Mental models are a set of personal opinions, perceptions, and views of the world. These values, beliefs, assumptions, and knowledge have been developed over time, are thought of as ‘truths,’ and are what guide people in their everyday lives. They are manifested in the taken-for-granted behaviors by which we function and often are manifesting in opinions we hold. Existing mental models resist change. As leaders and coaches, how do we learn, unlearn, and relearn thereby changing mental models that no longer serve us well?
