Enhancing Your Critical Thinking Skills
Enhancing Your Critical Thinking Skills
What you’ll learn
Skills you’ll gain
Most of our thoughts run on autopilot. However, when you build awareness around your brain's behavior, you’re able to turn on your best critical thinking skills. But how can you develop that awareness? And how can you use that clarity to make better decisions? In this course, you’ll gain key strategies and insights from Dr. Eugene Choi, who trains entrepreneurs to use a proven neuroscience-backed methodology to operate at their higher levels of performance, intelligence, and communication. You’ll start by understanding how the brain operates on neuroscience. Then you’ll learn to recognize various states that can help or hinder your best performance and decision-making, such as the fight-or-flight response, so-called brain freezing, and other states that impact your body and thinking. Of course, your critical thinking skills are only useful if you leverage them, which is why you’ll also discover proven tactics, such as recognizing cues in conversation that may cause your brain to reactively shut down. You’ll also learn how to easily identify when the people around you are in survival mode and prevent yourself from being similarly triggered. By the end of this course, you’ll have all the methods you need to recognize your critical thinking skills, overcome their inhibitors, and make more effective decisions.
