Making Better Decisions
  Tiffany's Tip of the Month Tiff's photo
When it comes to making decisions, most of us weigh the pros and cons. Using this method may cause us to overlook important facts, limit our creativity, or ignore our feelings.

We can make better decisions by throughly thinking through an issue. Edward De Bono, author of "Six Thinking Hats," advocates six different thinking styles represented by different colors of hats.


    1) Identify the facts (white hat).

    2) Listen to your gut (red hat).

    3) Consider the risks (black hat).

    4) Imagine the benefits (yellow hat).

    5) Explore alternatives (green hat).

    6) Conduct the thinking of all 6 hats (blue hat).

    Before making your next decision, wear each hat. It may help you make a better choice. For more information on decision making, contact us for a workshop on this topic. Happy Easter!

When we asked participants at South Suburban Parks and Rec what they liked best about our Critical Thinking and Decision Making workshop they said:

    "The eleven guidelines for critical thinking."

    "Realizing so many avenues to reaching a conclusion."

    "I like the rule of putting on the different hats to change your perspective."

    "Great class for the short amount of time we had. I feel you presented skills I can apply to current and future projects. Thank you!"
