Lunch and Learn with Lindsay – Issue 142 : Get creative with your problem solving

Despite my regular grumping this year that I don’t like the cold, dark mornings and evenings, January does seem to have flown by…one particularly glorious sunset this morning and the promise of Spring are making me smile now we’re into February.  (Can you tell I’m a “warm weather person”?!)

2023 has got off to a fantastic start with lots of exciting initiatives in the pipeline here at Your Excellency to ensure we continue to advocate and support your career and learning journeys.  

Malcolm, Joshua and I held a fun strategy meeting last week and used Edward De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats®️ to help with some ideas generation on what else we can be doing to support you, our EA and PA clients.

The Six Thinking Hats®️ is one of my favourite creative and lateral thinking strategies. 

There’s a super informative website here if you want to find out more and a brilliant Mind Map below.   By metaphorically wearing different hats you can expand out your thinking. The colours of the hats represent the time of thinking too.  Give it a go!
