If you’re an HR Consultant who wants to offer something your competitors don’t, something that instantly makes clients trust you more and rely on you more… this episode is for you.
I sat down with Tom Vivace — People expert, L&D specialist, and Founder of Viva People — to unpack why colour profiling is one of the simplest commercial advantages any HR consultant can add to their business.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- Why colour profiling cuts through drama and turns complex behaviour into a simple, shared language.
- How it helps you diagnose problems before they become grievances.
- Why it’s easier to sell than you think — and why clients usually refer you after doing it.
- How you can use it to coach leaders, build better teams, and add real value to every proposal.
- The truth about natural vs. adapted behaviour, and why understanding both changes the way you work.
So if you want a simple, affordable, high-impact service that helps you stand out from every other HR consultant… tune in.
This might be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.
