In this page, you will read about The 7 Thinking Hats.
I won't elaborate on The 6 Thinking Hats. You will read a lot about it on the internet. Let's go back to Wikipedia and what it says about The 6 Thinking Hats:
"Six Thinking Hats is a system designed by Edward de Bono which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats."
And it also explains:
"Six distinct directions are identified and assigned a color (a metaphor). The six directions are:
Managing Blue - what is the subject? what are we thinking about? what is the goal? Can look at the big picture.
Information White - considering purely what information is available, what are the facts?
Emotions Red - intuitive or instinctive gut reactions or statements of emotional feeling (but not any justification)
Discernment Black - logic applied to identifying reasons to be cautious and conservative. Practical, realistic.
Optimistic response Yellow - logic applied to identifying benefits, seeking harmony. Sees the brighter, sunny side of situations.
Creativity Green - statements of provocation and investigation, seeing where a thought goes. Thinks creatively, out of the box."
Now, what really is a Pumpink Hat?
Resilient Pumpink - Resilient Pumpink combines the big picture thinking of Blue, factual thinking of White, gut reactions of Red, logical thinking of Black, optimistic and logical thinking of Yellow, and the provocative, investigative and creativity of Green.
Resilience is a coping mechanism. A survival skill that helps a person
overcome problems in life. It is a psychological strength that helps in the coping and recovery from issues and calamities, such as financial problems, health issues, natural disasters, medical emergencies, work, divorce, or the death of a loved one.
It is that kind of hat that will make you say, "Bring it on!", because you are so ready for any kind of obstacle that comes your way.
So this is not just for femme fatales. It's a unisex colored hat for everyone to aim for. For there will be times when we all need resilience and wear all The Six Thinking Hats using the seventh, The Pumpink Hat.
