FAQ – Finding Thinking Styles

  • Finding Thinking Styles Practice Group is where we work with real data as a team.
  • We have 93 short stories from people in the study. (with permission, a study we use frequently)
  • The study is about what went through people’s minds as they decided whether or not to go out to a performance.
  • At our final meeting: we will have a set of thinking styles and ideas how to use them.

Please watch these lessons before our first Meeting #1:

  • Section 1 (only first two lessons, 41 minutes)
    • 1.1 Think Bigger
    • 1.2 Define Thinking Styles
  • Section 2 (all four lessons, 1 hour 2 minutes)
    • 2.1 Validity = Team
    • 2.2 Represent Your People
    • 2.3 Split Stories or Not?
    • 2.4 Note the Essential Cognition

Each of you will be assigned about 6-9 stories. You are expected to represent these people’s cognition in each meeting.

  • If you will miss Meeting #1, please alert us. Indi can assign people to you in advance, and you must do the homework on your own (writing notes about essential cognition on the shared Mural Board) before Meeting #2.
  • If you will miss any other Meeting, we will assign your people to others who are participating. It will affect whether or not you qualify for Certification. (You might make up for it through fabulous participation in the other meetings.)
  • If you prefer to just watch (not participate) during the meetings, please let Indi know. There are valid reasons to chose this option, even though it does not qualify you for Certification.
  • A recording of the meeting will be available for you on the page where the Zoom & Mural links are.

The course is included in this bundle with the Practice Group.

  • A decent plan is to watch the associated course lessons 30-minutes a day for 6 days before each practice meeting.
    • Start watching videos as soon as you enroll, to get a head start.
    • There are about 2-3 hours of lessons to watch per week
  • Questions about the lessons? Use Slack channel #course-thinking-styles.
  • Feel free to eat during the Zoom calls. Please bring whatever energy form you need!
  • Each meeting is 2 hours.
  • Check your local time for when to start.
  • Find the links for Zoom and Mural under each “lesson” in My Courses here on the indiyoung.com website.
    • Zoom calls: We use the same link for each of the six meetings.
    • Mural board: We collaborate using stickies on a Mural board over the whole 6 weeks.
  • Emergency! Check Slack if the meeting doesn’t seem to be happening. If Indi’s internet or electricity are down, she will let you know on the channel and postpone the meeting by a week. If the problem is on your side, we will be watching the channel and respond to you.

Discounts

  • Employees of the same org can form a Private Practice Group with Indi of 6-16 people and set your dates to suit your schedule. (or team discounts are available for the courses without the practice group)

  • Or you can get just the course, without the practice group, for half the price.
