Ken has been interested in finding simple solutions to help people be at their best for as long as he can remember. He pursued three degrees in psychology from Brown University, Lesley College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He practiced as a clinical psychologist for twenty years. In parallel to his career in psychology, Ken also has a strong background in business, including roles in various startups as national sales manager, director of marketing, and advisory board member. He cofounded, with his son-in-law, a successful software development company, which he still leads. In 1999, he began innovating ways to bring insight principles into the corporate world and joined with partner Robin Charbit to form their company, Insight Principles. Ken has been married for thirty years, has two stepdaughters, a son, and five grandchildren. He plays the piano, loves the outdoors and all kinds of sports and exercise, travel, photography, woodworking, and spending time with family and friends.

Robin began his career as a chemical engineer with Exxon in 1981 (having received his education at Sheffield University in the UK), and eventually led one of Exxon's international plastics businesses. He joined Arthur D. Little in 1992, first in Europe and ultimately in Boston, where he led and managed the North America Chemicals Practice. With a colleague, Charlie Keifer, he left the more classical consulting world and founded Insight Management Partners to bring an understanding of how the mind works into business. He then met Ken Manning, and they joined forces to create Insight Principles. Robin was born in the UK to French parents and met his Belgian wife, Sabine, in Switzerland. They now live in Boston with their three soccer-crazed children. When time permits, Robin enjoys all things mechanical (cars, woodworking, home projects) and is an avid cinemaphile.

Sandy's vision is to make the workplace a setting for creative performance as well as the elevation of the human spirit. After graduating from Bates College and the University of New Haven Graduate School, she began her career as a mental health counselor. She founded and served as Executive Director of one the first principle-based programs in the US, located in Tampa, Florida. In 2000, she had her first opportunity to take a principle-based understanding of the mind to business. This led her in a new direction, and she joined Insight Principles in 2010. Sandy shares her life with her partner, Peter Remick, and together they built their net-zero-energy home in rural Washington. They get out into the awesome Pacific Northwest wilderness as often as they can, sea kayaking, backpacking, and hiking with their dog.
