RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
JAMES P. (PAT) CARLISLE

“Thanks for such a fantastic session. The ‘Hats’ thinking structure is something we will benefit from for years to come. It was great to spend time with you.”

- Roger Blythe, Vice President-Business Analysis Chick-fil-A

"As founder and long time CEO of Lancaster Laboratories, I was always on the lookout for good external advisors who could help my company. Pat Carlisle was one of those important persons in the 80's and 90's during our most rapid growth. Able to work with all levels, we used him extensively in the development of our key leadership team. His expertise with the Edward de Bono thinking methods and special relationship with Dr. Edward de Bono only add to what he brings to the table. I highly recommend him!"

- Earl H. Hess, Ph.D., Founder and former President of Lancaster Laboratories Inc.

An excellent presenter, fully knowledgeable of Dr. de Bono's methods, Pat is also able to effectively bridge cultural and language issues with his teaching style."

- Doris Martinez, Dir. General, Mentis

"Pat, I want you to know how much I enjoyed the week. I think it will be an event we (at Juniata College) will reflect on many years from now as an important start."

- Tom Kepple President, Juniata College

"He brings a wealth of experience in his use of the de Bono methods. He is excellent and really knows his stuff. I learned a lot and I think you will too. I commend him to you."

- Len Marrella, Spring Ridge Financial Group

“Bravo! Great Job! Thanks so much.” Walter Curt, President of Power Monitors Inc. After a three day Course in Creativity with key PMI employees.

The Course in Creativity combines and integrates two of Dr. Edward de Bono's powerful thinking programs—the program in parallel thinking, Six Thinking Hats; and the program for innovation and creativity, Lateral Thinking.

The program can be designed and delivered in house in a two or three day format and can be extended over time for a more integrated learning approach. You not only learn to effectively use Dr. de Bono's powerful methods, but also will employ them to focus on live and relevant business issues. These thinking methods are like 'software for the mind,' and the applications are endless for individual, team and organizational use.
