Think Differently

A short prep trail on how you think — your assumptions, habits of mind and blind spots — before Leading Others with Emotional Intelligence.

4 stops · +60 XP

Before you can lead others well, you need to understand how you think. Every leader runs on assumptions, mental shortcuts and habits of mind, most of them invisible to us. Self-awareness starts here: noticing how you see, judge and decide, so you can choose to think differently when it matters. Walk these four stops before Camp 3.

1Stop 1 · Your lens

What experiences shaped how you see the world? Name one belief about people or work you've never really questioned.

2Stop 2 · Your shortcuts

When you size up a person or a problem quickly, what do you look for first? When has that first read been wrong?

3Stop 3 · Under pressure

How does your thinking change under stress or time pressure? What do others see when it happens?

4Stop 4 · Changing your mind

Describe a time you changed your mind about something important. What made it possible — and where might you need to do it again?
