Master Trainer: Six Thinking Hats, Lateral Thinking, Managment Thinking (DATT), Focus on Facilitation & Simplicity

Chuck Dymer is the president of PeopleWorks, Inc., a Kansas City-based firm that provides the place and tools for teams to develop profitable ideas.  He is an expert consultant, facilitator and trainer in Dr. Edward de Bono's techniques.

In 1987, Chuck became the first person permitted by Dr. de Bono to teach the Six Thinking Hats concept.  Since that time Chuck has successfully trained thousands of executives, managers and their direct reports in Dr. de Bono's techniques.  In 1993 he joined the dBTS training network and became a certified Master Trainer in the Lateral Thinking as well as a certified Master Trainer in the Six Thinking Hats and Direct Attention Thinking Tools. (There are a fewer than one dozen people worldwide who are Master Trainers in all three of the de Bono workshops.)

Before starting PeopleWorks, Chuck spent 15 years in manufacturing and information technology.  He has been a foreman, materials supervisor, sales manager and national marketing manager.  This broad base of expertise enables Chuck to talk about what works instead of presenting untested theory.

He has a Masters of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Companies Chuck has recently worked with using the de Bono methods include: Astrazeneca; Bayer Animal Health; Cabinet Office (U.K.); Companies House (U.K.); GMAC Insurance; Hallmark Cards; Interstate Brands Corporation; Kraft Foods; National Audit Office (U.K.); Nestle Purina PetCare; Norse Dairy Systems.
