This is a short, positive 360 designed for team development and team-building events, helping colleagues acknowledge each other’s impact and contribution.
Unlike traditional 360 feedback, Inspiring Colleague is intentionally strengths-based and celebratory. It creates space for recognition, appreciation and shared understanding, supporting stronger relationships and a more positive team climate.
The tool works particularly well with intact teams, project groups and professional communities where the aim is connection and momentum rather than performance assessment.
What the model explores
Inspiring Colleague focuses on six aspects of everyday contribution that shape how people experience working together:
- Capability – the skills and expertise colleagues value
- Clarity – helping others understand goals, priorities and direction
- Collaboration – working constructively and supportively with others
- Confidence – contributing with assurance in ways that benefit the team
- Communication – communicating clearly, openly and respectfully
- Climate – helping create a positive, inclusive and supportive environment
Together, these dimensions highlight the behaviours that make a real difference to how teams feel and function.
Designed for team-building and appreciation
Inspiring Colleague is commonly used to:
- support team-building events and away days
- recognise contribution in a structured but positive way
- strengthen trust, connection and morale
- reinforce the behaviours that underpin a healthy team climate
Because the feedback is framed through a positive, appreciative lens, participants typically engage openly and generously.
Simple, inclusive and easy to use
With Inspiring Colleague you can:
- invite feedback from colleagues within a team or project group
- use the tool as a short standalone exercise
- combine individual reports with facilitated team discussion
- run sessions in-person or virtually
The emphasis is on shared learning and appreciation, not evaluation.
AI-supported insight
Inspiring Colleague can be delivered with optional AI-supported insight, including AI-generated summaries and access to an AI Companion within the dynamic online report.
These features help participants notice themes and patterns in how their contribution is experienced, while keeping the focus firmly on strengths, appreciation and positive impact.
