Hi everyone, and welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.

Let’s start with a quick definition. A mental model is a framework or way of thinking that helps us understand the world, make decisions, and solve problems more effectively. It’s like a blueprint for how to approach challenges and navigate complexity.

Now, here’s a simple analogy: Imagine you’re driving to a new destination. Without a map, you might take wrong turns, waste time, or even get lost. But with a map—your mental model—you have a clear route, helping you avoid mistakes and reach your goal safer and faster.

In the same way, mental models give us a clearer path for managing change. They simplify complexity and guide us toward better outcomes

And in today's episode, we are diving into a mental model that might sound a little counterintuitive at first, but is an absolute game changer when it comes to problem solving : Inversion Thinking.
