Ending the Dweck Mindset ideas:

If you don't have exhaustion yet from the political world, apply this business information to a political party.
​
Is your workplace set up to promote groupthink? If so, The whole decision-making process is in trouble. 
 
Great ways to foster alternative views and constructive criticism: Assign people to play the devil's advocate, taking opposing viewpoint so you can see the holes in your position. Get people to wage debates that are two different sides of the issue. Have an anonymous suggestion box that employees must contribute to as part of the decision-making process. 
 
Remember people can be independent thinkers and team players at the same time help them fill both roles.
 
Stay tuned for the Harvard Couples Conference ideas in the upcoming blogs.

The annual Couples Conference at Harvard is upon us. Harvard tends to attract some wonderful speakers and authors and researchers, people who spark ideas and make us think. They challenge us to become better counselors and disseminators of information. While I read like a fiend and am always challenging myself to have great handouts and the latest information, these conferences help me take it up a notch each year.

A couple years ago, I attended a longer conference called "The Evolution of Psychotherapy" and it had all the gurus from this field. My thought in attending was to learn from the experts, to get the best possible information from the horse's mouth. I take my training very seriously and want you to have the very best information available!

Stay tuned in the next bunch of blogs for updates from this conference.

In the meantime, "Be nice to your loved ones" remains my best advice.
