develop better teams and excel at what comes naturally.
Halina Jarowzewska, a leadership and strategic consultant at Smart Coaching & Training reveals what surprises some people have had after completing their C-me profiles.
Short and accurate; honest; a mirror; discoveries – I’ m a people person; that’ s not me was an absolutely me; so sure I knew me and realised there’ s more to me than I imagined.
Understanding gained regarding: how, when, why I react as I do; what my natural persona and adapted persona reveal; my capacity if I choose to shift behaviours to create advantage; facing up to things is actually easier than refusing to acknowledge; how much I lack confidence of my convictions.
Red – wear it! Make conscious decisions re the preference to use depending on client and / or situation; recognise when revert to type and make assumptions re communication rather than be conscious about the others preferences; recognise that I don’ t have to continually practice the aspects that I excel at rather to leave space for others to develop their least preferred preferences.
Profile report gave me an opportunity to assess and harness both natural and learned skills to get my dream job; improve my leadership and negotiating skills; the wealth of detail so concisely presented; easily assimilated information that I could apply immediately
Searcys puts health and wellbeing on the agenda
Long have we known, that we are what we eat, with the rise of the‘ superfood’ and its benefits for both body and mind. Being a mindful business is also a current trend, with many companies now embracing the benefits of investing in the health and wellbeing of their staff.
Searcys, the caterers at Bath’ s Historical Venues have introduced a new Feel Good Conferencing menu as a step towards healthier minds and to celebrate Bath b eing voted as the UK’ s number one Feel Good City.
The spring clean menu is bursting with fresh produce and the idea is to not only energise and rejuvenate, but also satisfy hungry appetites throughout the day.
Searcys have introduced an exclusive smoothie recipe from Alice Liveing, popular author of the‘ Clean Eating Alice’ Body Bible, alongside simple meats, vegetarian options, a wholefood salad bar and fresh fruit pots.
Charlotte Andrews, sales and events manager at Searcys Bath Historic venues said:“ With local produce being a key focus for the Searcys team, delegates can be confident in what they are eating and reassured that only the finest ingredients are used. Think smoked salmon bagels, energy shots for the breaks, and then roast pepper and courgette tart or green thai curry and lime and coriander noodles for lunch. You’ ll want to taste everything.”
Available for conferences and events at the Assembly Rooms, Roman Baths and Pump Room, Guildhall and Victoria Art Gallery, the menu starts from £ 24.50 plus VAT per person and includes a Kick-Start for the day, Mid-Morning Pick Me Up, Energiser Lunch and Mid-Afternoon Recharge, with optional boosts to add that extra spring in everyone’ s steps and make sure focus remains throughout. Contact: events. bath @ searcys. co. uk for more menu options and further details.
Interestingly gave me permission play to my strengths; to be positive, spontaneous, optimistic with senior colleagues rather than seeking permission to do be so; the most and least effective ways I communicate have been worth weight in gold; these 2 pages have saved our team from misunderstandings, miscommunications, miserably convoluted meetings instead giving us ones that are clear, measurable, enjoyable.
Seriously consider wearing clothes that remind you of a colour preference you need to raise; get conscious about which colour’ s preference is playing centre stage; be conscious about making choices rather than falling into those that don’ t serve you well; ability now to dissect world around me and give me options, a range of behaviour opportunities

Expect and challenge colleagues and clients to use the hidden gem of their natural persona as well as their adapted one; expand my range by pulling on‘ red’ without compromising yellow / green
So... the benefits noticed: reflection, clarity, encouragement to play to strengths; enhanced both professional and private life; recognising C-me as a starting point from which to develop and grow; know why I am intolerant of detail; be more at ease if things go wrong. It’ s all about observing oneself in action and tweaking behaviour to influence the results.
