I am fascinated by how people think. I am intrigued with how differently people can interpret the same situation. How we can read things into emails which were never intended. I’m fascinated by the fact that often there is not a right or a wrong but just a majority….or a lack of decision making by one party. Freedom of thought is one of the elements of being a planner that I love most.
I’ve worked with a number of people over the years who have been keen saint kitts and nevis email list 10828 contact leads to become planners and I get asked “how do you think?” I’m not sure that’s a question I can really answer because everyone has a unique style or approach to how they think which is undefinable. So instead of reflecting on how I think (normally it involves me cleaning my teeth, but that’s another article), I’d like to share with you some ways you can train, stretch and develop your own style of thinking, musing or creating.
4 ways to develop your inner thinker.
1. Think like a politician.
When I wanted to become more focussed on planning, one of my sources of inspiration was the very brilliant Ronnie Duncan from Meerkats. I’m sure I even asked him “how do you think?”
Ronnie’s advice was ‘to think about the situation as a politician’. Be able to see a problem or a challenge from many sides, think about all the options and be ready to represent the side which you think is right (have the research to back it up). Be prepared to provoke others, test their thinking and challenge their beliefs, make sure they have considered all the options. This helps you to be more considered and ultimately more definite in your choices.
Some other, less admirable political qualities, we’ll leave alone.
