Fostering Critical Thinking and Self-Reflection (Live Webinar)

DELIVERY FORMAT
Online Virtual
SEMINAR TYPE
PD Seminar
NEW SEMINAR

Overview

Successful leaders and managers have one thing in common – they learn by doing and by applying their experience to day-to-day activities. At the core of their learning style is a continuous examination of the taken-for-granted assumptions that form their approach to decision-making and relationships. This half day course introduces the basic approaches to critical thinking and self-reflection in our work and personal lives, and how to use these to enhance our effectiveness.


This live virtual seminar is offered in collaboration with CPA Western Provinces. The content is applicable to all participants.

 

Applicable for

Leaders and managers who want to develop their critical thinking skills to enhance their personal effectiveness.

  • Identify and explore the core skills of critical thinking and self-reflection 
  • examine and explore the “Window on Yourself” - values, beliefs, perceptions that drive our thinking
  • diagnose and explore the implications of your thinking style and their role in critical thinking and self-reflection 
  • introduce three critical thinking tools and techniques that support reflection-in-action
  • develop an action plan, including the use of interpersonal and self-assessment tools to reintegrate new perspectives
