An experiential online program introducing the behaviours and applications proven to generate the best quality thinking, actions and results
In our rapidly changing world creating an environment of genuine connection and clear and independent thinking is an essential humanising skill. Having a broad range of approaches to help us easily create these kinds of environments is key. Deepen your expertise in a proven human technology to elevate the way you think, connect and create islands of sanity and clarity in our rapidly shifting sands.
After years of research and observation Nancy Kline, founder of the Thinking Environment® recognised that people generate their best thinking if the people around them behave in certain ways. The Foundation Course will introduce you to these ten behaviours and their practical applications. Through a series of five interactive small group sessions, you will gain:
LIVED EXPERIENCE : Experience being in a Thinking Environment and practise creating this environment for yourself and others
PRACTICAL TOOLS : Transform your one-on-one interactions, team meetings and group conversations: build connectedness, surface new thinking and get results
TIME TO THINK : Gain valuable time to think about the topics that matter most to you - access your own best thinking and the thinking of those around you
The Foundation Course is a stand-alone introduction to creating Thinking Environments and a pre-requisite to the Time To Think Facilitator Accreditation.
