Insights Global
 Greetings!
We're putting the finishing touches to our upcoming Annual Regional Conference.

We don't want to belabor the issue, but it's important to whoops remember that this year, we're moving to larger space at the FOUR SEASONS HOTEL Vancouver - located at 791 West Georgia.  If you show up at the old location, you're going to miss out on a great day of learning, sharing and networking.  (We've even gone so far as to remind our own team members so they arrive at the right venue!)

Also this month, news about other upcoming events presented by Insights Vancouver including the first-ever Deeper Discovery Experience to be offered in the Vancouver area. 
Personal Breakthroughs lead to Business Breakthroughs
Conference 2011 Breakout Session

That's the theme of this year's Insights Vancouver Annual Regional Conference. 

 

Attendance for this event has grown every year to the point that we are moving to a bigger, brighter space at the FOUR SEASONS HOTEL in Vancouver. This expansion will allow for larger breakout rooms and more breathing room during the conference. 

 

The fabulous Mike Jones, head of Customer Solutions for Insights Global will be the keynote speaker. Mike has played a pivotal role in the development of innovative, leading edge, customized solutions for clients around the world. Expect an engaging, enthusiastic, and enlightening session guaranteed to keep you smiling while you learn.

 

This year we will continue to provide practical exercises and resources you can put into immediate action.  There will be a wide array of 'Cracker Barrel' sessions scheduled for the morning, and expanded deeper Breakout sessions offered in the afternoon. Refreshing your learning and helping you remember some of the resources at your disposal will always be a key focus. Networking time has been maximized to allow you time to connect with others in the growing Insights community of practice to share (and steal) great ideas.

Deeper Discovery Experience December 4th

Insights officially launched Deeper Discovery this fall...and we are very excited to offer the first Deeper Discovery Experience in our region on December 4th.  

 

Deeper Discovery is a natural next step in personal growth and professional development. It has been 11 years in the making, and provides the deepest, most profound level of self-understanding provided by Insights yet.

 

Focused on professional development and personal growth, it is designed to unlock individual potential by uncovering a new level of awareness. The goal is to gain personal breakthroughs that lead to business breakthroughs. Using Archetypes of Discovery as a lens, individuals embark upon a journey of improved self-understanding.

 

Building on the simple and accessible Insights Discovery colour energy model, Insights Deeper Discovery is a deep, insightful and thought provoking experience for individuals and teams. As with Insights Discovery, participants complete a short online evaluator. One of the outputs is a 13 page personality profile, which explores their hopes and fears, and the legacy they wish to leave.

This natural extension of Insights Discovery uses the new Deeper Discovery Wheel to help  

participants discover their potential in an engaging and memorable way and apply their learning to the workplace.

 

Insights Deeper Discovery is ideal if you want to:

  1. Build on the insight gained from Insights Discovery and take the next step in your learning
  2. Explore individual, team and leadership effectiveness in a deeper way
  3. Enhance a long term program of development by making it deeply meaningful to every participant
