EDHEC Career Centre for life invite you to participate to the Alumni Summer Session webinar:
Mental flexibility: how to unhook when you think you know when you don’t
This workshop will teach you how to beware your thoughts. Our minds can be very flexible. And they can be incredibly resistant to change
Mental flexibility allows you to:
- Hold your thoughts lightly and consider them as thoughts not the truth
- Keep updating your thoughts based on context and what is useful
- Have pragmatic, flexible, increasingly complex thoughts
Objective
Increase your awareness of psychological rigidity and know the tools to increase a flexible state of mind.
Challenges
Mental flexibility is key in contexts that are ambiguous, changing and complex. What is true or working today probably won’t tomorrow.
Tool
You will understand how mental rigidity is part of the normal functioning of a human mind.
You will also know the 3 facets of mental rigidity: stories, rules and the most vicious kind, invisible rules (the ones that drive your behavior out of your awareness).
For each types, you will discover simple techniques to be on the lookout and increase your mental flexibility at any time.
