Recorded Webinar - The Seven Thinking Styles for Smarter Decision-Making
Decision-making is more complex than ever. Too often, leaders and professionals rely on intuition, quick judgments, or traditional methods that fail to deliver the best outcomes. What if there was a better way?
This webinar introduces the Seven Thinking Styles Framework, a structured approach to making more effective, data-informed decisions. You’ll learn how to break down complex challenges, question assumptions, think creatively, and adapt to changing conditions—all critical skills for business success.
Key Themes
Your Brain’s Default Mode Can Hold You Back - Our brains prioritize efficiency, which can lead to rigid thinking patterns and blind spots in decision-making.
Cognitive Shifting Is the Key to Flexibility - The most effective leaders don’t rely on a single thinking style—they shift between them based on the situation. Knowing when to analyze, when to challenge, when to create, and when to collaborate leads to better business outcomes.
Multitasking vs. Cognitive Shifting - Multitasking = Inefficiency – It scatters attention, increases errors, and reduces deep thinking. Cognitive Shifting = Strategic Adaptability – It enables clear, focused thinking by switching modes intentionally rather than reacting impulsively.
Real-World Success Comes from Using the Right Thinking Style at the Right Time - Case studies show that leaders and teams who intentionally engage multiple thinking styles make faster, smarter, and more effective decisions. Practicing cognitive flexibility helps organizations stay agile, innovative, and resilient. To make better decisions, we must actively engage different thinking styles instead of relying on autopilot.
