In today’s dynamic environment, it is not enough to excel in your current surroundings… you must also envision and create the future.  A foundation for deeper understanding and more effective behaviors is to recognize that:

• We see things NOT as THEY are, but as WE are with all of our biases and blind spots
• Behaviors are rooted in our Beliefs and Values rather than being driven by situations
• If not for my thinking, I could have a radically different experience, regardless of circumstance
• Energy follows intent
• The Head and Heart operate best as an interdependent pair with a natural and ongoing tension

The foundational idea of High Order Thought™ suggests that the most effective levers to clearer and more effective thought and behavior are being aware of your “State of Mind”, your emotional state; being cognizant of your and other’s “Thinking”, mindsets, assumptions, and biases; being attentive to your “Communicating” by using the right words at the right time to the right audience to effectively communicate your intentions and ideas; and being mindful of your “Reflecting” to build deeper and more impactful insights.

Each of these foundations when frequently visited and applied can radically improve an individual and an organization’s performance level. The payback on this investment includes better performance, improved alignment, better decisions, higher productivity, better communication, more impactful execution, and increased leadership skills.
