In January 2024, the Tenmile Land team attended a training by Sharon Werdebaugh, founder of Your
Talent Team to inform and facilitate discussions around personality types and
workplace interactions. The system used for this training was Ntrinsx – a program described as
“Social Intelligence for a culture of respect.” Each team member was invited to take a
short assessment to determine the combinations of colors that best represent their
behavioral tendencies, including Blue, Green, Orange, or Gold.
During the training, each color was explained in detail, providing information on how
we view ourselves, each other, and even the world. We worked to understand how best to
interact with our coworkers and the driving forces of each color – how they prefer to receive
information, what motivates them, and how they respond under stress. It provides a unique
perspective into the way we work together, allowing for individuals to see how they fit within their
environment and how best to communicate with others.
Each report provided insight into the traits contributing to our unique makeup and
ways to bring value to Tenmile Land. Not only does the Ntrinsx assessment provide helpful
information relating to workplace interactions, but family and social life as well. One beneficial
component of the assessment and training is the detailed breakdown, which provides insight
into how to understand people, communicate, change, and engage, and how individuals
interact in conflict and under stress. This is important as most people behave differently at
work versus with family and friends.
“The Ntrinsx methodology is based on a deep understanding of temperament.
While our behavior will change based on the situation we find ourselves in, and our
character changes constantly based on our life experiences, our temperament’s core values don’t change.
So, let’s try to show respect for each others’ core values. We will not only improve interpersonal relationships but also bring out the best in each other as a team to achieve results that are the natural outcome of a high-performance culture.” *
A tagline of Ntrinsx is a spin on the Golden Rule and to “treat others as they want to be treated.”
Which fits right with the Tenmile Land way of life.
