Looking for a Refresh?
|
|
Insights Refresh is a professional development one-day interactive workshop for Client Practitioners who are committed to maintaining their Accredited status by keeping their learning alive. While each program is adjusted to meet the needs of the registered participants, a typical day addresses questions such as:
- What exercises can I use to reinforce key messages in a personal effectiveness workshop?
- What do I need to remember when debriefing an individual's Insights Discovery Profile?
- How can I apply other chapters in the Insights Discovery Profile?
- What is common, and different, as you transition from an introductory workshop to Discovering Team Effectiveness or Discovering Leadership Effectiveness?
- What's the difference between an integrated Insights learning strategy and single event workshops?
- What new resources might fit with the needs in my organization?
The Insights Refresh is open to any Client Practitioner who has previously participated in an Insights Discovery Accreditation (IDA). If you are unsure if you should attend this session, please contact your Client Manager or the Insights Vancouver office.
The next scheduled CP Refresh is April 2nd. To register for this session or learn more, click HERE.

May IDA Filling - Next IDA October

2013 isn't much different than other years - Insights Discovery Accreditation sessions fill up fast, and we start putting names on a waiting list in case there are last-minute cancellations. This year, we're close to full so we'll soon start placing names of interested participants on our waiting list. If you want to attend the May Accreditation, please contact our office immediately.
Insights Discovery Accreditations are held in Vancouver twice each year, and they're open to candidates who want to use the Insights Discovery system internally as part of their organizational learning and development strategy. We also provide internal Accreditations for organizations that have 8 or more candidates. If you or someone in your organization is considering Accreditation, please contact your Client Manager or the Insights office to discuss the Accreditation process.
The next scheduled Insights Discovery Accreditation begins May 6, 2013, and enrollment closes one month prior. Don't be disappointed. Contact our office today for IDA registration details.

Team Transitions for Greater Success
|
|
Recently, a medical institution approached Insights Vancouver interested in shifting their culture. This work is tough and unrelenting in itself, and the change-weary teams saw themselves as highly dysfunctional. Insights Vancouver began by introducing a common language in order to help build trust with staff. All employees were given their Insights Discovery personal profiles and had an opportunity to spend a full day exploring Beginning the Journey with Senior Consultant Anne Bishop.
The rumbling began as three workshop dates were sought in order to accommodate all the participants. There were negative comments about being' forced to take the session', but once in the session, everything changed. The idea that we all 'co-create the teams we end up with' helped to center the locus of control within themselves. The enthusiasm built as participants recognized their strengths and realized what team diversity meant in terms of day-to-day interactions. People got excited about the possibilities. Teams who had been identified as "difficult" flew through the learning with a hunger for more.
The team wheel and team communication charts helped transition the learning to the workplace. Understanding the high levels of intensity of the dominant team energy has helped managers to view their teams through a different lens and start to shift the "how" of their leadership for more effectiveness and greater productivity.
With this solid foundation in place we will continue to explore the next steps in building the collaborative high-performing climate they seek.
