Spotlight

Spotlight is a strengths-based profiling tool that helps you understand how you think, behave and respond in different situations. By exploring both mindset and behavioural style, it provides practical insight into your strengths and how you can become more adaptable in the way you lead, work and perform.

What is Spotlight

Spotlight is a strengths-based personality profiling tool that enables individuals and teams to improve performance, grow stronger relationships, and accelerate their development. It has been specifically designed to help people enhance their psychological and behavioural adaptability, helping them to think and act in different ways to meet any challenge effectively.

Originating from the world of elite sport, Spotlight is the only profiling tool to capture both behavioural style and mindset.

Bridging the gap

Spotlight bridges the gap between self-awareness and action, by not only providing insight into an individual’s personality preferences, but also concrete ways to enhance development, adaptability, and performance. Encouraging individuals and teams to build a greater understanding of themselves and others, Spotlight is built on the values of humility, curiosity, and tolerance. Spotlight starts with a profile, but expands into an intuitive framework for developing an adaptable mindset and flexible approach to problem-solving.

"At City Football Group, we’ve had a long-standing affiliation with Mindflick and wanted to maintain that relationship. While there are other great behavioural profiling tools out there, what sets Mindflick apart is its dual lens - combining behavioural insight with mindset preferences. This distinction makes it incredibly practical, applicable, and relevant for teams, relationships, and individual development, resonating strongly at every level."

"Spotlight is the preferred psychometric tool at NatWest Group, and for good reason. Whether it's building confidence, navigating career decisions, or managing performance reviews, the profile’s different sections offer powerful insights that help individuals maximise their strengths, adapt when they need and perform at their best."

Mindset

Spotlight contains two frameworks that explore mindset and behavioural style preferences. The COPE model is based on one of the only biologically-based models of personality, called reinforcement sensitivity theory. The COPE model explores four different mindsets, based on sensitivity to threat and reward, that we each need to tap into in different moments or situations.

Behavioural Style

The FLEX model explores four different behavioural styles based on a combination of factors from the ‘Big 5’ theory, one of the most scientifically supported models of personality. Both the COPE and FLEX models that have developed from these theories have been rigorously validated using cutting-edge Bayesian analytics.

Aligned to contemporary thinking in personality research, Spotlight firmly embodies the philosophy of adaptability and movement. The COPE and FLEX frameworks help individual’s to consider how they might get the most out of their strengths by considering situations from different perspectives. To truly thrive in an ever changing world, we need to be skilled at adopting the mindset and behavioural style that is most appropriate for the situation we are in.
