Imagine you are fifty something, having raised 4 kids and your spouse comes home and wants you to think about adopting a baby.

Yikes! Welcome to Jim Robson’s life.  His son River has changed him forever in ways he could never have imagined.

Welcome Lorne Kelton speaker, author and founder of www.ThinkShift.com. On this week’s show we spoke about enhancing our critical thinking skills, why it’s important and  how to do it. Lorne invited us to challenge our ‘lazy’ thinking ideas and then ask ourself some powerful questions to help us get to the other side of negative.

Pay Attention
Ask yourself what are the feeling behind it
Reflect on the root cause
Challenge your assumptions and biases
Find meaning in what happened
Execute a plan

Learn more in one of Lorne’s books, available on his site and/or listen in to the whole show here:
