Armed with lots of post it notes and plasticine, another group of Richborough new starters stepped into the world of Insights Discovery!

Ethan Swift, Matt Parry, Melissa Slaney-Smith, Connor Wigley, Kirren Channa, Kharam Choongh, David Moore, Freddy Stephens, Lewis Godsmark and Shareen Mitchell were all part of the session, where they found out more about each other’s personalities and how t0 work together effectively.

A couple of big themes stood out: the power of being curious (not judgemental) and truly stepping into each other’s shoes. When we slow down and aim to understand a colleague’s perspective, our conversations become more honest, constructive, and impactful.

Emma Fardell, Chief Finance and Operations Officer at Richborough said: “At Richborough we strive to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, heard, and able to contribute their best.
“Insights Discovery helps us celebrate our differences and embrace what makes each person unique. When every team member is empowered to share ideas and play to their strengths, we all win.”

The session was led by Kate Pheasant and Michael Pheasant of MEE Consultancy
Kate Pheasant said: “Thank you to everyone who brought openness and humour to the session. We hope that we’ve helped build a team that places curiosity, empathy, and meaningful conversations are at the very centre.”
