Why Is Divergent Thinking Useful? In this engaging video, we will discuss the concept of divergent thinking and its importance in your personal and professional life. Divergent thinking is a creative approach to problem-solving that encourages generating multiple ideas instead of focusing on a single solution. This method can significantly enhance your creativity and adaptability, allowing you to think freely and explore numerous possibilities.
We will cover how divergent thinking can improve your problem-solving skills by encouraging you to view challenges from various angles. This can be particularly useful when facing significant life changes or decisions, as it opens up new paths you may not have considered before.
Additionally, we will highlight the role of divergent thinking in fostering open-mindedness and empathy. By embracing different perspectives, you can develop a deeper understanding of others, which enriches your personal growth journey.
We will also share practical techniques to incorporate divergent thinking into your daily routine, such as brainstorming and mind mapping. These methods can help you generate innovative solutions and enhance your overall well-being.

OFNR is a core framework in Nonviolent Communication that helps people express themselves with clarity and empathy. It involves four steps: making objective Observations, identifying genuine Feelings, understanding underlying Needs, and expressing clear Requests. This approach promotes respectful dialogue, reduces conflict, and fosters deeper human connection in both personal and professional settings.
At a personal level, am a student of systems thinking, human behavior and curious about intersections of science, human flourishing and spirituality.

Coaching: Practicing coach since 2012. Having applied coaching on self to manage transition from corporate life to bootstrapping United Minds, have been privileged to coach senior executives, CXOs, families and promoters. It's truly fascinating to witness the moments where they steer towards their purpose after overcoming their fears/concerns.
Conversations: While working on leadership development projects, one of the important discoveries was ‘the importance of authentic conversations’! The 'way' a leader treats and converses with the team had a significant impact on them! That discovery gave birth to our conversations practice. This is one of our flagship practices, well received by our clients. We've developed structured process of conversations based on 3C, 5E and CARE models. More than 5500 participants have been trained as conversation specialists so far.
Culture augmentation & renewal: Before it's too late, many organizations realize the importance of culture as a driver of business performance. We come in to assess and work with the entire org system to create a culture of connect, up/re-skilling at micro levels and positive employee experiences. This helps our clients to enhance their ranking in Great Place To Work (R) Assessment.
Experience management: For our individual clients, we help them manage their life experiences incl. managing transition events in life/work. For corporate clients, it's about designing employee experiences and customer experiences.

Help learners visualise their thinking and categorise complex information using a Mind Map. This video introduces the Mind Map as a powerful graphic organiser built around the key thinking skill: categorise.
Mind Maps support learners in building structured knowledge around a central idea by visually grouping related information into categories. This strategy enables deeper understanding by showing how concepts connect and relate, helping students organise ideas before writing or explaining.
In this video, we walk through how to use Mind Maps effectively across the curriculum—from summarising Science content to planning Geography topics or structuring non-fiction writing. You’ll see how encouraging learners to sort and group ideas helps them go beyond surface-level understanding and into deeper, connected thinking.
Key takeaways: 1. Learn how to introduce and structure a Mind Map in your classroom. 2. Discover how categorising information supports planning and comprehension. 3. Use Mind Maps across subjects including Geography, Science, and English. 4. Explore how to strengthen thinking with prompts and visual cues. 5. Understand how the “categorise” thinking skill links to deeper learning.
