Workshop: How to Engage Yourself and Others in Critical Thinking

We learn a lot of information in school; however, most of us did not learn critical thinking (or power thinking) skills. Critical thinking skills are the type of skills that set good leaders apart from visionary and strategic leaders/thinkers.

Power Thinking is a crucial skill for leaders to possess if they are to be successful. This session empowers leaders with the information they need to evaluate their current thinking proficiencies, determine areas for improvement, and enhance their thinking skills. By exploring areas of reasoning, self-knowledge, insight, and examining thinking strategies of leaders, participants will boost their abilities in the cognitive domains found to be crucial to being an outstanding leader.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Identify current proficiency in the three dimensions of thinking
• Identify and practice strategies that are most conducive to problem solving, decision making, and creative thinking
• Recognize the Drama Triangle and learn to use the Empowerment Triangle to enhance team resilience
