"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky,
is by no means a waste of time.
~John Lubbock, "Recreation," The Use of Life, 1894
The first long weekend of the summer is now officially behind us - kids are out of school, and things have slowed down. NOT! It may officially be summer, but there's plenty of things happening here at Insights and with our clients.
Just like your place of work, we've got folks taking well earned vacations which means remaining staffers are doing their own work, plus keeping an eye out for colleagues'. And when we're vacationing they'll be covering for us. That's what team work is all about.
We're gearing up for a very busy fall, with trade shows in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, CP renewals in Calgary and Vancouver, Insights Discovery Accreditation sessions, and much more. We're also putting the finishing touches on a Face-to-Face portfolio event on Vancouver Island in September.
So, why not top up that iced-tea, take five, and catch up on the latest news and information from Insights Learning and Development?

There are now over 30 public and internal Accreditations every year across North America, which demonstrates how many organizations are choosing to bring Insights Discovery 'in house'. In Western Canada, we always end up with a waiting list for IDA sessions, so if you're considering attending an IDA in a city near you, don't hesitate.
CP Renewals
Looking to add some new tools to your workshop kit? Has it been a few years since your IDA? CP Renewals are one-day interactive session for Insights Discovery Client Practitioners committed to keeping their learning alive. Renewals are full-day 're-accreditation sessions' designed to extend your Insights Discovery certification for another three years.
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?
Calgary - Thursday, September 14th.
Vancouver - Wednesday, October 18th.
Toronto - Thursday, October 19th
