The TRICKY BUSINESS of Solving Problems
Proven strategies for solving your biggest challenges
Keynote program for association and corporate meetings and events
Effective problem solving is essential for leaders and professionals. Unfortunately, we often take an unstructured approach to solving problems—relying primarily on our own intuition and experience.
That method is, at best, hit or miss.
In this program, audience members learn proven (and often neglected) steps of a strategic problem solving process.
As a former professional magician, Steve shares how magicians manipulate subconscious assumptions and perceptions to prevent the audience from figuring out the solution (secret) to the illusions. He shows how those same mental “errors” can also thwart problem solving in our work as professionals, and shares strategies for recognizing them and mitigating their effects.
Throughout the program, audience members participate in fun, interactive illusions while gaining key insights into improving problem solving.
After this session attendees will be able to:
- Ask the questions that are essential for success at each step of the problem solving process
- Use the “Climb Up/Look Down” method to identify core and associated problems
- Examine and adjust their current approach to gathering and assessing information
- Check for unrecognized assumptions at key points in the problem solving process
