Getting More Done With Less: 4 Steps to Building Your Thinking Agility

As an HR professional, you are faced with a constant flow of information, shifting priorities and complex challenges, and yet you have fewer resources than ever before to manage them. Keeping up with the day-to-day is difficult enough. How do you get the mental breathing room you need to see and plan the future?

Expand your brain’s bandwidth by building your thinking agility.

This interactive, engaging session will reveal how you can apply what we know about thinking and the brain to better “see around corners” and harness the full brainpower available—your own as well as others’—to meet today’s mental demands while maintaining a more strategic mindset.

Ann will demonstrate a practical, easy-to-apply framework you will immediately be able to use to unleash your full cognitive potential. You’ll explore thinking styles and their impact on communication, problem solving and decision making, and discover how to identify and minimize the mental “blind spots” that may be hampering your results.

Learn how to become a more nimble thinker who can access and apply all types of thinking—analytical as well as interpersonal, methodical as well as visionary—so you can be more productive and build your business judgment and credibility at the same time.

After participating in this session, you will be able to:
• Explain how thinking styles impact productivity, personal effectiveness and overall results
• Develop and apply the agile thinking skills necessary for managing more effectively in a constantly shifting business environment
• Identify clues to your own and others’ thinking preferences, how they differ, how they contribute to specific business outcomes, and how you can better leverage the thinking of those around you to get better results
• Apply Whole Brain® Thinking techniques to “see around corners” and plan the future
