In moments that matter you can get stuck in one mode of thinking.
So try #switching your perspective e.g. how might the lead actor in a play respond to this situation?

You can wait for inspiration which works occasionally and/or learn to switch your #thinking.

Writing a book called Switch Thinking. Hopefully out later this year.

Here is an example of a simple #switch;

Fast, easy, #creative.

Imagine if your #thinking was as easy to switch?

Novak Djokovic is what I call being in Box Mode; efficient, precision, mistake free

Carlos Alcaraz is what I call being in Ball Mode; fun, Playful, imaginative

You can ask why not?

In moments that matter we have a tendency to drill down in our preferred mode of #thinking. And yet a simple #switch can make all the difference.
For example:
What is?
Switch
What if?

People are using #Switch Thinking in key moments when they feel under pressure or asked an unexpected question in a meeting for example.

Here is how you can perform at your best in moments that matter.

Is The Pitt the best example of #leadership in action? Teamwork, problem solving, diversity in perspective, decision making under pressure.

Fascinating study - prompts can enhance #creativity.
Pleased to share a recent study from myself and @jamesckaufman.bsky.social. We used instructional prompts to guide participants through the creative problem-solving process. They improved solution creativity, and the effect was mediated by engagement.

You can think about what is?
#Switch
And think about what if?

A small switch - a big difference

Try switching your #problem statement from using rational language to emotional and see what happens.

For example:
What satisfies our customers?
#Switch
What do they love ?

There are many ways to make a long term change (e.g. #Atomic Habits) but what if you needed to make a #change right now, what would you do?

Don’t you love diverse perspectives, ideas, people?

My daughter just had a spray tan. Her skin colour went from pale to brown. She is still the same wonderful person. Skin colour seems the most trivial thing to judge a person.

This is my #switch thinking model. You can switch between box mode and ball mode at any time via any of the 6 switches and then try and connect the ideas from either mode.

There are 6 switches in Switch #Thinking e.g. switch your focus. I get asked which one to use? Allocate one switch per number. Roll a die and whatever number comes up use that. Randomness leads to #creativity,

I was playing around with this 2 by 2 #change matrix, structured vs unstructured; short term vs long term.
