The Insights Discovery System


Presenter
: Rick Thomas
Tuesday, May 13, 2008

 


Insights Discovery System

  • How can you help your employees understand themselves better, and understand and appreciate the differences in others?
  • How can you build confidents in your employees and teams?
  • Imagine if you could find an engaging and practical way to help individuals develop themselves.
  • What if you could transform the way you do business?

Rick will provide an overview of the  and it's application within organizations.

During this engaging and interactive session, Rick will provide an overview of the Insights Discovery System™. You will learn just how Insights Discovery can assist you, personally, to become truly self aware. As a fun and meaningful component of the Insights Learning and Development’s learning solution, Insights Discovery is the first step on a path for individual, team and organizational transformation.

Using a blended learning approach, participants will be able to identify how Insights can help improve effectiveness in the five key areas of Individual, Team, Organization, Sales, and Leadership.

Underpinning Insights learning solutions are two unique and complimentary systems, Discovery and Navigator, which measure preference and capability. With foundations in the work of Carl Jung, Discovery helps individuals better understand themselves and others, enabling more effective interactions and organizational growth. Navigator is a powerful capability-based system which enables individuals, teams and organizations to measure performance against key indicators and to track and monitor progress and development over time. 

Join us as we explore Insights Discovery at an individual level and make connections to the applicability in your own, unique workplace context.

Over the Edge: Organizational Coaching for Change

Presenter: Kim White

Date: Postponed, stay tuned for a new date!

Crossing the great divide between what is known and what is new is a constant in today’s changing environment. As organizations adapt to emerging trends, we too must adjust our perception of how we see ourselves in this new structure.  In addition, as sponsors or agents of change we are often tasked with coaching others “over the edge” in order to help them to see the new horizon.

Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching combines the wisdom of Systems Theory, Process Work, empirical relationship research, interest-based bargaining, Taoism, and Co-active Coaching and offers individuals and practitioner of change a new model of identifying and addressing resistance.

This interact and highly engaging presentation will provide you with a model for understanding change resistance and offer you the opportunity to practice coaching yourself or others through new challenges of awareness.

Kim White has worked in the conflict resolution field at the Justice Institute and as a private consultant for many years.  For seven years Kim led the Respectful Workplace program at BC Hydro where she coached individuals and teams in conflict and assisted professionals and leaders in creating healthy and respectful workplaces.

She has provided services to local, provincial and federal government agencies, private sector organizations both locally and internationally including Accenture, Alcan, Island Tug and Barge, The Justice Institute of B. C.  and the Oppenheimer Food Group. Her current coaching practice includes mid and senior level managers adapting to organizational change who are required to enhance their leadership skills.

Kim is a passionate and fun facilitator. She has a B.A. in Psychology, is a M.A. (cand.) - Adult Behavioural Science (Counseling) Cert. Con Res. and is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC).
