"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Harold Thurman Whitman

2017 Practitioner Events Calendar
We want to give you lots of time to plan your learning and development opportunities for 2017 so we've created an 'at-a-glance' calendar of upcoming 2017 practitioner events. You can download a copy of our calendar here and see what we have planned in the way of Face-to-Face (F2F) events, webinars, virtual cracker barrel sessions, networking events, Insights Discovery Accreditations and Client Practitioner renewals.
Watch this space for more details as we get closer to specific dates.

 Insights Discovery Accreditation
Toronto - Feb. 28-March 3, 2017 (Tue-Fri)
Calgary - April 25-28, 2017 (Tue-Fri)
Vancouver - May 2-5, 2017 (Tue-Fri)
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
A one-day interactive session for Insights Discovery Client Practitioners committed to keeping their learning alive. Renewals extend your Insights Discovery certification for another two 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, March 16th, 2017
Vancouver - Thursday, March 23rd, 2017
Regina - Tuesday, May 16th, 2017

December connecting events
 Thank-you to those who braved the winter weather to join us at our December networking events in Calgary and Vancouver.
While the temperature outside wasn't ideal, there was a lot of warmth inside as we had a chance to visit, catch-up on happenings around your offices, and share in the spirit of the season. We have a number of inquiries we'll be following up on over the next couple weeks, and if you've thought of something since them, feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
We've got another Practitioner social planned for June, so watch this space for details as the date approaches.

Looking for something to read during the long winter nights? Although it's a few months old,
here's a great list of 10 books every HR professional should read. Take a peek and hit your local library or book store. And just because they're focused on HR-folks doesn't mean there isn't great information in there for all of us.
Can respect make a difference?
This recent INSEAD article is based on a study of inmates - but the message is pretty clear and very powerful.
How do you ensure your writing is a clear and concise as possible? HBR recently posted
a great on-line article on how to improve your business writing.
