Unconsciously fearing potentially uncomfortable extra measures of higher-order thinking keep unknowingly fearful people from using #metacognition to strengthen their minds, bodies, and souls. Overcoming #phronemophobia starts with the cognitive clarity about its likely presence.

Give your #InnerChild a seat at your Rethinking Table. In Enclave Academy’s imagined “Shoeless Feet on Soft Warm Grass” Psychological Safety Staging Environment, you run around your mind’s sunlit yard with Trevor Noah’s video. See if you already feel the book’s promise of safety.

#WorldGratitudeDay. Grateful I am to be nurtured since childhood in the “Psychological Highlands” of the #ScottishPresbyterian philosophy of thinking and living at an “altitude of gratitude.” For each breath you, others, and I breathe, let’s maintain an “attitude of #gratitude.”

#CarlJung’s psychology offers insights for #leadership. His #metacognition guides collaboration, innovation, collective #wellbeing, and much more. His work illuminates individual and collective behaviors, facilitates growth, and enriches #HumanFlourishing. positivepsychology.com/jungian-psycho…

Yes, a deep sense of gratitude overflows each time others and I look out and up in the historic architectural masterpiece, Fourth Church—directly across from the #HancockCenter on Chicago’s #MagnificentMile. In-person or online, gratefully visit soon fourthchurch.org.

The threat of #ethnonationalism in #Germany resonates with #CitizenThinkers in the US. “…an openly far-right extreme party…is a shrill wake-up alarm for all of us democrats, for all those who stand for freedom, openness, and tolerance.” —#DietmarWoidke nytimes.com/2024/09/22/wor…

Smilingly start a “Leaders #ThinkToThink™ Meeting” with all heads and non-dominant (!) hands—in Rodin’s #TheThinker pose. Nudge everyone to recommit to #metacognitive regulation. For 60 seconds, maintain silence as people identify and adjust—as needed—counterproductive mindsets.

After at least 3 attempts, come back here, please, and post below this #Xtweet at least a sentence or two about your and your team’s experience with the meeting effectiveness exercise outlined herein. Context, practice, and patience are required each time you try this experiment.

The #ThinkerDoer, this masterpiece is nicknamed by Enclave Academy. “…a man lost in thought, but whose powerful body suggests a great capacity for action, has become one of the most celebrated sculptures ever known.” —Musée Rodin #ThinkToThink™. musee-rodin.fr/en/musee/colle…

Online tips to guide us to “think better about our #thinking” are increasing every day during the countdown to #Election2024. Risks of the mostly unconscious grip on minds of a #FixedMindset—and the #GroupThink bias—can be reversed with the #GrowthMindset and #CriticalThinking.

Occasionally take outdoors your team of #ThinkerDoers. In weather warm or not, move your #metacognition masters into nature’s abundance and unpredictability. When outside, minds think beyond #WalledInThinking. Walk around the mind’s blocks. Pause for deeply oxygenating breathing.

Have strategic fun asking your #cothinkers to pause and pose—for 60 seconds—as if they’re Rodin’s #TheThinker. Guide an easy silence as everyone breathes deeply while #rethinking their thinking in the #ThinkerDoer Pose that’s practiced during an Enclave Academy Rethink Retreat.™

With due credit to ChatGPT for generating—through their #AI-powered image generator—these curated graphic interpretations of my scant instructions for illustrations of teams of #ThinkerDoers engaged in #metacognition meetings while thinking in the pose of Rodin’s #TheThinker.

#MindsInMotion at Harper College tugs, pulls, and nudges #ThinkerDoer minds to move, #think, and “do beyond” self-imposed or societally inflicted cognitive limitations. #Metacognition is a mentally mobilizing force that propels us into uncharted #thinking territory. #RethinkIt.

“Consider the source,” a CEO mentor advised me about receiving feedback. He said all feedback is valuable, though sometimes more for the giver than me as the recipient. Some people offset with feedback for leaders related insecurity about themselves. I do my best to be receptive.

#MindsInMotion—now! Business students, faculty, and visitors are keenly interested in focusing on exploring ways human minds and artificial “minds”—i.e., #AI tools—#think together to work and play. DM if you want to audit program on 10.23.24, and I’ll check seat availability.
