"Positive people are great, they invented the aeroplane ✈.
But negative people are also awesome, they invented the parachute 🪂."

Perhaps you've been brutally shut down when you innovated during meetings:

"5 years ago, we tried that. As usual, the Sales Department screwed up..."

Or perhaps 𝐘𝐎𝐔 feel 𝐁𝐀𝐃 because you tend to see things in a negative light. Maybe you've been told that you're overly cautious, a wet blanket 😥.

So, which is better? Having a positive outlook, or a negative one? In truth, we need both in our lives.

In 1985 a legend, Edward de Bono, devised a fantastic tool to help us solve problems harnessing the viewpoints of both positive and negative people.

He called it the 6 Thinking Hats 🎩. In a nutshell, he advocated splitting your problem solving session into segments. For example, when assessing solutions, designate time for identifying the benefits and drawbacks SEPARATELY, and encourage 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 to contribute, regardless of their disposition.

"Alright , let's hear the benefits of this proposal. Everyone put on your Yellow Hats! No negative feedback for now. Josie, thank you for your positivity!"

"Okay guys, now let's have critcism only! No positivity, tell me ALL the risks and potential issues! Thank you Joshua for being critical today!"

Of late, I've received a lot of requests for Critical Thinking and Problem Solving trainings, including requests from Malaysia's largest fashion platform, a major skincare retailer and one of the world's largest green energy companies. Their pain points were the same - their meetings were often unproductive, with a lot of complaining and finger pointing 👉, but with 𝐧𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝.

Does this sound like your company's meetings? With critical thinking and problem solving tools, we can encourage even the most negative colleagues to see the silver lining of each proposal and reserve their concerns for the correct segment in our 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐑𝐃𝐂 / 𝐇𝐑𝐃𝐅 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.
