What have you been 'thinking' today?  How many of us are too busy to think.  Reflect on when you last had a revelation or an Aha! moment.  It probably wasn't when you were busy busy busy.  It may have been before you went to sleep, during the night, whilst you were driving, swimming or generally when you allowed yourself the space in your brain, simply to think.  By planning in 'thinking' time you really can be more effective.  As they say, sometimes, doing less results in achieving more.

Many successful people think from a very rational, logical perspective and this is part of the reason that they are successful and achieve their goals. Sometimes this approach also means they can overlook other important aspects of 'thinking' such as emotional, intuitive, creative or negative viewpoints. This can mean that they  may not fully consider the impact of their decisions, they may not plan for resistance to change, miss new opportunities, or misunderstand the financial implications.

Similarly, pessimists may be overly defensive, and people used to a very systematic A-B approach to problem solving may be unaware of their own creativity or be in tune with their intuition.

Edward de Bono designed an approach to encourage this broader style of thinking, and to assist people and teams to make decisions, called the Six Thinking Hats technique.

Through this fun, lively and interactive session you will  use all of these approaches to develop your best solution. Your decisions and plans will have considered fully ambition, skill in delivering, sensitivity, creativity and good contingency planning.

If you have business or personal decisions to be made, we can facilitate this Six Thinking Hat's session for you, ensuring that the conclusions you reach are not only creative but well considered, rounded and effective!

'Thought, I love thought...

Thought is the welling up of unknown

life into consciousness,

Thought is the testing of statements

in the touchstone of conscience,

Thought is gazing onto the face of life,

and reading what can be read,

Thought is pondering over experienc,

and coming to conclusion.'

D.H. Lawrence
