|
|
|
What are the elements of effective problem solving? |

|
|
What is the Confirmation Bias or Velcro/ Teflon Effect? |
An effect that causes us to notice the evidence that fits our thoughts and beliefs and to miss the evidence that contradicts our thoughts and beliefs. |

Problem Solving enhances your Mental Agility so that you can think flexibly and accurately about what caused the problem. By increasing your ability to see problems accurately, you will improve your Problem Solving. |
|
|
What is Put it in Perspective (PIIP)? |
To lower anxiety so that you can accurately assess the situation and deal with it. It is not to pretend "all is well" to deny real problems, or take away axiety completely. |
|
|
What is catastrophizing?
|
1. when you waste critical energy ruminating about the irrational worst case outcomes of a situation 2. It's not the same as identifying the worst case and contingency planning. Contingency Planning is productive 3. It's a slippery slope, downward-spiral thinking 4. Creates high levels of axiety, decreases focus, and increases helplessness 5. Prvents you from taking purposeful action |
|
|
How do you Put It In Perspective? |
1. Describe the Activating Event 2. Capture Worst Case thoughts 3. Generate Best Case thoughts 4. Identify Moset Likely outcomes 5. Develope a plan for dealing with Moset Likely outcomes |
|
|
What are the key principles of Put it in Perspective (PIIP)? |
Catastrophizing depletes energy: stops problem solving, and generates an unhealthy anxiety Order matters: Stop Catastrophizing by capturing the Worst, then generating the Best- both of which help you focus on the Most-Likely Develope a plan: Once focused on Most-Likely , create a plan for dealing with the situation Optimism: Primary taget of PIIP |
|

|
|
What are the kep principles for Real-Time Resilience? |
Accuracy over speed: Focus on accuracy and passing the gut test, not speed Practice: Real-Time Resilience takes ongoing practice Learning Curve: The pittfalls are common and part of the learning process Do-Over: When you hear a pittfall, pause and generate a stronger response Optimism: the primary goal of Real-Time Resilience |
