Issue #154, February 28, 2026 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month’s newsletter completes the three explorations of identity, and focuses on how we can know ourselves deeply beyond our egos and find a rich world of soul and inspiration within. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Who Are You? Part 3 - The Deep Intelligence Within Our previous two newsletters delved into our sense of identity - the commanding role of thought in creating our moment-to-moment reality and how invisible and sticky our thoughts about ourselves can be. We also explained

Issue #153, January 30, 2026 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month’s newsletter digs deeper into the exploration of identity - what it is, what it does and how to see it in a new light. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Who Are You? Part 2   In our December newsletter (#152), we shared about the nature of our personal identity. Specifically, we discussed how powerful thought can be, and how it generates ideas that become the “reality” of how we perceive ourselves. In this newsletter, we look a little deeper

Issue #152, December 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! “Who we are” is mostly discussed from an outside-in paradigm, especially at this time of year (visits with the relatives, New Year’s resolutions, etc), but when you truly understand how the mind works, it looks completely different. This month’s newsletter explores identity - what it is, what it does and how to see it in a new light. Happy Holidays. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Who Are You? Part 1 Do you ever feel down about yourself or doubt your ability

Issue #151, November 28, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Life is full of uncertainty but that doesn’t have to be a problem or a source of suffering. Find out why/how in this month’s newsletter. Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Uncertainty? You might have noticed - there is quite a bit of uncertainty going around these days. Whether it's the political climate, the state of the economy or changes at work, there are many moving parts. Where it will all end up is anyone’s

Issue #150, October 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month Robin points to our ability to have power in our lives or not, independent of the circumstances. There seems to be no better time to know this! All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Agency or Complaining - A Choice I had a coaching call last week with a client who complained mildly about a situation. He said something interesting, “I have no agency.” I wanted him to say more so I asked him how he was thinking about the situation,

Issue #149, September 30, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! These are complex times, in the business world and in society in general. Given this context, it’s really useful to remember where the power is behind our human experience. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Who's Got The Power? With all the changes going on in the world and within organizations, it's really easy to feel that things are out of control and that you are a cork at sea, tossed around in the middle of a large storm. Objectively, things are

Issue #148, August 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! All of us have problems, concerns, and issues that need to be addressed. Some of these are mundane and relatively simple to handle - they get solved without much effort. Others are much more complex and seem to evade solutions. They can inhabit the back of our minds, periodically calling out to us and upsetting our peace of mind. This month Robin and Sandy suggest there’s a way to look at them that can really help. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles We All

Issue #147, July 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! This month Ken, Robin and Sandy spotlight a powerful innate capacity: intuition. Something we all need to rely on more, especially in these complex times. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Intuition: A Precious Friend Have you ever been in a situation where despite the complexity or the unknowns, you saw what to do? You didn't have to think about it. There were no mental gymnastics, no mental pros and cons or internal debate. You just knew. The mind has the ability to understand

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 #145, May 30, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Life gets interesting when you find yourself doing everything but the task at hand. This month, Nikki Platte offers a refreshing take on procrastination - maybe it isn’t such a villain after all? All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Why Procrastination Isn’t “Bad” We've all been there – knowing that we need to finish that important presentation while somehow finding ourselves searching for that perfect Spotify playlist for the third time this week. If procrastination was an Olympic sport, I know I might have

Issue #144, April 30, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! The world is an interesting place these days and we all have a lot to think about. This month, we explore the topic of worry. We hope it’s helpful. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Worry is the Worst Worry. That jittery little voice in your head making predictions before your morning coffee has cooled. It says your client might cancel, your strategy won’t land, or that typo in your email could tank your reputation. It makes all of these things feel real and

Issue #143, March 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Uncertainty abounds right now, especially in the business world. Tariffs, fluctuating markets, unexpected challenges… it’s a lot for any company to navigate. The good news? As Nikki Platte reminds us, remembering your Insight Principles training can help you stay grounded and effective through all sorts of turbulence. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Navigating Uncertainty Most of us are conditioned to see uncertainty as something to fear. But when we recognize that uncertainty itself isn’t stressful—it’s only our thoughts about it that create stress—we

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 #141, January 31, 2025 Welcome to Insights and Implications! Back in 2021, our end of year newsletter was authored by our dear friends and colleagues at One Solution Global.

They share the same understanding as Insight Principles to help communities solve global challenges from within. Their work is inspiring. Feel free to check them out: https://onesolutionglobal.org/.

Issue #140, December 31, 2024 Welcome to Insights and Implications! A short note from us to wrap up the year and reflect on all that has been. All the best, All of us at Insight Principles Taking A Breather This can be a strange time of year. At work, year-end tasks and deliverables abound, usually pulling in lockstep with holiday-related responsibilities at home. At the same time, most of us have at least a few days, if not more, to disconnect from the fray and spend time with our families and/or friends. This combination of Go and
