Critical Thinking

This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.

Session Summary

The World Economic Forum lists critical thinking as a top skill needed for professional success in today’s economy. Maybe that’s because this core thinking skill supports problem-solving, breaks down echo chambers, and helps sort fact from fiction.

Our take on critical thinking is that the teams we work with already know how to think, but busyness and pressure mean that they’re not always thinking their best.

In this Critical Thinking session we practice positive and pragmatic ways to slow down and think carefully so that participants are better able to think their best, spot opportunities and stay sharp.

Questions about Critical Thinking

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

The World Economic Forum lists critical thinking as a top skill needed for professional success in today’s economy. Maybe that’s because this core thinking skill supports problem-solving, breaks down echo chambers, and helps sort fact from fiction. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

Is this a workshop or a talk?

A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.

Is Brennan the right expert for this?

Brennan Jacoby is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.1 out of 5, across 207 responses, and rate Brennan personally 4.4 out of 5.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Brennan, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
