This one-day interactive learning session is designed to help participants find an emotional balance to assess problems objectively and systemically, using a critical thinking model and make decisions for peak performance. He will speak on today’s fast paced world with information overload requires us to think critically and make quick decisions. This can create stress and take away our power to act rationally. How do we find our power by balancing our minds and bodies to align with meeting organisational goals and requirements? Critical thinking is to ‘think about thinking’ by understanding the logical connections between ideas to help solve problems systematically. Critical thinking requires us also to be mindful of our emotions, biases and prejudices. Being mindful of emotions enables getting them out of the way, to deal with the problem rationally and logically.
