In a bid to help our coachees generate new thinking, it might be useful to introduce them to a coaching tool called ‘The Six Thinking Hats’, which was created by Dr. Edward De Bono, a Maltese physician who is probably best known for introducing the world to the concept of lateral thinking.
In this podcast episode we explore what ‘The Six Thinking Hats’ offers to the world of coaching and give our thoughts on why it is such a useful model to generate new thinking and new perspectives in the coaching room.
We even play out a little vignette of a coaching session for a GP looking to introduce a new initiative into her practice. I don’t think we’ll be winning any awards for our acting, but it might help to hear how the thinking hats could be used.
Edward De Bono’s hats were, of course, metaphorical, but the use of actual hats is always optional.
