What is Critical Thinking?

“What is critical thinking? It refers to the ability to analyze information objectively and make a reasoned judgment. Critical thinking involves the evaluation of sources such as data, facts, observable phenomenon, and research findings. Good critical thinkers can draw reasonable conclusions from a set of information and discriminate between useful and less useful details to solve a problem or make a decision.” Adrian Doyle at:

WikiPedia provides several different definitions of critical thinking at:

What is Creative Thinking?

“Creativity simply means being able to come up with something new. Therefore, creative thinking is the ability to consider something – a conflict between employees, a data set, a group project – in a new way.” Alison Doyle in this article:

Benefits and Examples of Creative Thinking

There are numerous examples of creative thinking in our lives, but we usually don’t think of them as such, for example, when you discover a more efficient way of getting something done.

What is Concentration

As we try to deal with the increasing amount of information in the world and increasing demands on our time, it becomes increasingly difficult to concentrate. As a result, it seems we’re increasingly hearing the word “concentration”, or similar words like focusing the mind, controlling the mind, and mindfulness. But as often as we hear the word concentration, what is it really?

“Concentration is the ability to direct one’s attention in accordance with one’s will. It means control of the attention. It is the ability to focus the mind on one subject, object or thought, and at the same time
exclude from the mind every other unrelated thoughts, ideas, feelings and sensations” … “Concentration is a state, in which one’s whole attention is engrossed in one thing only, and being oblivious to everything else. During concentration, the mind focuses on the object of concentration,
and only one thought occupies the mind. The whole energy of the mind becomes concentrated on this one thought.”– Remez Sasson in the article What is Concentration?

What is Self-Reflection?

Wikipedia defines self-reflection as “… the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about their fundamental nature, purpose and essence.
Self-Reflection

Researchers and educators are emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, especially as means to continually learn from our own experiences. It is important because the world is rapidly changing around us like never before. What we learn today can become obsolete tomorrow.

Self-reflection is a term that many us believed was in the realm of psychology and therapy. Yet, many of us self-reflect on a regular basis, and don’t know that the term is applying very much to what we are doing.

For example, when we think back on our lives, we might recall painful lessons that we learned and do not want to repeat. We also might recall times that when we were particularly courageous — times that we particularly proud of. That activity of thinking back is essentially the nature of self-reflection. Especially
as we gain more experiences in our lives, as our lives are changing and as we encounter more complex situations and problems, the ability to self-reflect becomes even more important.

Here are additional perspectives on reflecting and self-reflection.

How to Improve Your Thinking Skills

Thinking skills are how you use your brain to recognize, interpret, analyze and come to conclusions about information. It is you use your brain to make decisions and solve problems. It also is how you use your brain to convey information to others, including to clarify what you want to convey, to whom and how. How the skills are used ranges from a very spontaneous and unfolding approach to a very planned and orderly approach. Let’s look at some other definitions.

Are You Learning Everyday?

© Copyright Marcia Zidle

Jack Nichlaus was asked if there are really talented golfers who never make it. “Oh, hundreds of them”, he replied. “A lot of people out there are more talented than I am and yet, through the years, I’ve passed them by. That’s because I never was satisfied with my game. I was learning new shots every single day.”

It’s up to you to make sure you are continually improving, growing, and learning every day. It’s up to you to make sure you never go out of style! It’s up to you to take charge of your professional development. Here’s how.

1. Have a learning perspective.

Be on the lookout for teachable moments. Approach each learning experience, whether you want to be there or not, with the questions: What can I learn? What one or two things can I take away that I can use immediately? Who else would find value in this learning?

2. Benchmark your skills periodically.

Do it at least once a year. For those in a fast moving profession or industry every three months may be required. In other words, what’s in your work portfolio? Is it filled with skills or competencies that are up-to-date and sought after? Or, is it filled with skills which are obsolete and not very portable?

3. Create a learning plan.

Pinpoint specific skills and knowledge that you need to acquire or up-grade. Then identify the professional development activities that are available to you. They can include mentor relationships, special assignments at work, in-house and public seminars, professional conferences, on-line courses, university education, books, journals, blogs, etc.

Are you learning every day?

I hope so. If not, you may find yourself a professional dinosaur…out of touch, out of skills and out of work. Just as a company invests in its own research and development, you need to invest in your own career growth and development. Remember, as you never outgrow your need for milk, you never outgrow your need for professional development.

Learn, Grow, Lead: Stand Out In the Crowd

© Copyright Marcia Zidle

Is Experience the Best Teacher?

Yes, says The Center for Creative Leadership. Their research found that a variety of challenging assignments contribute greatly to the building and seasoning of new and emerging leaders.

However, not all challenges are equal. The ones that will enhance leadership skills are those that:

Require working with new people or high variety or time pressures. Call for influencing people with no or limited direct authority or control. Involve building a team, starting something from scratch or solving a problem. Demand a “take charge” attitude, quick learning, coping with uncertain situations.

Choose Your Challenges Wisely

It’s not necessary to change one’s job to build leadership capabilities. Rather be on the lookout for or request these kinds of assignments, projects or tasks. They are developmental. In other words, they will help you learn, grow and lead more effectively.

  1. Be part of a task force on a pressing business problem
  2. Handle a negotiation with a customer
  3. Present proposal report to top management
  4. Work short periods in other units or departments
  5. Plan an off site, meeting or conference
  6. Serve on a new project / product review committee
  7. Manage the visit of a VIP
  8. Go off-site to troubleshoot problems
  9. Take a board position at a community organization
  10. Be part of the company’s trade show booth team
  11. Redesign a work process with another function
  12. Resolve conflict among warring subordinates
  13. Take over a troubled project and get it back on track
  14. Manage projects requiring coordination across the organization
  15. Supervise assigned office space in a new building
  16. Spend a day with customers and write report
  17. Do postmortem on a failed project
  18. Evaluate the impact of training
  19. Write a proposal for a new system, product, etc.
  20. Interview outsiders on their view of the organization

Pick one or two of the above professional development assignments that would help you develop your leadership capabilities now.

Career Success Tip

You learn on the job every day. But are you learning what you really need to learn to develop your leadership and advance your career? It’s up to you to make sure you’re continually improving, growing and learning. It’s up to you to take charge of your professional development.

How to Improve Study Skills

In the context of a learning environment, studying is getting new useful information in order to solve a problem, achieve a goal or pass a test. New and useful information is considered to be new knowledge. If you apply that knowledge, then you can develop new skills.

The way that you study depends on your style of learning. For example, you might prefer to read books, listen to lectures, write about a subject or do some kinds of hands-on experience. People might use a combination these types. (See Learning Styles)

How to Use Study Guides

A study guide is a tool to help you learn. It helps you to understand new information by better organizing, interpreting and summarizing it. Tools can be in the form of, for example, reference sheets, maps, charts, flash cards and sample test.

Preparation

· Too often, we decide what courses to take by scanning
a list of new courses. This is like picking dessert from a dessert
tray: you pick what you want more than what you need. Reflect
on your needs. What do you need for your career? Is there a particular
problem you’re facing in your career, home life or job?
· Try to specify your needs in terms of outcomes or impacts,
not in terms of activities. For example, seek certain enhanced
skills, knowledge, perceptions, etc. Think about how you’ll
know if these outcomes were reached or not.
· Don’t just look at courses as means to achieve your
preferred outcomes. Too often, we think we only can learn in classrooms
from an expert who lectures us. With today’s technologies,
we have immediate access to a wide range of materials and information.
“Homeschooling” is an increasingly useful technique
for learning.
· Think about how much you’ve really used materials
from earlier courses. For example, are you the kind of person
who takes a course and brings materials home to sit on a shelf
and never be looked at again? If so, what can you do to change?

When Considering a Course

· Look at the outcomes promised from the course. Do
they match your needs? Do the objectives and learning activities
sound like they’ll really produce those outcomes promised
from the course?
· Call the instructor and discuss your needs. Find out
if he or she believes the course will be useful. Beware the person
with a big hammer — to them, everyone is a nail.
· Get a biography of the instructor. What evidence do you
see that the instructor really has the expertise to be teaching
that course and subject matter?
· Attempt to get an outline of the course. Is the course
well organized? Does the course include sufficient time for questions
and for evaluation? Are materials provided to support lectures?
· Ask the school or the instructor for a copy of the form
used to evaluate the courses and the instructor. What objectives
are measured by the form? These objectives are often those that
the instructor will try to reach.
· Assess if the course will be jam packed and very hectic.
If so, there will probably be little time for questions and answers.
You might be overwhelmed with a “datadump” of information
and little knowledge.
· See if there’s a discount to take the course a second
time if needed. Occasionally we don’t get enough from a course
even if the instructor does a fine job and the materials were
very useful.

During the Course

· Be sure you’re comfortable and can hear the instructor.
Sit at the front of the room if possible.
· Take notes by recording important points and conclusions,
not everything the instructor says. Note if the instructor is
speaking from a set of materials, in which case, you may not need
to record all the important points because the materials may already
contain those points.
· Get a list of who’s in the course. Ask some classmates
if they are interested in getting together to help each other
apply the materials and exchange feedback about experiences.
· Is the instructor following the agenda? Will promised
topics be discussed with sufficient time?
· Find out how to get in touch with the instructor at a
later time if needed. You may have a question or two about how
to apply materials. The instructor may appreciate your feedback.
· Ask questions if you don’t understand the instructor
or what’s going on! This may be the most useful activity
for getting the most out of your course. Speak up if you wonder
whether information or materials seem realistic or practical.

Evaluation

· You can learn a lot from evaluation! The most useful
forms of evaluation include time at the end of course for learners
to discuss the quality of the course. At the beginning of the
course, ask the instructor to try leave sufficient time for this.
· Too often, evaluations are based on our feelings about
our experiences in the course, rather than if the course achieved
its objectives or not. Carefully consider whether the course met
its objectives or not.

Follow-Up

· Very soon after the course, review your notes and
the materials. This will ensure your notes are complete and help
you internalize the materials.
· Mark your calendar for three months out. At that time,
ask yourself if you’re using materials from the course? If
not, why not? What can you learn from this?

Law of Attraction: Release your Judgments and your Pain

happy-business-colleagues-using-mobile-phones-chatting

I have worked with several Coaching clients this year who recently lost their job. Like so many people in that situation, their fear over finances started to suck their energy, and drag them into a downward spiral.

To add salt to the wound, they also beat themselves up over losing their job. They add extra layers of blame, shame, and judgment to their current life situation. This only compounds their pain.

Typically my clients come to me emotionally wounded and mentally fatigued. They lack self-confidence to move forward and need an emotional boost to find their next job.

I help my clients step back from their experience enough to see it through a different lens.

Often just a few key insights helps shift their energy, re-gain their confidence, and provide hope for their job search.

Law of Attraction – How to use it and Understand it

Two of these Job Coaching clients have worked with me to use and understand Law of Attraction better.

I can share dozens of stories where Law of Attraction was vividly demonstrated. It Works and It Is Real.

Whatever we project into the world, we attract (good and bad). Our thoughts, feelings, energy are magnets. So you need to be careful what you think, feel, do because it will be returned to you.

  • If we think self-ish thoughts or act self-ishly, we’ll attract self-ish people into our life.
  • If we think helpful thoughts or give generously, we’ll attract helpful people to us.
  • If we think we want to die or kill some aspect of our life, we develop a series illness or injury.

stairway to rainbow circle in clouds

Note: This point is important because it speaks to the deeper level that Law of Attraction works.

Our life works at a Soul AND Ego level – in everything we think, say or do. To live more joyfully, become intentional and aware of what you think, feel, and do. Then you can consciously draw to you what is for your Right Highest Good at your deeper soul level.

The key is to align your thoughts, judgments, behaviors, and emotions with your soul growth and Inherent Divine Nature more consciously.

The challenge at our ego/conscious level is to release judgments that our life experiences are ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’.

If you see your job loss as horrible, unfair, unwanted, etc., you’ll experience more pain because of those judgments and beliefs.

Instead, you can affirm a job loss was in your Right Highest Good at a deeper soul level. Hold the awareness that your experience is helping you grow spiritually, increase your faith, and aligns you more with your True Nature.

You’ll then shift from pain to hope.

Suffering and Judgments

Now I’ve been through a divorce, lost a job I loved, had financial hardships, lost beloved pets and dear friends. So I know how painful all these experiences can be. I’m not saying you won’t grieve or go through a time of feeling really awful. I’ve been in that pit of despair and know how much it really sucks.

What I AM saying is that how quickly you move through your grief, pain, judgment, blaming, shaming, clinging to the past – that all determines how quickly you shift the spiral of emotions…. and hence shift what you attract going forward.

Whether you’re going through an illness, job loss, ending a relationship etc., you’ll experience greater pain to the extent you add extra layers of judgments to what happened.

You can give yourself a bad emotional or mental lashing for what happened…just know that only adds salt to the wound.

If you continue to feel bad about what happened, feel disappointed, feel ashamed, your judgments and beliefs will keep pulling you in that direction.

It’s your judgments and thoughts that are perpetuating your pain, not the fact that you lost your job.

And…. Your judgments and emotions fuel the Law of Attraction to attract similar pain.

Reframe your Thoughts and You Shift your Experiences

This is why I remind my Coaching clients (and you here) to re-frame your thoughts around losing your job, relationship, home etc. Divine Discontent man image

Once you shift gears and reverse your judgments and emotions, you’ll shift what’s attracted to you. You can either keep spiraling down with your negative emotions and judgments, or you can catch yourself and reverse the spiral.

 

To shift the spiral of pain:

  1. Notice the judgments you are putting on the situation – are you continually saying how awful things are, how badly you were treated, or how crappy you feel?
  1. Affirm that what is happening is for your soul development and conscious evolution. Your soul growth comes from letting go of your judgments, emotional self-lashing, victim consciousness, poor pity me thinking.

Affirm that what is happening for your Right Highest Good and move forward from there.

 

Law of Attraction and Soul Fulfillment

If you understand Law of Attraction at a deeper soul level, you then see and understand that you are being guided, nudged, perhaps pushed to another expression of yourself that your old job/relationship/home etc didn’t allow you to have.

There is extra responsibility living in conscious awareness of how Law of Attraction works.

There is also more power in it too. When you learn to catch yourself in a negative spiral, you have more control to reverse it and pull more positive experiences to you.

Play with this over the coming week. Start with something less challenging and see how you do controlling and shifting your thoughts, emotions, judgments.

When something disappointing happens, notice your thoughts, judgments and emotions. See when you shift those judgments and emotions, things shift in your life.

Have fun practicing this over the next few days and weeks.

Bright Blessings.
