Critical Thinking
“Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners.”
Critical thinking skills are required to objectively analyze and evaluate information. With these skills, you can sort the best information from the available data to develop an accurate and comprehensive knowledge context. Critical thinking maximizes your ability to make the correct decision and minimizes the damage of mistakes.
My critical thinking seminars help participants to become more rational and disciplined thinkers. They demonstrate how to reduce bias to form a fuller, more accurate understanding of the environment. My seminars provide participants the skills to evaluate available data, identify the essentials, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information, a process that boosts performance across all areas of productivity.
Like all my learning workshops, critical thinking seminars are hands-on, experiential, and participatory. Theory and practice are blended as participants apply what they learn to real-life situations and take away useful and practical tools.
Participants in critical thinking seminars:
review single- and double-loop learning
practice uncovering assumptions and premises
practice problem restatement
explore divergent thinking
distinguish espoused theories from theories-in-action
