Presentation Transcript

Slide 1:

HOW TO THINK CRITICALLY & CREATIVELY www.Cant-Think.com

Slide 2:

Since the time of the Ancient Greeks we’ve been using a very specific way of thinking and making decisions .

Slide 3:

By weighing up the pros versus the cons we’re actually limiting our sense of understanding to a very black and white sense of being and life is much more multi- coloured than this.

Slide 4:

If you’re looking to broaden your horizons, open your mind and learn some Advanced Thinking Techniques then you’ve come to the right place.

Slide 5:

My name is Celia Gates and I’m an Internationally accredited Innovator and Creative Thinker . I could share my titles with you but frankly you’ll only start telling me that I must think differently to you and I won’t hear a word of it…

Slide 6:

…you’re just as capable of thinking as creatively as I am.

Slide 7:

When you signed up to this presentation I promised to share some secrets with you and here’s the first one of them:

Slide 8:

Your thoughts are things that materialize the more you think about them. Think about that!

Slide 9:

If you’re telling yourself you can’t do something, you can’t achieve something or you can’t think in a certain way then you’ll never be able to do that because your thoughts will materialize and become your reality.

Slide 10:

You’re equally capable of thinking creatively.

Slide 11:

For too long now we’ve been limiting our field of vision by wasting time arguing and debating against each other – reaching a compromise as opposed to a unanimous agreement.

Slide 12:

This is no way to collaborate or stimulate a creative culture or a creative way of thinking.

Slide 13:

The Decisions you take really do Define Your Destiny .

Slide 14:

By involving your emotions these become stimulators and motivators which fuel your actions .

Slide 15:

Too often in, and especially in Business we neglect this highly valuable motivational factor whilst personal decisions often take too much emotional charged on board often disintegrating into arguments.

Slide 16:

The debate between fact and feeling has gone on for too long – they should be measured equally when reaching balanced decisions.

Slide 17:

Jennifer Lerner PhD Director of the Emotion & Decision Making Group – Harvard J.F.K. “A bad mood can cost you” A sense of sadness lowers your self- esteem encouraging you to pay more in order to re-establish your self-worth.

Slide 18:

Australia psychologist; Professor Joe Forgas who has been studying emotions concluded that being grumpy helps us think more clearly.

Slide 19:

In contrast to those overly-happy types, miserable people are better at making decisions because they are less gullible . Cheerfulness may foster creativity but gloominess appears to breed a sense of attentiveness and careful thinking.

Slide 20:

Emotional extremes influence our interpretation of the facts.

Slide 21:

It’s important to balance these in equal measure if we want the influence and effect of our emotional involvement in any decision making process that you’re taking part in so as to fuel your actions .

Slide 22:

The powers of group meditation are now widely recognized by those who practice it and you will appreciate that 2 brains are better than one especially when you’re brainstorming .

Slide 23:

Well, I believe that 10 brains are better than 2 and 100 brains are better still – The problem is that often communication breaks down .

Slide 24:

So it’s NOT just how we think BUT how we communicate that’s the problem.

Slide 25:

We’ve still got a long way to go before we can claim to operate in culture that’s truly highly performing.

Slide 26:

Sure, Managers, Directors, Gurus, Leaders like yourselves might like to believe that we promote a culture that encourages initiative, teamwork, goal setting, creativity and commitment but in reality we are using hardly any of our brain at all.

Slide 27:

If we do its either right or left sided but rarely in conjunction with each other. And, mostly left hand activity to be fair.

Slide 28:

The brain can be divided into 2 distinct sides – the left and right. The left deals with logic – literal thinking whilst the right hand side tends to deal with creativity, rhythm and intuition.

Slide 29:

Left hand brain thinking deals with absolute facts and tends to be the type that is predominately taught in schools. It can be measured and judged – there are right and wrong answers and it works in a linear pattern.

Slide 30:

For this reason we carry this way of thinking with us into adult life. As society breeds our intuitions out of us – the left hand brain becomes stronger and quickly we forget about our creative skills.

Slide 31:

If your brain is like a muscle then now is the time to exercise it!

Slide 32:

It’s when you use both the left and right hand sides of your brain simultaneously that the sparks of genius are most likely to occur.

Slide 33:

That is what this ingenious new way of thinking instantly helps you achieve. As you adopt the technique it's power and performance will astound you. As more people in your group get used to this way of working a common language will emerge and a creative culture will grow conscientiously.

Slide 34:

The results will blow you away!

Slide 35:

This tool is called The Whether? Forecast™ way of working because it helps you decide whether to do one thing, whether to do another or whether to do something entirely differently.

Slide 36:

Most decision making process tend to begin with a series of options or an ultimate objective. This is ludicrous.

Slide 37:

How can you possibly make a choice when you don’t know what you’re choosing between? How can you consider an idea when you haven’t even conceived it yet?

Slide 38:

The Whether? Forecast™ has been designed to give you a multi-perspective point of view of any given situation.

Slide 39:

In this way you are able to apply both your lateral and literal thinking skills . You can think critically and creatively at the same time.

Slide 40:

The system encourages you to use your emotions as motivational drivers and very quickly it stimulates solutions and ingeniously innovative ideas appear before your eyes.

Slide 41:

The way it works is by asking you to frame your way of thinking around the weather.

Slide 42:

By considering what your situation might look like on a sunny day you are able to see a long way into the distance – the sun’s rays fuel you with energy and an “ anything becomes possible ” mentality exists.

Slide 43:

By contrast a rainy day makes us feel miserable, it forces us to look at the details and take extra precautions. This frame of mind forces you to consider the risks.

Slide 44:

The snow on the other hand, freezes our world and stills our activities. What do you need to survive in such a harsh climate?

Slide 45:

By considering all external influences as winds you’ll quickly see how best to set your sails and when to baton down the hatches.

Slide 46:

This system gives you a balanced and rounded point of view .

Slide 47:

The magic of a rainbow encourages you to push the boundaries of your imagination whilst the stark and efficient method of summing up the Whether? Report™ quickly reveals what actions can be taken today and tomorrow to take you to where you intend to be in the future.

Slide 48:

Actions emerge from decisions.

Slide 49:

If you’re not taking action then you’re not generating momentum and without momentum you’ll never get anywhere.

Slide 50:

Unless you make some decisions you won’t take action either and the consequences could be catastrophic.

Slide 51:

Indecision costs more than recovering from the wrong decision.

Slide 52:

Indecision leads to those feelings of frustration and fear. You become paralyzed and you stop making progress.

Slide 53:

The Whether? Forecast™ will instantly eject you from this spiral of despair.

Slide 54:

Instead of wasting time worrying start thinking creatively and constructively.

Slide 55:

Instead of arguing and debating start collaborating to solve your problems instead.

Slide 56:

Don’t limit your options, broaden your horizons. Embrace your emotions, recognize your instinct and intuition AND allow the facts to prevail.

Slide 57:

This system really is revealing.

Slide 58:

If you want to explore using it on your own then go ahead. You’ll need to decide how much time is worth investing in turning your problems into purpose and divide this into 7 equal portions .

Slide 59:

Next you will need to spend an equal amount of time considering your situation from 7 different perspectives framed around metaphors of the weather.

Slide 60:
