How do we get our teams engaged, happy, and productive? We get our ducks in a row, that’s how. Not every flock needs the same geese. There are 135 varieties of geese in the world, and the world needs all of them - just as the world needs the talents of everyone to be successful. We must understand, respect and appreciate what each person brings to the flock in order to be truly successful. Together we Better The Pond. Let’s discuss.

I was first introduced to Warren Barry and Instinctive Solutions through my TEC Canada Key Group. Warren came in as a resource speaker where he introduced the concept of the Conative Mind and the Kolbe Index. I was impressed both with the concept and the tool.
Warren Barry was a featured speaker at an event I attended recently. He provided the group with thoughtful, interesting and useful information about the Kolbe Index and how it can transform workplace dynamics.
One of the best team building workshops that I have participated in. Warren’s high energy level, enthusiasm, and knowledge held your interest throughout the whole day. Very useful information delivered in an excellent manner. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in
The City of Swift Current has been honoured to work with Warren Barry throughout the last year. We were looking for a unique way to incorporate team building activities and boost morale within our organization.
Warren built into our strength as a team. As the demands of a group of companies grows and expands, our reliance on our conative strengths is an integral part of how we do business. I would recommend Warren to businesses and groups looking to deepen their understanding of their teams and improve communication.
Overall, I rate Warren extremely high on the Kolbe workshop in which we were engaged as a team. I endorse Warren to any team looking to learn about who they are and how to effectively work together.
I've found personal strength since working with him as well. I've stopped pressuring myself to do the things that aren't in my natural instincts as I used to do and have seen a dramatic decrease in my stress level because of this.
Warren was a speaker for my TEC Small Business Group in February 2017. Warren designed and delivered a highly effective session to the ten participants, who are owners/leaders of business in various industries. His engaging, approachable facilitation style appealed to group of diverse participants.
Warren has truly allowed our employees to understand their natural strengths and has also provided Hillberg & Berk with a better understanding of our team dynamics.
Warren made everyone feel comfortable and taught us what our individual strengths are and how to embrace them. Because we are more aware of these strengths we can run our business more efficiently.
