Our Team

What we do:

InSights Group deploys social media strategies for teams and organizations, and launches persona branding campaigns for individuals and entrepreneurs.

 

What InSights is all about

The InSights Group started out as a collaborative coworking facility, based on the fact that when Sandi and Allan were looking for office space they couldn’t find anything that would fit the needs, and have enough parking. They ended up taking on a 6,000 sq. ft. space in an industrial warehouse. Converting the space to a cozy, friendly, fun place to be, the InSights Clubhouse was a gathering place and inspiration center, bridging the space between left brain and right brain thinking, and exploring creative new ideas.

 

In late 2010 an offer came in to relocate the business, so they did, moving it across town. With the move came some transition. Instead of working on the breadth of gathering more people to the community, the focus shifted to depth. In the new space, the mastermind meetings became deeper, more philosophical, and even more helpful for the people involved.

 

The consulting business is growing because Sandi and Allan take a philosophical approach to the process. Anybody can teach you how to push buttons. Getting you to understand why you are involved in the conversation, and how to influence it in a positive growth oriented way is part of the process.
