Train others in the Six Thinking Hats methods
Facilitate important meetings including strategic planning, idea generation, new product development, and problem solving
Understand how to combine Six Thinking Hats with other de Bono methods to create customized thinking agendas for specific situations and desired outcomes.

Six Thinking Hats is a fast-paced, intense and interactive course. The measurable results include shorter meetings, thorough decisions, better communication and easier problem resolution. By mentally wearing and switching symbolic "hats," individuals or teams separate thinking into six categories for analyzing matters objectively and comprehensively. It's amazing to see the results that can be accomplished by a person or a team who knows how to separate emotion from facts, the positive from the negative and critical thinking from creative thinking.

Focus on Facilitation equips participants to manage group processes with new power and efficiency. Learn to help teams get results by combining tools from Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats, Lateral Thinking, and Power of Perception. Complete three (3) field reports after the training session and earn an Accredited de Bono Facilitator credential.
