About

The Thinking Environment was conceived by Nancy Kline, Founder of Time to Think after many years of research and observation in all walks of life and work.

In the Business of Thinking, we’re all about making space for quality thinking as the antithesis to being busy, being interrupted, being addicted to busy-ness and not truly thinking for ourselves.  Whether it’s home or work, how many times have you asked the questions:  'What was I thinking?'  'What were you thinking?'

We’re about supporting you in learning to make good decisions even better, to solve problems creatively, to test unexamined assumptions, to innovate, enhance communications, improve stakeholder relationships, and lead the way through complex and challenging situations. 

By becoming a Thinking Environment for ourselves and for others, we are able to both influence and create the conditions for some truly superb independent thinking, for individuals and groups in all aspects of life.

In learning how to apply a Thinking Environment with the ten components of Attention, Equality, Ease, Appreciation, Encouragement, Feelings, Information, Diversity, Incisive Question and Place working simultaneously, you’ll experience a transformative effect.  

It’s powerful and it’s a life changing investment in us as individuals, in others and in saving so much wasted time.  In short, it’s a paradox, complex yet very simple.  A hugely liberating experience enabling better thinking and as a result such better outcomes, in everything we do.
