Insights Global
 Greetings!
Insights Logo

     The smell of sawdust and fresh paint mixed with drywall dust and the roar of power tools as Insights Vancouver offices underwent a 'colourful' and contemporary renovation last month.

 

     Our expanded print and production centre will help us keep pace with the rapid growth of Insights in BC and beyond. 

 

Integrated Learning Strategies
During the summer months, many key clients took the opportunity to review their learning strategies for the upcoming 12-18 months.  With many clients already having a solidvideoimage platform using the Insights Discovery system, we see an increased focus on building team effectiveness and developing effective leadership at various levels within the organization. 

If you haven't already seen the video on the Insights Vancouver website, it provides an introduction to the different paths you might take.  Anne Bishop warns that, "It is in Scottish."  For support in developing your organizational learning strategies contact your Client Manager, or Ken Blosser.

 

IDA Refresh September 27: LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER

     This program is designed for Insights Discovery Client Practitioners who participated in the accreditation process more than three years ago and have a desire to 'refresh' their learning, and for those more recently accredited who want to add the latest information and models to their training and development programs.  This session will be held in Victoria and will be customized to meet the needs of interested participants.   

 

    This IDA refresh is almost full so if you are interested in participating please contact your client manager immediately, or send an email to info@insightsvancouver.com or visit our Contact Us page.

Executive Assistant Walks the Extra mile - and then some!

     Eight years ago, Insights Vancouver's Executive Assistant Sharyn Skalnik founded the 'Everyone's Daughters Team' and started walking in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers Walk in Vancouver.  

 

     Since then, she's hiked nearly 500 kilometers and raised over $18,000 for this important cause.  To read her story, and other stories about Insights Vancouver team members commitment to social issues, click HERE

High-tech Team Building

     Over the summer, Insights Vancouver Senior Learning Consultant Kim White worked with a newly formed team of seven international sales leaders.  This team specializes in technology and services for the management and security of computers, networks and portable devices.  Working with Insights Vancouver, they are continuing to build on the strengths of their team and using their new-found understanding of their team's strength to rapidly grow their business.
