The Six Thinking Hats
So often we begin an endeavor without much thought. When it comes time to make a decision we may find that we have not looked at the entire picture and assessed the situation comprehensively to come to a solid conclusion that would seek the most optimal outcome. How can we ensure that we do not miss a step in our thought process? In steps, the Six Thinking Hats.
Join Tiffany and I as we do a quick recap about the Six Thinking Hats. In addition, Tiffany will share how chaos ensued in her doctoral program with plagiarized papers, sub par team contributions, and how she believes the usage of this concept would have been effective on team projects within her program. Oh and how a $50,000 investment in finding someone equally yoked found its way into our conversations! Listen now! You don’t want to miss this! 🤣
To prepare for our discussions we recommend that you purchase and READ or listen to:

Featured Topic: Get’cha Mind Right
This month we will review the Six Thinking Hats by Edward De Bono.
Edward is long recognized as the foremost international authority on conceptual thinking and on the teaching of thinking as a skill. We will learn how De Bono unscrambles the thinking process with his "six thinking hats”.
Edward highlights that our success in business and in life depends on how we think. However, thinking effectively can be complex as the main difficulty of thinking is confusion. We try to do too much at once. Emotions, information, logic, hope, and creativity all crowd in on us and we find ourselves overextended and overwhelmed.
The six thinking hats is a concept that allows a thinker to do one thing at a time by allowing the brain to maximize its sensitivity in different directions at different times.
It is parallel thinking that permits each person involved an opportunity to look at a situation from the same point of view.

Let’s review the Learning Checklist:
Intelligence vs Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Survey
When you think about what is required to make you successful what are some of the key things folks need to find success?
Most people would say education, experience, knowledge, and possessing a high IQ.
Well, Patrick Lencioni author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team; president of the Table Group said that not education, not experience, not knowledge or intellectual horsepower. None of these serve as an adequate predictor as to why one person succeeds and another doesn’t. There is something else going on that we tend to ignore and that is emotional intelligence.
