INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER

Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson first coined the phrase 'necktop computer' in his best-selling book SOFTWARE FOR THE BRAIN which shows how our brain is the ultimate personal computer.

"But", he says, "we are a little short on software!"
Michael Hewitt-Gleeson has taught thinking to more people around the world than any Australian in history.

Dr Hewitt-Gleeson founded the SCHOOL OF THINKING (SOT) with Edward de Bono in 1979 and helped develop the"Thinking Caps" idea in New York. Now the school has been running internationally for 25 years training business leaders, designing education programs for schools, families and government.

Michael started the SOT in Australia in 1988 when he conducted Australia's first SOT thinking lesson, in Canberra, in the presence of both the Governor General and the Prime Minister. His eminent career includes best-selling books, lectures, and many celebrated public appearnces with world leaders including a first US meting with the Dalai Lama in 1981. He now resides in Melbourne from where SOT is exporting thinking lessons and daily lessons to over 40 countries around the world.


SOFTWARE FOR YOUR BRAIN!

How do you rate your own brainpower?

What is your 'necktop personal computer'?

How much software do you have?

SESSION ONE: THE PROBLEM

In this first session you will have the opportunity to do the School of Thinking Brainpower Audit. It will help you rate how you are currently using your own brainpower. A trained thinker can direct his or her thinking and use it in a deliberate manner to produce a desired effect. To a trained and skilled thinker, thinking is a tool that can be used at will to get things DONE.

Then you will explore the Western tradition of thinking and discover a fresh insight about how the Plato Truth Virus (PTV) has made us all such slow thinkers.

SESSION TWO: THE SOLUTION

In this second session you will be given the universal brain software - CVS to BVS - which will enable you to accelerate your speed of thought and it only takes one second to use.
