Issue #156, April 30, 2026 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month we explore a superpower that we all have. Happy reading! All of us at Insight Principles Reflecting - An Unconscious Superpower Imagine you were born with a superpower but no one told you. It has been helping you out all your life, but the whole process is unconscious. Maybe you noticed an aspect of it though you likely misattributed the source and the access so you could not use this power purposefully. When you don't know how something works, it's hard to use

Issue #146, June 30, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Oh, innovation. Companies can’t survive long-term without it. And sometimes it’s hard to find. In this month’s newsletter Nikki and Robin explain how we already have built-in everything we need to innovate. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Effortless Innovation When people discuss innovation, it’s good to distinguish the what from the how. Folks generally agree on the “what” of innovation: generating new useful/valuable ideas or insights. We usually find disagreement around the “how”. You have the (1) harder-faster camp (e.g., brainstorming) and the

Issue #142, February 28, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Life often feels busy. It seems normal that we don’t notice lots of things. This month Nikki Platte point us towards noticing, noticing that we can notice, and what that can do for us! All the best, All of us at Insight Principles The Power of Noticing I was on a walk with a friend the other day when she told me about something she’s noticed lately. “I was talking to my Mom and I suddenly realized my shoulders were completely tense. Since then, I’ve realized that I’m always tense

Issue #127, November 30 2023 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Sleep: so sweet when it comes, so hard when it doesn’t. If you’ve ever endured a night of insomnia, this month’s newsletter is for you. We hope it’s helpful. All of us at Insight Principles Thoughts on Sleep Around 8 years ago, when my kiddo was a toddler, I endured a long period of horrible insomnia. Much of this was rooted in my relationship to being a working mom. It was tough. The hardest part, I think, was what I’ll call the “insomnia meta-stress.” I’d have a rough night of sleep,

Issue #94 - February 26, 2021 Welcome to Insights and Implications! The human mind has the miraculous capacity to turn whatever we think into a reality complete with sight, sound, and feeling. Without this capacity we would not experience life. In the newsletter this month, Julia Rebholz from our UK team shares some insight about the mind’s reality-creating capacity and how it can create mental havoc when we forget how the system works. All of us at Insight Principles A Universal Human Dilemma We have the capacity to think a multitude of things about ourselves, and we do a lot

Issue #66 - February 25, 2019 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month, Robin Charbit shares what he sees about the mind’s capacity to bring insight. To borrow a phrase from Mick Jagger, “We can’t always get what we want...but we get what we need.” Thanks Robin for your contribution. All of us at Insight Principles Not Getting What You Want? Sometimes you get what you don’t want. I’m not referring to the ugly socks you got at Christmas. I’m referring to events that happen that are unplanned and unwelcomed. An extreme example is the death of someone dear. Or

Issue #47 - July 30, 2017 Welcome to Insights and Implications! We received this newsletter contribution from Ken Manning’s son Zander. Thanks Zander. Wishing you the best in your final year of school and all the years after. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Time: The Greatest Illusion We Face On June 9th, 2014, I walked onto the UMass campus for the first time as a freshman and, on the same day, I got my first piece of advice: “Enjoy your time here, before you know it you’ll be graduating. Time flies.” I got the same advice

Issue #46 - June 30, 2017 Welcome to Insights and Implications! We received a question after last month’s newsletter and would like to address it. We love your questions, so please keep them coming. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles How Do I Do It? After last month’s newsletter (Our Design for Success) we received an interesting question, one which we’re asked often. “What habits or steps do you do to help you consciously monitor your thinking and its impact on your feelings?” This question pinpoints the most difficult part of our work at Insight Principles. Over

Issue #27 - November 30, 2015 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month, Robin explains how things like stress and impatience can melt away with the power of realization. We wish all of those celebrating Thanksgiving in the US a warm and wonderful holiday weekend. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles The Power of Realization When I first came across the understanding of the principles we share with clients, I was impressed by the effect I observed. A wide array of capacities would manifest – patience, kindness, the ability to concentrate without effort, curiosity, and, of course,
