What Is Your Thinking Style?

We all use a variety of thinking styles in our daily lives, but we tend to favor some but rarely use others—and that hurts our ability to make good decisions.

My Thinking Styles™ from Pearson TalentLens helps you find the right balance, so you can make the best choices, in life and at work.

The Seven Powerful Thinking Styles:

  • Analytical
  • Inquisitive
  • Insightful
  • Open-Minded
  • Systematic
  • Timely
  • Truth Seeking

Knowing your preferred style will help you approach problems and decisions with the right mindset so you can be more successful.

Between now and March 25th, HCI users are being given access to a complimentary administration of My Thinking Styles and a personalized Development Report.

Then on March 25th at 12:00 EST, Breanne Harris will give a brief overview of the seven styles and she’ll help you interpret your results as well as explain how different thinking styles interact within a team environment.

Your report will unlock a unique combination that will help you be more successful with your decisions, relationships, projects, and every aspect of your life – so don’t miss out!

This webinar is based on the groundbreaking new book:
Dare to Serve:
How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others

Becoming a “Dare to Serve” Leader

Our culture celebrates “The Spotlight Leader.”

The leader is on stage – the spotlight is entirely on them – in short, it is all about them.

This leader declares a new vision, has all the answers, and is a high achiever.  We tolerate them being a bit self-absorbed because they are going places that we want to go, and if they are successful, we will be successful… so we think.

We vaguely know there is another kind of leadership – Servant leadership. This kind of leader is known for humility.

They shun the spotlight and listen carefully to the people because they care deeply about the people. They make decisions that serve the people well; they give others credit.

We wonder about these leaders ..
But We Shouldn’t!

Join Cheryl Bachelder, CEO of Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen, Inc., for this informative session on developing a better leadership strategy!

Cheryl wants to suggest a new idea – If you move yourself out of the spotlight and dare to serve others well, you will deliver superior performance results – and she’s got the experience to prove it!

Join Cheryl as she talks to Becky Robinson about the ideas that have shaped her own leadership journey, and make up the basis of her new book:

Dare to Serve:
How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others

A Must Read For Every Leader!
