    Optional Lumina Spark and Lumina 360

    Phase 1 – Lumina Spark Behavioural Profile

    • Natural behavioural preferences
    • How behaviour adapts at work
    • Potential overextensions under pressure
    • How others may experience their style

    Each participant completes the Lumina Spark questionnaire — a globally respected psychometric tool that provides a deep understanding of personality preferences and behavioural tendencies. This forms the foundation for all meaningful development conversations.

    Phase 2 – Individual 1-1 Insight Consultation

    • Understand their personality portrait in practical terms
    • Identify strengths they bring to the team
    • Recognise potential blind spots or overextensions
    • Reflect on how their behaviour influences colleagues

    Each team member receives a confidential one-to-one consultation to explore their Lumina profile in practical terms. These conversations ensure individuals arrive at the team session with clarity, openness and readiness to engage.

    Phase 3 – Bespoke Team Development Workshop

    • The collective Lumina Team Portrait
    • The team's shared strengths and potential blind spots
    • Areas where behaviours may clash or create tension
    • How communication preferences differ across the team

    A facilitated team development day designed around the specific needs of the group. Using Lumina Team insights, the workshop helps the team explore how their individual personalities combine to shape team dynamics - creating a safe and structured space to talk about behaviour openly.

    Frequently Asked Questions


    What is Lumina Spark?

    Lumina Spark is a globally respected psychometric tool that provides a nuanced understanding of personality preferences and behavioural tendencies. Unlike some assessments, it avoids fixed type labels - instead showing how behaviour can shift depending on context and pressure.

    Do all team members need to complete the questionnaire?

    Yes - for the team workshop to be most effective, every participant completes the Lumina Spark questionnaire and receives their individual profile. This ensures everyone enters the day with personal insight and a shared vocabulary for the conversations ahead.

    Can this be delivered virtually?

    Yes. Programmes can be delivered in person or virtually depending on organisational needs. The individual 1-1 consultations work well remotely and the team workshop can be facilitated effectively online for distributed teams.

    How is this different from a standard team away-day?

    The psychometric foundation makes the difference. Because every participant arrives with personal insight into their own behaviour, the team conversations are more honest, more meaningful and more likely to lead to lasting change. It is development grounded in evidence, not just activities.

    Is this suitable for a team that is experiencing conflict?

    Yes - and in fact this is where the approach can have the most significant impact. The structured, psychometric basis gives teams a neutral and constructive framework for exploring difficult dynamics without it becoming personal.
