LYNETTE'S STORY
Lynette Beer's Story
Every day, you have the power to change your story. This truth, lies at the heart of ours.
The beginning of our story is interweaved with that of Lynette Beer, who is inspired to best use her talents and fulfil her life purpose through helping to unlock true human power and potential. For many years, Lynette struggled to form truly meaningful personal connections and was unhappy with her life in general. On a professional level, she found it exceptionally challenging to collaborate with others in the workplace, which in turn led to stress and anxiety, as well as a sense of inadequacy and unfulfillment.
The watershed moment
For Lynette, that watershed moment occurred when she realised that the alpha and omega of almost every single human issue, are relationships. To be content personally, and to be successful professionally, you must firstly have a healthy relationship with yourself, and secondly, have the ability to develop symbiotic relationships with others. And to accomplish the latter, requires a solid understanding of self and others.
A genius fusion of ancient philosophies and modern principles
With this realisation in mind, Lynette set out to demystify and simplify the dynamics of people. In the process, she discovered a proto-psychological theory formulated by ancient Greek philosophers that suggests that all people can be classified into four fundamental personality types. Based on this theory, she ideated the Four-Colour Temperament Model© that is simple enough for anyone to understand and easy to incorporate in daily life and work practices.

Award-winning results, global recognition
Lynette then implemented this Four-Colour Temperament Model© at the company where she was working at the time. The results, were simply astounding. The company’s turnover no less than tripled within three years and earned Lynette an Award for the Most Innovative and Successful Business Concept in 2007. Soon after, she was also invited to present the concept in London and at Times Square. Subsequently, the model became an internationally recognised human behavioural model, and Lynette was positioned as a global thought leader in the field of human behaviour.
The dawn of Seeds of Inspiration
We say: “Amen to whoever said that we were not born to play small.” Lynette was both humbled and overwhelmed by the tangible and life-changing impact of implementing her Four-Colour Temperament Model© in her own life, as well as at work. Then, she asked herself a question that altered the course of her life thereafter, irrevocably: “Imagine the wave of change we could set in motion, if we taught this concept to as many people and companies as possible?” She then walked away from her two-decade plus cushy corporate existence to do just that, and, as they say: “The rest is history.”
The inspiration behind Seeds of Inspiration
The name Seeds of Inspiration was born from one of Lynette’s ‘aha’ moments. That moment when she grasped that every word we utter, has the potential to plant one of two seeds which she refers to as “the two e’s that either empower or eradicate.” Naturally, to know how to empower people, you must understand them, which forms the very basis of our Four-Colour Temperament Model© and all our teachings.
The birth of an international author
One of the ways in which Lynette could reach the maximum people and create optimal impact, was through writing books. Today, Lynette is a renowned published author with a myriad of top-selling self-help books that are all essentially aimed at empowering people to step into the highest versions of themselves and inspire greatness in others.

Establishing a legacy for future generations
William Ellery Channing captured it best when he said: “It is greater work to educate a child, in the true and larger sense of the world, than to rule a state.” Sub-divisions and Associations of Seeds of Inspiration include:
- EQ4Kids is an Emotional Intelligence Development Programme for children aged 3 to 11 years. This programme focuses on the social and emotional development of children, while enhancing general life skills in the process.
- Wired Flip the Switch is a programme which focuses on exploring and developing the self-esteem of 12- to 18-year-old learners/leaders to thereby empower them to contribute positively to the group as well as society.
- Teach to Reach is an empowerment programme for teachers who wish to reconcile their calling with the challenges that they experience in practice.
- Seedlings is a non-profit organisation, aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and the relevant negativity in the broader community, through upliftment in schools. Hereby children are assisted to discover their true identity and vision, and thus create a new future.
