What is different about coaching in a Thinking Environment®?
At the heart of this approach is the philosophy that when we can think well for ourselves, we can improve the quality of our decisions, our actions, and our outcomes.
In a Thinking Partnership Session, the quality of one person’s attention liberates the best thinking of another. When you listen to inspire, not to reply, it restores a thinker’s capacity to think independently; it builds their confidence so they can find their own answers and see possibilities.
In this 4-day Programme, you will
Develop your understanding of the conditions that enable authentic, courageous thinking,
Consider in depth the impact of generative attention and the promise not to interrupt
Explore the impact of underlying assumptions on thinking and on decision-making
Deepen your understanding of Incisive Questions™
Learn experientially through practice and through demonstrations
