If you are one of the many who want to improve your own and your team’s critical thinking skills, this program is for you. Learn the range of cognitive styles via the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Framework and their impact on generating ideas, implementing solutions, and whether a person embraces or changes the structure in place.

You’ll also learn how to improve critical thinking skills, and thus how you and the team solves problems, by challenging your own and colleagues’ assumptions for greater efficacy, alignment, and creativity. The bonus? You’ll learn how coaching can move your team from seeming trapped in mediocrity to producing outstanding results.
