COURSE OVERVIEW
Have you ever wondered that you may be "missing something" as you think through an issue or problem? This workshop will help you expand your critical thinking faculties, so you'll be better able to fully consider all sides of an issue and anticipate a broader range of possibilities.
You'll learn how to better assess and develop your thinking preferences…your optimal thinking time…and your ability to influence others. By applying critical thinking to the tasks and challenges you face in your work, you will begin to experience breakthroughs you never thought possible.
