How To Improve Your Thinking By Alyssa Lowery, PhD

Being a better thinker can improve your relationships, your work, and your emotional intelligence. But “improving your thinking” is so abstract; it’s hard to know where to start, or what starting would even look like. In this course, you'll learn how to do just that from Alyssa Lowery Ph.D., a philosophy instructor at Vanderbilt University.

We often think of thinking as an isolated, solitary activity. But after this lesson, you'll be able to recognize the way in which thinking happens with other people.

Being a great thinker starts before you ever crack open a book or enter a conversation. After this lesson, you'll be able to begin cultivating the virtue of open-mindedness.

Our cultural emphasis on efficiency is often in tension with what makes for great thinking: patience and care. After this lesson, you'll be able to take your time with an idea or question, setting yourself up for a thought you can be proud of.

Some of the most critical tools in your thinking toolkit are distinctions. After this lesson, you'll be able to deploy one essential distinction to avoid being swept into a haze of messy ideas.

A place where vagueness often slips into thinking or conversations is in confusing descriptive and normative sentences. After this lesson, you'll be able to use this distinction to this more carefully about these important concepts.

When you're already inclined to think something, it's easy to be satisfied with the first argument for it that you hear. But after this lesson, you'll be able to look for the strongest argument to keep your thinking sharp.

You might already be skeptical of Wikipedia, but what makes for an actually trustworthy source of information? After this lesson, you'll be able to trace an idea to its source and then make sure it meets your standards.

Generalizations are both fast and useful, but sometimes they become a way to avoid thinking carefully about a topic. After this lesson, you’ll be able to use generalizations effectively, and avoid them when necessary.

Now, what's this really about? After this lesson, you'll be able to use the philosophical trick of "thought experiments" to clear away the fluff and get to an idea's core principles.

Perhaps the most famous philosopher of all time, Socrates, opened almost all of his conversations with one question: "What is that?" After this lesson, you'll be able to avoid being stumped by this simple question and instead provide a clear account of your subject matter.

When you already know you're right, it's really easy to dismiss your opponents. After this lesson, you'll be able to use the principle of charity to make sure you give those who disagree with you their proper due.

One of the most familiar fallacies is the ad hominem. But after this lesson, you'll be able to point out this fallacy accurately and avoid a common mistake: making the ad hominem fallacy's evil twin.

A common phrase is "begging the question." But for philosophers, this phrase has a very particular meaning. After this lesson, you'll be able to use the phrase in its philosophical sense and avoid the fallacy to which it refers.

Answers are overrated! After this lesson, you'll be able to ask two key questions to get to the heart of any issue, problem, or conversation.

Some of our most popular ideas rely on untenable claims about truth as a whole. After this lesson, you'll be able to avoid these often contradictory claims and speak more confidently on one of the most fundamental questions.

If you are new to the role of a manager, the task can seem challenging. The success of a team depends as much on individual effort as the direction the collective force takes. Here’s your first lesson: Helping others succeed ensures your triumph.

Make sure your employees understand that your feedback is intended to help them develop and grow. Structure the discussion in a manner that leads to a plan for achieving behavioral change.

Science shows how our animal brain is wired to view change with suspicion. Assess if you are an early adopter or a naysayer or perhaps on the middle ground. Belief in the change helps translate it while allaying the fears.

Practice 5: Lead Your Team Through Change

When communicating a change to your team, provide the emotional context. Explain the reasoning and implications and invite feedback.

How do you manage your energy and prevent getting sapped by non-essential activities? When are you at your highest energy level, and when is it at its lowest ebb? Answering questions like these will help you focus on executing the job better.

Manage your own energy as well as your team's. Boost your energy with simple activities as needed and prioritize tasks according to when your energy is highest.

If you have embraced the six practices described in the earlier episodes, it is time to make a shift for long-term change. Learn to achieve this without derailing from the goal.

Becoming a good manager means being intentional about how you inspire, engage and support your team. Commit long-term to developing the coaching and listening skills that managing requires.

Renowned innovation specialist Larry Keeley teams up with Ryan Pikkel, Brian Quinn, and Helen Walters to look at the optimum conditions that facilitate breakthroughs in their glossy, colorful book, Ten Types of Innovation. Stay tuned to this series to learn how you can start your innovation journey to transform your business into a gamechanger.

Ten Types Of Innovation: Larry Keeley, Ryan Pikkel, Helen Walters, And Brian Quinn

What is innovation? Is it a science or a craft, the result of hard work or a stroke of genius? Get set to launch the journey to discover what makes innovation sustainable and how to practice it more often.

Innovations don't last and that's why you have to think on your feet constantly. Larry Keeley warns against mistaking it for improvements on existing products as you are only setting yourself up for failure. Find out why.

Innovation is about more than unique product breakthroughs. To innovate, think of new ways to approach everything related to your product from relationships to supply chain to generating revenue.

If the book's title wasn't a disclosure already, get set to explore the ten types of innovations that help organize your business better. Whether it is profit model, network, structure, or process innovations, a metamorphosis of any kind is welcome.

Behind The Scenes: The “Backstage” Innovations

There are ten types of innovation based on the different areas of an organization. The configuration category includes profit model, network, management structure and process innovations.

The next step is to look at the products and services. Keeley's two “offering innovations” help you tweak product performance as well as system innovation.

You're On Stage: The “Offering” Innovations

Offer innovations are those that capture customer attention. Look for ways to enhance your product performance and systems to create fresh value for customers.

Once you have got the house in order, it is time to view the outward-facing elements of improving the user experience. Learn the four steps of service, channel, brand, and engagement to nail this category of innovation.

The Cameras Are Rolling: “Experience” Innovations

A positive user experience will build brand loyalty and drive sales. Focus innovation on the user experience from channel and brand to customer engagement.

By now you have had a refresher course in the ten key innovations in a business. It is time to prepare and get your homework done. These three things should be on your list.

How To Start Innovating: Do Your Homework

Innovation requires a scientific, disciplined approach. Study your company's innovation track record, take a look at your rivals, and seek good ideas from outside your industry.

Just deciding that you want to innovate is not enough, you need to vocalize that intent. Showing others what you are aiming for, picking the people who are going to make it happen, and communicating the mission with clarity are predominant considerations.

How To Start Innovating: Make A Declaration Of Intent

A declaration of intent will help you drive innovation in your organization. Create a document that defines your goals and communicates your strategy, including your starting point and measures for success.

It is no mystery, organizations that innovate more tend to do better than the others, Keeley backs it up with research. But how does one integrate innovations? Take a page out of Ford Motor's experience.

When you combine different innovations across your organization at different times, you create a stronger product offering and industry position. Look for ways to consistently integrate new methods of doing things to gain exceptional results.

Self-help guru Robin Sharma offers the ultimate key to success, and it is a secret that 95% of people seem to be unaware of. His book, The 5 AM Club, explores how a significant change in your daily routine can also turn about your life for the better. Let's get started.

If you are looking to boost your creativity, productivity, health, and overall happiness, Robin Sharma has a simple solution: wake up earlier! Find out why he recommends an early start to the day.

The main reason why we are unable to complete what we set out to do is a distraction. We are always getting waylaid by digital distractions, people, and even our busy minds. Is it possible to rein in these horses? Here's what science says.

Neuroscientists say waking up at 5 AM enables heightened focus on a high-value activity, and achieves flow using the improved processing power of the brain. The process is aided by the prefrontal cortex, which temporarily ignores distractions.

Did you know that a massage can come to your aid more than as a relaxing technique? There are many such tips in this episode to help you join the 5 AM club.

Tips to wake up early include discipline, working out for super fitness, a controlled diet, passion for work, and a full-body massage.

People who make history, the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, have certain qualities that make them who they are. Of course, they wake up very early, but there's more to it. Find out how they structure their days to outperform themselves every day.

Internalize The Four Focuses Of History Makers

Four qualities that set apart great minds: they are not defined by their talent but by how they realize their potential, they avoid distraction, personal mastery practice, use day stacking to improve by 1% daily.

So Robin Sharma has convinced you to wake up at 5 AM. But what will you do once you are up early? Here are four things you should concentrate on, suggests the self-help guru.

To improve personal mastery, work on your mindset (psychology), heartset (emotionality), healthset (physicality), and soulset (spirituality). These are the four Interior Empires to work on in the victory hour of 5 AM to 6 AM.

Learn the keys to forming habits, also find out why some people fail at what they set out to do while others succeed. Robin Sharma lays out the five scientific truths behind excellence.

Implement The Habit Installation Protocol

Willpower, personal discipline, recovery, four-part habit-forming routine, and heightened self-control constitute the science behind excellence.

Simply waking up early won't be enough. You need to distribute the victory hour wisely. Robin Sharma suggests the 20/20/20 formula. Take a look at how it works.

Divide the victory hour into 20-minute time slots for exercise, reflection, and growth. The 2X3 Mindset requires you to triple your performance to double your effectiveness.

Besides resting the body and mind, quality sleep elevates performance and improves life expectancy. Learn how to put a perfect end to the day in this episode.

Try relaxing with a chat, meditation, read something calming, or take a bath. Stay away from technology to avoid sleep deprivation.

Peak performance is not possible without periodic breaks. Know more about the twin-cycle of elite performance and how to set it in motion. The proverb, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, makes complete sense.

Embrace The Twin Cycle Of Elite Performance

Alternate focused work with fun and relaxation to recharge and renew yourself. Take two technology-free complete off days in a week to trigger elite performance.

Let's round up with a look at ten things that super achievers. Whether you swear by the 90/90/1 rule, the 60/10 method, or the 2nd wind workout, these tactics will keep you on the path to progress.

Zone in on the Tight Bubble of Total Focus to avoid all distractions. Commit to spending the next 90 days to use the first 90 minutes of your day to the one thing that, when achieved, will help further your journey. Work for 60 minutes and then take a 10-minute break.

Build your ability to connect with your audience and convey your ideas in a clear and resonant way. Mike Lynn and Rob Salafia, principals at thoughtLEADERS, LLC share how to create meaningful connections between you and your audience to build momentum and buy-in.

Messengers are connectors. They bring truth, meaning, insight, and news to their recipients. That’s a big job. Of course, we all should work on conveying the right words in a thoughtful, structured way, but we should also learn to be effective messengers.

The course will have multiple benefits in your work. You’ll put yourself on the path towards congruency and consistency in how you come across.

Getting Present is the ability to eliminate distractions and bring your full attention, confidence, and focus to the person or matter at hand. This addresses self-regulation techniques to stay emotionally grounded in stressful situations.

Executive presence is how we show up and the impact that we have on others in a specific role and environment.

Getting present is a vital first step for high performance in any activity. Accomplished athletes, artists, and professionals in every industry strive to do it well, because clearing your mind to be in the here and now lets you focus on the task at hand.

Getting present is a vital first step for high performance in any activity.

Breathing is the basis for getting grounded, for developing self-regulation, resilience, and accessing our critical thinking under stress.

Think of every exit as an entrance to somewhere else and develop a practice you can maintain and show up with consistently.

Executive presence is something you convey all the time. You don’t just put it on or take it off in certain settings, like a mask. Before you enter a room, you need to be aware of who you are as a unique person, so you can bring your best self forward.

If you can work hard to get authentic in your interactions, you’ll not just fulfill your duty to be a messenger, but also your obligation to be yourself.

Executive presence is not about being stoic and looking like we have all the answers. Vulnerability is not about weakness. Confidence and authenticity are earned through our personal experiences and revealed by how much we’re willing to be transparent, open, genuine, and vulnerable.

Compelling executive presence means that you’re intentional and deliberate in the way others think about you, because you have found a way to bring your authentic self to the table.

Hone your executive presence, take a more relational approach. How do you relate to the person or people in the room? How do you seek to connect with them? Of course they’ll receive your carefully written presentation, but how do you connect and interact with them to foster working relationships and build shared outcomes?

One of the most impactful ways for you to actively listen is to paraphrase or clarify what the other person is saying.

One of the areas that we can develop and that has the most immediate impact on this is our physical presence. The expression that we wear on our faces, the way we hold or fold our arms, the way that we stand either tall or small, sends signals to others and determines whether we are seen as confident and trustworthy or not."

One of the easiest ways to develop and expand our physical presence is to focus on our facial gestures. Our face is the first thing that another person looks to for signals of trust.

Our tones of voice, the speed, volume and words we say all leave a lasting impact on our audiences. We all have the power to create connection through not just what we say, but how we say it. This is called vocal presence.

It’s important to adjust our tone of voice to the situation and the effect we’re trying to create.

Virtual interactions are a reality of our working world. If you’re mindful of applying the best practices of compelling executive presence when you’re in-person or operating remotely, you’ll build a consistent executive persona that is present, authentic, and connected.

Authenticity is all the more important in virtual interactions. Be warm. Be expressive. Be human.

Have you ever said to yourself, “why won’t they do what I tell them to do?” Driving audiences to action is about enlisting others to take up our mission and execute on it like it was their own. It takes delivering a compelling message that resonates with one’s intended audience. To achieve this takes thoughtful preparation, listening, empathy, and insight.

Gaining momentum around our ideas and initiatives can be a frustrating activity, yet it’s a critical step for teams and organizations achieving their goals.

Narratives structures are powerful containers for values, insights, and meaning. They help point out the blind spots and common threats as well as lift us up above the fray to see an inspired future.

Narratives allow us to slow down and pull into the station to pick up the very passengers who will be responsible for executing on our aspirations and high hopes.

Our journey of developing our executive presence covered four main areas of focus. Getting present, authentic, connected, and momentum all contribute to supporting executive presence.

The inner journey work of getting authentic allows us to get connected with others. We become approachable, curious, and empathetic.

Compelling executive presence is not a one-time fix. It’s an ongoing journey to help build the best interactions that you can with your professional relationships. We need to work every day to be present so that we can be fully engaged in every interaction.

Beyond getting yourself present, compelling executive presence requires being true to who you are as your best, most authentic, and intentional self.
