What Spotlight looks like in practice
Feb 11, 2026 4:12 pm
Hi ,
I wanted to follow up and share a recent example of how Spotlight has been used with a leadership team as it often helps to see what this work looks like in real life.
I was asked to support a new leadership team at a community project who wanted to improve how they communicated, made decisions together, and worked effectively when not everyone could be present.
We used Spotlight profiles individually and collectively, followed by a facilitated team session. The focus wasn’t on fixing problems, but on understanding how each person thinks, communicates and contributes and agreeing clear ways of working together.
The outcome was a leadership team who:
- were clear on how to communicate and make decisions together
- trusted each other’s judgement and perspectives
- had a shared understanding of what was needed next
- felt confident enough for the everyone to step back, knowing decisions would be well considered as a collective.
They left the session feeling aligned, energised and genuinely appreciative of one another with a clear plan for moving forward.
What mattered most to the team was creating a safe, open environment where honest conversation could happen made all the difference. So much so that they have recruited another leader and she too is completing a profile to embed into the new team dynamics. I must say, their selection of the leader absolutely filled their empty chair!
This is the kind of work I’m now offering more intentionally, both as individual Spotlight refreshers and as a broader team-based approach.
If you’d like to:
- revisit your own Spotlight profile (30-minute free call)
- explore a refresher session (£150 throughout March)
- or talk about how Spotlight could support your team further
You’re very welcome to reply to this email or book a short call below.
