Problem Solving with Hats | Noggin Sparkler

Episode Summary

Do you hate conflict? You're not alone, you little rockstar. Whether it's in your business, your workplace, where you study or even with your favourite people... Overcoming problems and generating fresh ideas can come with its hurdles. In this episode we explore Edward De Bono's theory of the Six Thinking Hats. And spoiler alert: Conflict just got way less stressful.

Episode Notes

Edward De Bono was one helluva guy. He invented the concept of lateral thinking. And he wrote a really, really cool book called the Six Thinking Hats.

 

In this episode we run through how you can use this methodology to overcome conflict, blaze through problems with mighty solutions and even generate new and exciting ideas.

 

Whether you find yourself arguing with others at work, at school, in your home or with your clients, this is an episode for the people. AKA just about anyone can pull their own noggin sparkler from this methodology.

 

Essentially,  De Bono's genius concept breaks down how to approach a touchy subject where brainstorming is involved, into six different ways of thinking.

 

For us creative business owners, this comes as a HUGE wave of relief. No more 'me vs you' in arguments. In fact, the personal aspect is taken out all together. 

 

Thank you to the rockstars at Redcliffe City Florist for taking their random act of compliments like a champ.

And thank YOU for listening.
