If you have ambitious goals, you need to understand your own psychology. This will help you to distinguish between situations where just putting in more effort will achieve your goals and situations where your own past or present thinking mistakes are holding you back and/or sabotaging your results. The more unique and/or ambitious your goal, the less likely you can simply get advice from someone else about how to achieve it. You need to identify and overcome the challenges yourself. You need a number of skills:
- How to validate your own decisions, goals, and discoveries
- How to introspect and unify any contrary motivation you feel that interferes with action, including communication
- How to develop practical productivity processes that work in your exact circumstances
This is what the tools, coaching, and mentoring in the Thinking Lab are designed for. In this free introductory call, Jean Moroney will discuss the kinds of tools available and how they can be learned through self-study. She and Lin Zinser, Head Coach of the Thinking Lab, will also discuss briefly the unique form of coaching and mentoring we offer. Then we will open up for questions and coaching. Feel free to bring any challenges you want help with. Our goal is to support you to figure out the way forward toward your goals.
This is a teaser for our 20-minute free introductory consults to the Thinking Lab. Read more here.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this video or audio?
A: You can join by video with Zoom, or by audio only with the phone bridge. Information for both ways to attend will be sent to you. You will get access to a PDF of any visuals, so you can follow along even if you are phone-only.
Q: What do I need to join by video?
A: You need a computer with reliable internet access, a microphone, and a video camera. You will need to download the Zoom app and test it out. I recommend testing it out well in advance. Here is a room to join to test: https://zoom.us/test. Just click on that link and follow the instructions. Then call into the Zoom “meeting room” for the event 5 minutes early to make sure you don’t have any technical problems.
Q: What do I need to call in by phone?
A: You can call in with any phone. Landlines are best. Cell phones often have noisy connections. But the bridge can handle them all. Details for calling in will be emailed to you.
Note: to “raise your hand” to ask questions during class, you need to be able to press * 9 on a touch tone keypad.
Q: Can I call in for free over the web?
A: Yes. You call in by Zoom over the web.
Q: Can I download a recording of the class instead of listening live?
A: Yes. If you sign up in advance for the class and can’t make it for any reason, you will be able to listen to and/or download an audio-only recording. Everyone who signs up in advance will get download information after the class is held. But try to attend live, so you can ask questions and get the full benefit of the webinar.
Q: Are there written materials for the class?
A: Yes, there is a handout. If a link is not included in your Thank You email it will be provided on the day of the event.
