Critical Thinking
Overview
We live in the age of information and "experts" on everything. The sheer quantity of information, messages and wrestling priorities are overwhelming. With conflicting values and conflicting ideas, teams can end up pulling in opposite directions, individuals procrastinate, employees endlessly defer or delegate decisions, which wastes time and money. How can you feel confident in your own decisions? How can you get clarity on your conclusions? How can you look at things from a different perspective?
The answer lies in critical thinking skills. The ability to clearly reason through problems and to present arguments in a logical, compelling way has become a key skill for survival in today’s world. This full day workshop will give you some theory, practical tools and hands-on experience with identifying bias and errors in logic, constructing sound arguments, re-framing problems and techniques for fast and slow decision making.
