"I paint the picture to find out what it looks like."
Pablo Picasso
Wow! This has been a winter for the record books in some places. Whether you're on the West Coast or the Prairies, we've all had snow drifts and shoveling to contend with. The good news is the ground hog didn't see his shadow, so we
should be in for an early spring.
Whatever the weather, we've got a number of events lined up for the next few months, including a
February webinar, a
Vancouver Island portfolio event, Renewals and Insights Discovery Accreditations and more. If you haven't got a copy of our upcoming practitioner events, the 2017 calendar is
available for download.
So we invite you to put down the snow shovel, top up that mug and take five to catch up on the latest news and events from Insights Learning and Development.

Insights Discovery Team Effectiveness Model
|
Friday, April 28th
Develop the confidence and competence to deliver Discovering Team Effectiveness sessions within your own organization.
We know getting over to our training centre in Vancouver isn't always an option, and Practitioner Development is important to us. So this year, we're undertaking live training events on Vancouver Island in association with some of our clients. This event will be hosted by the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens' Services at their training facility in Victoria. In exchange for their use of this facility, we're providing complimentary attendance for their Client Practitioners - and you don't have to leave the island to get this great face-to-face portfolio event. Join Client Relationship Director Deborah Lang on April 28th for this full day experience.
Each participant will receive a Discovering Team Effectiveness Workshop Journal as well as Facilitator and Coach Notes and PowerPoint slide deck.
Part experience and part instruction, this full day event will expand and strengthen your ability to deliver powerful Team Effectiveness learning events within your organization.

Grasp a growth mindset
This is not news, but it's safe to say that with the global and political landscape constantly shifting, we are all going to face a lot of change. Maybe it's at home, or work, or a change in what you do and how you do it. We'll all face upheaval in the status quo, and we'll need to adapt in order to survive.
Fay Younger, Learning Consultant for Global Clients with Insights, offers a few thoughts on how we can not only survive the changes and challenges we know we'll face - but actually thrive in the experience. She offers her ideas here.

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 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.
