We’ve realized something very important over here at InSights. Our Tribe is a great source of inspiration to us EVERY DAY, and we haven’t talked to you about that nearly enough. We had an amazing experience this week thanks to the members of our Tribe, and the awesome event that Brighton Ford put on with their Friday morning business expo. Brighton Ford provides tents and tables where local businesses can interface with each other and the public, at absolutely no charge. We reserved our table, and planned to have a great time at the event, just like we did last year, by getting around and meeting everyone there. Unknown by us at the InSights Group, several of our members asked to be put near our table, and during the week they each said to us “We asked to be next to InSights. We’ll watch the table for you, so that you and Al can do what you do best!” Who does that without being asked? We love you guys!! Our members also offerd to share tables with one another, and in the true spirit of InSights bring a sense of community and positive optimism with them wherever they go.
Are we creating the ability for people to bring this sense with them, or are we just lucky enough to attract these wonderful like minded individuals? I do believe it is a little of both. Our members already have the spirit, we’ve just gotten enough of them together that we see it clearly through the CULTURE of those around us. The culture and spirit is contagious, and it just keeps working around the group, full circle.
The event was a huge success, and we mixed and mingled with the best of them. Did I mention the Twister game? I spot down at the end of the lot a huge red and blue contraption that looks like a bouncy house. At closer glance it is acutally a giant, bouncy game of Twister. We quickly rounded up anyone with the “InSights Spirit” and called an impromptu game. We had so many volunteers that we had to play several rounds. Our resident personal trainer, Kimo, won every round (talk about an endorsement for True Body Fitness!)
In one day the members of our tribe volunteered without asking, met the challenge, and literally JUMPED IN with both feet when the opportunity presented itself.
Who are you surrounding yourself with in your TRIBES?

Thanks Sandy,
The energy of our tribe is what keeps us going in the right direction.

The culture of a tribe IS the tribe. Tribes don’t HAVE cultures, tribes ARE cultures. You’re right, Sandi, the culture of InSights Group needs to be talked about never-endingly, because that’s what makes its members show up time and time again. Like attracts like, and the helpful and caring culture of InSights continues to attract helpful and caring people. We’re on an amazing roll!

The tribe at InSights is wonderful and so varied. Everyone is welcome and treated with respect, from a new company to one that’s been around for 10 years! And, everyone is eager to help you!
I got my DBA and started my company in March. The first thing I did happened to be going to a meeting at InSights! I was lucky! I felt at home and inspired. After the meeting I felt I could make my dream come true! It’s only been 2 months and with help and support from my tribe openDesign is growing and I’m making it work! I don’t know where I would be without them; they are my friends, my think tank, my bouncing wall, my library filled with a wealth of knowledge.
But, the most important thing my tribe is – it is positive. There is never the thought of you can’t do it. Or the economy is bad, why try something new. It’s always… Go for it! And here is how we can help you!
