When you share your Behaviour insights with colleagues on the Connect platform, you help them understand your work style, which in turn fosters stronger connections at work.
Why sharing matters
Sharing your Behaviour insights can feel overwhelming. You may wonder, "What if people judge me?" or "Will this change how my colleagues see me?"
The truth is that your colleagues already experience your work style every day. Sharing your insights gives them the language to understand it better, turning unspoken habits into shared strengths.
Behaviour insights are not about putting yourself in a box; they enable improved communication, awareness, and collaboration.
Start with strengths
When viewing your profile or a colleague's profile, you will see that each person’s Behaviour insights also highlight their strengths. When sharing your behaviours with others, you can do it in a constructive way by framing it around strengths as this sets the tone for mutual understanding.
For example:
“I work best when I can produce consistent and predictable results, which helps me stay focused and deliver my best work.”
Sharing in your way
You do not have to do a big reveal. Start small. Share your insights when it feels natural, like during one-to-one conversations, team meetings, or even in casual moments.
For example:
“That is actually something that came up in my insights. I can be firm and strong-willed in my approach to work.”
The more these conversations happen, the more normal they feel. When others see you leading by example, they may feel encouraged to do the same.
Psychological safety: a shared responsibility
One of the biggest fears around sharing insights is that they will be misunderstood or used against you. Remember: insights should never be a tool for criticism.
If you are concerned about how your insights may be perceived, it is okay to guide the conversation:
“My insights say I work best in a methodical and consistent manner. That does not mean I cannot work under pressure, it just means I will do my best work with notice.”
If your insights are ever being framed around limitations, you can gently steer the conversation toward growth:
“I would love to use this as an opportunity to develop my flexibility. Can we explore ways I may practise that?”.
When everyone approaches these conversations with empathy and a mindset for development, psychological safety becomes part of the culture.
Connection starts with curiosity
When you share your insights, it is also an opportunity to invite others to share theirs. That is where real connection happens. Ask questions instead of making assumptions; different thinking styles are a strength. Choose curiosity over critique when faced with the unfamiliar.
Try asking:
“How do your insights say you like to work? Maybe we can find ways to support each other better.”

Final thoughts: It is a strength, not a risk
Sharing your Behaviour insights is a way to say, “Here’s how I work best. Let us find ways to work better together.”
By creating space for open, honest conversations, we foster psychological safety, one of the key ingredients for high-performing teams. It builds trust, promotes inclusion, and helps everyone feel more connected to their work and each other.
