Course Overview

​

Learn and practice creating Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment, a space where innovation and individuality flourish.

​

Our Time To Think Foundation Course will empower you to foster a psychologically safe environment that encourages people to think well for themselves and unlocks their full potential. 

​

This Foundation Course includes the Transforming Meetings course and learning to give engaging presentations, conduct good interviews, ask Incisive Questions about untrue assumptions and take the first steps towards Time To Think coaching.

​

The quality of everything we do, every action we take, every decision we make depends on the quality of the thinking we do first. On this Foundation Course you will explore and practise the behaviours that generate a Thinking Environment that results in high-quality independent thinking. Thinking with creativity, courage and rigour.

​

In life, we make assumptions. Often, these assumptions are untrue and hold us back. You’ll learn to identify these untrue assumptions and craft incisive questions that replace them with empowering and liberating truth, opening doors to new opportunities and possibilities you thought were out of reach.

​

With all these skills, you’ll learn to facilitate meetings where everyone contributes, ideas and innovation flow, impactful decisions are made, and you leave feeling inspired and motivated to take the next steps.
