Using the card

It is widely used for stress management.

The model:

The CIA abbreviation stands for Control, Influence, Adapt.
The essence of the model is the fact that there are certain aspects of life that cannot be influenced or changed. These factors affect our lives, but we cannot change them, we need to accept and adapt to them.
It is more sensible to focus on the aspects we can influence, where we have a chance to directly impact the situation.

The model helps the client realize that the aspects they don't have control over are not worth stressing about or forcing it to change.

Social competency development cards

The cards are aimed to develop social comptences through introducing main models of most frequently arising development topics. Such main competences -which we depicted visually- are eg. managerial skills, situational leadership (Kenneth Blanchard), prioritization and time management (Eisenhover important-urgent matrix), handling conflict (Thomas-Killmann), creative thinking (Edward de Bono), emotional intelligence (Howard Gardner), impulse control (Goleman) etc.

Six Thinking hats

The parallel thinking is a simple model for a constructive thinking, the aim that everybody is focusing on a given topic with the same direction, but the direction is changing.
The hats are perfectly symbolizing the 6 activities of the human brain.

Conflict handling strategy

The purpose of the model is to raise awareness of individual behaviours in conflcting situations. Conflict arises in such situations where two parties' aims seem to be incompatible.

Emotional Intelligence

Our feelings influence us how we react, make decisions or predictions, thus make an impact on whatever we are doing. The emotionally intelligent people are guiding the feelings with their thoughts, instead of letting the feelings dominate on their actions.

Urgent-important matrix

The matrix of - urgent-important - which is often called also as Eisenhower matrix- defines the priorities of the tasks on the base of importance and urgency.
The idea to measure the 2 competeting taskgroups in 1 matrix was coming from the former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Dr. Stephen Covey: "I have two kinds of problems: the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent." This "Eisenhower Principle" is said to be how he organized his workload and priorities.

No matter how effective we are, sooner or later the number of tasks is surpassing the available time frame.

He recognized that great time management means being effective as well as efficient. In other words, we must spend our time on things that are important and not just the ones that are urgent.

Impulse control- Traffic lights

The model provides support in 6 steps in being conscious in ourselves when sudden impulses appear, in order to handle with them and avoid the situations repenting what has been told or done, thus the relations are not destroyed.

Situational leadership

Dr. Kenneth Blanchard management and organizational behaviour professor, sociologist and psychologist, consultant created the model.

It is one of the most widely used model during individual and group development.
