Conference highlights

Thank you to the LPs who were able to join the Live and in Color conference last month in Chicago. The conference was an overwhelming success providing attendees even more growth strategies for practical application than expected.

After attending 12 sessions over two days, participants returned to business with valuable new perspectives and approaches for delivering Insights Discovery to address business challenges in today’s workplace and equipped with new sales and marketing strategies for increasing revenue.  During interactive workshop activities LPs learned ways to fuel their business by identifying their core strengths. 

An overwhelming abundance mindset was shared by many throughout the conference and was further highlighted in success stories presented by five LPs each explaining their experiences on their individual roads to success.

 

The better we partner together, the better we partner with you

Insights leadership team members relished participating in sessions and connecting with LPs. Alex Keay, Head of Global Inside Sales and Indirect Channel and Lisa Fagan, North America General Manager spoke about a focus on strong partnership, inviting LPs to provide suggestions for value added solutions to Insights offerings and thoughts on what success looks like in 12 months.

Attendees enjoyed an inspired session from Insights CEO Andy Lothian introducing the concept of Ikigai and Insights’ strengthened commitment to making positive community impacts and increased partnership opportunities.  Andy encouraged everyone to, “Rediscover the human in your communities, your partnerships, and your relationships.”
