High Performance Thinking
3 day workshop - Graduates Only
High Performance Thinking helps you make quality decisions which solve important business problems!
FARR’s done it again with another breakthrough experience that cuts through the mundane and impacts leaders with techniques, insights, and results that improves performance!
The High Performance Thinking workshop builds on prior Farr workshop models and teaches specific techniques for developing remarkable cognitive control that improves making quality decisions.
In considering high performance thinking, we begin by distinguishing between thinking and feeling. These two vital aspects of a personality are frequently confused in our language. Recognizing this confusion is vital, since mixing up the processes will mean the difference between making quality decisions based on real information and making poor decisions based on assumptions, interpretation, and emotional reactions to the situation. The bottom-line is that making quality decisions makes money, while poor decisions cost money.
In this workshop participants will:
Understand the following key dimensions of high performance thinking and how to apply them.
