Learn and use cognitive flexibility

Introduction

Cognitive flexibility is a complex skill that makes it possible to analyse reality and reinterpret it, understanding a previously unknown structure and facing it in a new, unconventional manner.
Developing cognitive flexibility means acquiring techniques for communicating and managing complexities that allow people to increase the probability of successfully facing even the most problematic situations.

Purpose

• Every day we tend to commit recurring errors and repeat behaviours that trap us in situations that we find difficult to get out of.
• You will learn about the most common evaluation errors that you can commit, learn that NOT following your instinct will take you far, and you will improve your performance at work.
• You will also learn techniques that will help you develop cognitive flexibility, understand the structure of situations and adopt a new interpretation of reality.

Participants

• The topics covered concern all company roles.
• The course is essential for people who want to enhance their effectiveness, especially in situations when communication plays a decisive role.
