InsightsOut is building a research practice from its community events. The first step is not to make large claims. It is to state clearly what evidence exists.
The record
The public event file currently contains 18 gatherings hosted or scheduled in 2026. Of those, 12 are in person and 6 are online.
Calculated from the public InsightsOut event record.
What appears in the titles
Event titles offer a limited but useful view of the questions the community has been invited to explore. The categories below overlap.
Our interpretation
The early event record concentrates on the emotional experience of founding and leading. Later titles move toward overwhelm, changing roles, practical AI supported workflows, and the choices people face when work begins changing around them.
This suggests a broader research direction for InsightsOut: understanding how people move from fear and uncertainty toward agency, practical learning, and responsible action.
What this record cannot tell us
Calendar data cannot tell us who attended, what they felt, whether their clarity changed, or what they did afterward. It also cannot show whether an event produced a meaningful outcome.
Those questions require optional participant data and follow up. Until that data exists in sufficient numbers, InsightsOut will not present programming records as evidence of personal change.
What we will measure next
Selected events will invite attendees to contribute anonymous reflections before and after the session. The first study will focus on:
- How clearly people understand what is changing
- How overwhelmed or in control they feel
- What they are most afraid of losing
- What action they choose to take
- What happened when they tried it
Our standard
We will name the source, sample size, method, and limits of every finding. Participant findings will be aggregated only when at least 10 people have responded.
