Welcome to HeadScratchers - Critical Thinking Workshops for Problem Solving and Decision Making

                                The human mind once stretched by a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions
                                                                       Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

                                            No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.
                                                                                    Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

                                          Critical Thinking results in more creative and innovative solutions,
                                         faster and more thoughful conclusions, and higher quality decisions.

                                We combine elements of thinking with Socratic methods into a 3 component framework

                                       We present numerous tools for implementing Critical Thinking in the workplace,
                                                    for use as an individual for group thinking and decisions.

                                        Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.
                                                                                  Rod Serling (1924 - 1975)

                                                 Our opinions become fixed at the point where we stop thinking.
                                                                            Joseph Ernest Renan (1823 - 1892)

                                                Our workshop classes are highly interactive, with break out groups and discussion.

                              We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
                                                                               Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

                 Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
                                                                                    John Locke (1632 - 1704)

                        Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought.
                                                                           Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986)

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
                                                                             Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

                                                                                      Knowledge is power.
                                                                             Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

                                                                    When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
                                                                                  Mary Kay Ash (1918-2001)

                                    Intelligence is something we are born with. Thinking is a skill that must be learned
                                                                                    Edward de Bono (1933 –

                                                                          The more you think, the more time you have.
                                                                                     Henry Ford (1863-1947)

                           A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
                                                                                 William James (1842-1910)

                                                          On how he made discoveries by always thinking unto them. . . .
                 I keep the subject constantly before me and wait till the first dawnings open little by little into the full light.
                                                                               Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)

                                                     Rarely do we find men who willingly to engage in hard, solid thinking.
                                            There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions.
                                                          Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
                                                                           Martin Luther King Jr (1929 - 1968)
