This webinar is arranged and hosted by NxtGen Bristol and the Bournemouth Young Professionals groups, working together to bring members relevant and engaging learning and support.
Presentation Overview
Critical thinking is an essential skill that helps us to avoid inference or assumption. Both are dangerous when advising clients or making decisions. It is essential that decisions are made, and advice is given, based on evidence, observation and logic.
This session will show you how to develop your critical thinking skills with the result that you will be able to make better decisions and gain confidence in sticking by the decisions you have made. Some interesting examples will be given regarding remote working too.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the importance of critical thinking and its impact on the decision making process.
