Welcome to Teens' Street - Vol. 1

We will be learning new things and asking the right question to help us get the right answers. Today, our topic is  - System Thinking!


Systems Thinking: The Power of Connections

Imagine your life is like a video game. You're the main character, and your choices affect the whole game world. But, you're not alone - there are other characters, obstacles, and levels that all interact with each other.

Systems thinking is like being the game designer. You look at how all the pieces fit together, how they impact each other, and how you can change the game by changing the connections.

It's like solving a puzzle:

  • See the big picture (the whole game)
  • Identify the connections (how pieces interact)
  • Make changes to create the outcome you want (win the game)

Apply this to your life:

  • Your choices (actions) affect your friends, family, and community (the game world)
  • Your actions can create positive or negative loops (good or bad patterns)

By understanding these connections, you can make better choices and create the life you want (win the game) "Seeing the big picture and understanding how all the pieces fit together to create it."

It's a powerful tool to solve problems, make good decisions, and create positive change in your life and the world around you.

Systems thinking helps you become the master of your own game!

Please send me your Questions and We will handle them together in the next volume. Like and share......See you soon.

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes.

Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde

DON'T DWELL, POUNCE

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s
