Have you ever regretted a decision? Or felt misunderstood? Or wish you could change an outcome? You can change the quality and methods of how you make decisions, build relationships, communicate, and more. But first, you need to understand the “why” behind your actions, decisions, assumptions, and behaviors.
Understanding how we think is critical to growth and learning. Without this understanding, we tend to use the same process or decision-making criteria again and again, which leads to the same outcomes. While this is efficient, it often lacks innovation or creative problem-solving. But what if we change the way we see our situation, or how we think about decisions, or the criteria we use in making decisions? This would give us a whole new perspective on “Why do we do the things we do?”
This interactive webinar will guide you through reflection and discussion to understand the “why” behind your actions. Together, we will explore common thinking patterns, the anatomy of a thinking pattern, and ways to reframe or think differently. You will also reflect and identify your own thinking patterns and how these might help or hinder you. Besides better decision-making, there are other helpful outcomes to understanding the “why,” including greater emotional intelligence and self-awareness, a deeper level of learning, stress management and resiliency, improved communication, and improved ways to continue your growth through reflection.
Recognizing how we think takes intention. It doesn’t happen because we want it to happen. We have to be deliberate in how we spend our time. Join us to gain ideas on how to change your thinking for greater personal and professional success.
