WINGS were impacted by the realisations they had of each others’ thinking and behavioural preferences through the Emergenetics Profile, in particular to their least preferred attributes. The group activities where they had to exercise their least preferred attributes allowed the participants to develop understanding and empathy for their team members as well as appreciate the importance of language and intent in refining communication with each other for more effective and collaborative working relationships. With the understanding and knowledge gained, the team shared that they will now be more mindful in their daily interactions and continue to improve their methods of communicating with one other, so that they can achieve their goals and better serve the community.

"Happy", "Energised", "Grateful", "Enjoyable", "Aware" were some of the powerful one-word descriptions…that summed up the experience and value.
