Time to Think Foundation Course
Are you a team leader, a facilitator, a chair, or a member of a steering team, a board, a campaigning group or an investment committee?
Join the Time To Think Foundation course on May 21st & 22nd 2024 to develop and deepen your generative attention.
You will transform your group’s interactions, fostering collaboration, deeper listening, and better decision-making.
You’ll embrace different perspectives in a way that saves your team time, reduces conflict & misunderstanding, and creates clarity, bond and innovation.
Moving and Growing as a Team
- Do you operate remotely and feel you could do with more cohesion and sense of belonging?
- Is the team distracted by the "experts", or overpowering individuals?
- Are you looking for ways to improve decision-making processes?
- Do you feel your board is sometimes overreacting to market/system noise?
- Is your board/team missing the big picture due to tunnel vision?
Everything we do depends on
the quality of our thinking
Findings show that team members and chairs can facilitate and enhance the quality of thinking within their teams and committees by encouraging independent thinking, valuing diverse perspectives in a non-defensive way, and having the confidence to welcome productive disagreement.
Developed by Nancy Kline and Faculty, the Time To Think Foundation Course teaches you to generate an environment where people can think clearly, independently, and innovatively, without interruption, in a group setting.
The acts of thinking and listening improve when we embody the Ten Components tm of a Thinking Environment.
The approach is supported by a growing neuropsychological body of evidence that demonstrates how and why the quality of a group's attention impacts the quality of each individual's thinking, feeling, decisions and actions.
