September 8 Seattle Thinking Tactics Workshop Teaches Managers and Professionals How To Make Their Thinking Time More Productive
When deadlines loom and business professionals get pulled in multiple directions or caught in details, they need help to concentrate, re-orient, and think through issues -- so they can get a quality job done, on schedule.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 26, 2008 ) Seattle - Business owners, managers, engineers and other professionals grapple with the pace and complexity of business every day. When deadlines loom and they get pulled in multiple directions or caught in details, they need help to concentrate, re-orient, and think through issues -- so they can get a quality job done, on schedule. That’s what they will learn in the all-day workshop on “Thinking Tactics” with Jean Moroney at the Holiday Inn Seattle Center on Monday, September 8.
“Part of working on a pathbreaking technology is that we’re facing new, complex problems all the time and are under pressure to deliver a great product to customers quickly,” said Blake Scholl, Director of Product Development at Pelago, Inc., the Seattle startup that created the Whrrl mobile local discovery service. “Jean Moroney’s ‘Thinking Tactics’ help me concentrate and get unstuck when I’m facing the hardest, most complex problems. At my recommendation, four of my co-workers will be joining me at her workshop here in Seattle on September 8.”
In the morning, the workshop covers tactics participants can use when they feel like they need several hours of uninterrupted thinking time, but they just can’t clear that big a block, plus tactics they can use to combat overload, uncertainty, and floundering in their thinking. In the afternoon, participants get a mental toolkit for tackling big, amorphous projects that need to get done in limited amounts of time. The tactics are designed to help them make difficult time/quality tradeoffs and avoid perfectionism.
Participants bring their own business issues to class so they can try out the tactics on real-life problems. “I went into the [Los Angeles] Thinking Tactics workshop with a couple of problems to think about, one which I thought was unsolvable. I worked on it in one of the exercises—and saw what to do. Jean gave me a method to follow,” said Jim McCrory, a lawyer from Albuquerque, NM.
The real-life application makes the course applicable to a wide range of business people. Alec Bass, an Information Security Specialist who attended a Thinking Tactics workshop in Baltimore, reported that “Everyone I spoke to during the breaks felt as if Jean tailored the workshop for them. Considering the varieties of professions and personalities that were represented, it is clear that Thinking Tactics can benefit anyone who wants to think.”
“This class attracts an ambitious and interesting group,” said Jean Moroney, President of Thinking Directions. “Whether they are managers or engineers, lawyers or marketing specialists, they solve problems for the business, make business decisions, and dig up facts the business needs. They are the brains of a company. But no matter how bright or motivated they are, sometimes they’ll hit a mental block such as overload or uncertainty. This happens most often when they are moving outside their ‘comfort zone’ on the most creative and difficult tasks. My goal in ‘Thinking Tactics’ is to teach them exactly what to do when they hit these mental obstacles. I want to help them leverage their own expertise, so they can get more top-level work done with the same mental effort.”
Thinking Tactics will be held on Monday, September 8, 2008, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Seattle Center, 211 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109. Cost: $325 per person (includes continental breakfast and deli lunch). Pre-registration by September 3 is required to guarantee a seat.
