The Effective Thinking Skills program is used to empower people by addressing the fundamental barriers and limitations to growth:

• Habits and work practices
• Attitudes
• Beliefs and expectations

Some examples of these are:

• Old habitual routines which retard the growth process
• Rapid change causing an attitudeor discomfort and therefore resistance
• The belief of being too busy and overworked
• The existing expectation that "it is already good enough"
• Traditional fixed beliefs that need to be changed.
