The Disco Ball Theory

At first glance, a shard might not seem like much.
It’s a broken piece of mirror—jagged, imperfect, easily overlooked. Some might even see it as trash.

But in the hands of an artist, those shards are gathered, honored, and transformed into something extraordinary: a disco ball.

Each shard catches the light in its own way.
Each one tells a story—of strength, of struggle, of growth.
Alone, a shard might sparkle a little. But together, they become brilliance.

When the light hits the disco ball, it doesn’t stop.
It reflects and multiplies—shining on everyone nearby, helping them shine too.
That’s the magic of SHINE.

At The Inspired Team, we believe every shard matters.
Because when we choose to Spark Extraordinary, Help Others Shine, Ignite Authenticity, Never Stop Growing, and Embrace the Adventure—we don’t just build teams.
We build disco balls of possibility—brilliant, connected, and alive with light.

Alone, we sparkle. Together, we SHINE—and our light reflects outward, helping the world shine brighter too. ✨

What Makes Us Different?

Aside from unicorns, shenanigans, and a sh**load of knowledge and experience, our 3 Uniques are:

Forget the framework frenzy — we match the tools to YOUR truth.

We don’t start with the assessment—we start with your goals. Then we match you with the tool that actually solves the problem.

Whether it’s leadership gaps, communication breakdowns, or team dysfunction, we choose what fits you, not what fits a standard template.

Straight-up pricing. Seriously smart tools. Sparkle optional, results guaranteed.

No mystery math here. Our flat-rate packages include up to two assessments, chosen to match your goals—not your budget.

You’ll never have to sacrifice the right tool because of price. Add-ons? Totally optional. Clarity? Always included.

Real change needs more than a workshop. We deliver coaching, follow-through, and measurable impact — so the work actually works.

Most teams are handed a report and left wondering, “Now what?” Not with us. Every package includes three months of built-in coaching & implementation support. We help you turn insight into real action, behavior change, and leadership growth that actually sticks.

Our 3 Step Process

We get clear on what’s really going on—and what’s at stake if nothing changes.

We start with a deep-dive needs conversation to uncover what’s not working, why it matters, and what’s possible with the right support. From there, we propose the best-fit package and assessments to match your goals, not a one-size-fits-all solution. If it’s a fit, we move forward together.

No guesswork. Just the right tools to uncover what your team truly needs.

Through 1:1 team conversations and carefully selected assessments, we identify key strengths, stressors, and patterns impacting your culture and results. We analyze the data and deliver a clear strategy plan you can actually act on.

Workshops, insights, and coaching that complete the cycle.

We guide your team through our powerful Decode | Align | Shine framework with custom workshops, custom reports, and three months of ongoing coaching to help your people implement what they’ve learned, solve what’s surfaced, and stay focused on what matters most. The goal isn’t just clarity—it’s lasting transformation.
