All of us know ‘what’ to think. But do we really know ‘how’ to think?
In this really few who do know to think it is a still smaller percentage who know how to make others think. You know how it goes, your son says, “I can’t do that.” Well! You are a caring father so you have to tell him “No! You can do it!” You tell him so and then you end up in an argument in which your son’s original belief has ended up becoming stronger still. It is true. The more you argue with a person and tell them how wrong they are, the more you strengthen the negative belief you wish to loosen.
The class was great this time since we had very insightful observation into the thought forms of people and how to put the questions that will make them very clear as to what they are communicating. We learnt some really interesting tools to identify when someone is using twelve key forms of sloppy thinking. We also learnt to subtly coach a person in better ways of thinking. Many Rite Thinkers came forward and expressed confidence that it will reduce misunderstandings since it has made our own communication more clear.
Looking forward to the next class!
