CREATING TIME TO
THINK
Their ideas are rarely listened to, really listened to and therefore they become disengaged and feel under valued.
I hear the term of ‘group think’ being banded around where the team falls into a false sense of progression where just 30% of the group contribute and it is their idea that gets taken forward which is not always the best for what is required at the time.
Some describe their teams just saying what they think their leader wants to hear, rather than contributing their own ideas or challenging the status quo.
Being a Thinking Environment in your organisation will overcome these challenges. By offering unparalleled attention to another human being, challenging any unhelpful thinking patterns and asking powerful questions to enable breakthroughs will establish you as an outstanding leader with a brand that stands out.

What others have said…
“I enjoyed the camaraderie of the group. I particularly valued Jane’s precision, structure and organization. Everything felt well planned and she demonstrated expert knowledge and confidence. I learned the power of the thinking environment, the importance of contracting and of the importance of words. I will embed Thinking Pairs into my coaching sessions and use at work with my colleagues.”
“Being able to share and experience with others in a true safe environment. It was useful to reflect and be able to challenge and gain insight. Taking time to think will be useful as well as the use of questions and the power of listening.’ Jake Watkins, Management Consultant, Penna Plc
‘You helped bring the books (Time to Think, More Time to Think – Nancy Kline) to life. My awareness is increased around what creates a ‘Thinking Environment’ – the components, the process and the questions. I learned the power of having space to think with a committed thinking partner.”
“I found the practical demonstrations (with Jane as the thinking partner and then as the coach) very helpful. I learned the value of the ‘paradox’ around being a thinking partner and to trust the system to facilitate a real paradigm shift.”
