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 .
