This course is for people who are looking to get more out of the life they have. INSIGHT is for you if …

• You have a desire to learn and grow without having to 'do more,' 'push,' 'try harder' or 'strive' anymore.

• You're looking for learning that sticks with you. When something has an effect on a deep enough level, it sticks – plain and simple.

• It's time to step back and see what really matters and look at your life in the bigger picture.

• You want to clearly understand where things like fulfillment and resilience come from.

• You're ready for a life changing experience.

These simple principles have the power to profoundly impact the way life plays out for you, your relationships, and what's possible for your future.

You will get immediate access to the course and you can watch it at your own pace (although we still recommend you watch one lesson a week).

As soon as you get access to the platform all of the course is accessible 24/7 for you to view when it is convenient for you.  Please keep in mind that the course is designed to take you through the process of learning in a very deliberate way.  You will get the most out of the course if you give yourself time between lessons to reflect on and absorb what was presented in the lesson before moving on.  Leave at least a few days to a week between lessons (and ideally no more than 2 weeks between lessons).  You may be so excited and motivated to go through faster than that.  This course belongs to you and you may take it any way that you want, you know your own learning style.  We suggest that you at least try the one lesson a week schedule to see if it works for you and if you decide to binge watch it, we recommend that you revisit the course at a slower pace soon after you finish the first pass.

The course was created, designed and implemented by Kara Stamback, Erika Bugbee and George Pransky.  The lectures are presented by George Pransky, Ph.D., the founder of Pransky and Associates and the pioneer of the Principles in the field of Psychology.  Kara and Erika, partners at Pransky and Associates, host the course, serve as narrative guides, present the animated stories, and facilitate the discussions with the guest speakers for each lesson.  

We designed this online course with both new and seasoned students in mind. The course is based on simple principles that explain how our mind and our thinking works.  These are broken down and explained very clearly in the course, and so no prior knowledge is necessary.  If you have heard of, learned or studied these principles before, the unique expression and the depth of the presentations will serve to further your learning in a structured learning environment. 

This course is designed to have a significant impact on the quality of your life and to have a lasting effect, to stick with you.  However, like anything else, the more you keep the learning alive and look for the relevance in your life, the more continuing benefit you will see.  This is one of the reasons that we made all of the components downloadable and why we give you access after the end date of the course.  We recommend that you revisit the material after the 8 weeks is done.  You will find that it has a very refreshing effect and that you hear things that you didn’t hear the first time around.  Revisit the lessons you liked most or the ones you don’t remember.  Participating in the Facebook forum is also an excellent way to refresh what you’ve learned and keep your learning alive.  You also may find that you would like to take the next step in your learning and consider signing up for a coaching package or our four day intensive.

Once you have completed the course your password will allow you access for as long as the course exists online.  You are also welcome to download all of the components of the course in audio or transcript format and view it offline whenever you’d like.

We put a tremendous amount of planning into anticipating your questions and incorporating answers into the course but questions may still arise as you participate in the online course.  There are several resources to field your questions: 

• Private Facebook Forum

• Two Q and A sessions (recorded webinars).  At the time these webinars were recorded they were populated by real questions from participants that were at these very points in the course (lessons 4 and 7). When you listen to them you may hear your own questions represented. These are a rich source of content that is different from the rest of the course content. We used the questions to connect the dots and show the application to real life situations.

• A limited number of coaching packages are available. 

• Email, although we cannot answer all questions that come in, we will try to incorporate them into the Facebook forum.

This course is devoted to teaching people about where our experience of life comes from – what we go through, how life affects us, all the feelings and emotions we have. The course is empowered by the process of people disengaging from their normal way of thinking about things, clearing their heads, and listening.  Through this process, people engage with the material very differently, because when people’s minds are open they are able to learn and absorb.  What we’re teaching is within people’s nature the way that learning a language is within their nature. The profound and essential nature of the subject matter, combined with the impact of listening with an open mind results in moments of insight within the viewer. It’s those moments of insight that change people and the way their lives play out.

Everyone, even the happiest and highest functioning people get caught in habits within their thinking that’s problematic for them in some area of their life.  As people get a better understanding of how their mind works, they spend less time caught in their habits, leaving their minds free more of the time. As a result, they feel more connected to the people in their lives, do better at work, and overall have nicer, richer lives. 

The components of this course are short, bite-sized and digestible to accommodate short attention spans and easily distracted students. We created the content in a way that is engaging and easy to relate to. We’ve also made it easy to view any component as often as you like and all of the components are transcribed into PDF format.

It is a very different format than our four day intensive in La Conner.  That program is a one-on-one intensive program where the learning is customized for each client.  That program has the benefit stepping out of your life and immersing yourself in the learning.  However, the online course has its own unique benefit of “time releasing” the learning and there is something about taking responsibility for your own learning that can increase the impact of the online course format. The online course can be a way to “try it out” and get a feel for the work that we do, although the online course also has the potential to have the same impact of our other programs.  To up the impact of the course we recommend that you view the lessons more than once.  A coaching package can leverage the learning as well.
