The Thinking Advantage™ — For Winery Leaders & Teams
When People Think Better, They Lead Better
Helping winery leaders and teams think clearly, make better decisions, and move forward together.
The Foundation of Effective Leadership
Transforming Leadership Through Thought
Today’s winery leaders are making higher-stakes decisions in a more uncertain environment than ever before. Pressure, constant interruption, and rapid change can make clear thinking difficult. The Thinking Advantage creates the conditions where leaders and teams think independently, challenge assumptions, make better decisions, and build lasting commitment to action.
Three Ways To Work Together

Leadership Clarity Sessions
FOR OWNERS & SENIOR LEADERS
Think clearly about what matters most. Bring one leadership challenge and leave knowing what you think and what to do next.

Team Thinking Sessions
FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS & DEPARTMENTS
Unlock your team’s best thinking. Solve important challenges together and create greater clarity, alignment, ownership, and commitment.

Thinking Advantage Meetings
FOR TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS
Change the way your team thinks together. Develop meetings where people contribute fully, make better decisions together, and leave committed to action.
Why It Works
People do their best thinking when they know:
- they will not be interrupted
- their ideas will be respected
- every voice matters
- assumptions can be questioned safely
- the goal is the best solution — not winning an argument
The Result:
- Better decisions
- Stronger leadership teams
- Greater alignment
- More productive meetings
- Higher engagement and ownership
- A culture where people think at their best
Meet Jennifer
Jennifer Bell is a Certified Time to Think® Facilitator & Coach and founder of Waves Thinking Consultancy.
After years of watching brilliant leaders get stuck — not for lack of ideas, but for lack of space to think clearly — she built her practice around a simple belief: better thinking leads to better leadership.
Today, Jennifer works with winery owners and leadership teams across Sonoma County, helping them slow down, ask better questions, and make decisions they can stand behind.
The Thinking Place at Noon
Confidential. Respectful. No advice. No interruption. Just time to think.
The Thinking Place at Lunch is a 45-minute online gathering where you are paired with another thoughtful person.
Each person receives ten minutes of uninterrupted attention to think aloud about whatever matters most — a leadership challenge, a decision, an opportunity, an experience, or simply something you’ve been wanting time to think about.
You won’t receive advice or be interrupted. You’ll discover what becomes possible when someone trusts that you can think for yourself.
Use this time to:
- clarify a decision
- untangle assumptions
- prepare for an important conversation
- reflect on an experience
- make sense of change
- reconnect with what they already know
- or simply enjoy the rare experience of uninterrupted thinking
