LS 210: Thinking Critically: Increasing the Ability to See Multiple Perspectives

The Challenge

“Learning is about seeing things from a different perspective. My role is to help people improve their vision.”—Bob Selden

We don’t use the term “crucial thinking” as a buzz word. Good leaders know how to translate their crucial thinking into action:

They look at the same object from multiple angles.

They listen. They analyze. They ask questions.

They have empathy when they interact with others.

These skills require intentional, concentrated application of skills. For most of us, they don’t come naturally. This workshop can help with that.

The Workshop

In this four-hour workshop, we’ll explore skills for all leaders and employees to develop practical critical thinking skills. Our discussion will investigate the following concepts:

• The nature of being a productive (rather than destructive) self-critic.
• The skill of active listening.
• The tools for conceptualizing, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information in the workplace.
• The strategies for applying critical thinking skills to actual work examples.
