Clearing out the noise---don't act based on the noise. Set the foundation and anchor it!!! Watch out for those ice breakers!!
Being a student of Critical Thinking---Do No Harm/ Enhance thinking, it is a duty to perfect it. Lack of critical thinking can be harmful. Be aware of what you are reacting to and how I am influencing others.
There are two skills that I will work on day to day 1. clearing the noise--what matters and what doesn't matter 2. asking 50 thousand questions---its ok to ask questions until you are satisfied and cannot not ask any more.

Hi Diana, I agree--I loved Christine's phrase "clearing the noise." Clarity, clarity--and those 50 thousand questions are the way to get there. In a different post, Lorrie L talked about culling critical thinking questions that she carries with her--I do the same thing--the questions are the key, I agree--to ask ourselves and our team. I love the idea of asking ourselves critical questions--once we've practiced doing that for a while, we know ourselves better and can be aware of our biases. Great stuff!

Diana, I like the idea of discarding what does not matter. I call it uncluttering my mind. I read a great book by John Maxwell called Good Leaders Ask Great Questions. I am still learning to develop my ability to ask really good questions. I know we ask Why quite a bit, but I want to know about how can, how may, what was the reason, what can I do? what else, besides this, is there something else?
I like the idea that you offered Margaret re you and Lorrie's purse of critical questions. I will adopt that idea because it is great.
