Stop workplace problems in their tracks.
Have you ever been so frustrated at work because problems keep popping up and there just doesn’t seem to be an end in sight?
We’ve all been there, and we want to help.
Critical thinking and problem-solving refer to the ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to effectively solve problems.
Regardless of your job, industry, or seniority level critical thinking and problem-solving are crucial to your success at work.
Although dealing with problems is nothing new, the way you deal with problems can often be refined, strengthened, and finessed.
This course will teach you specific skills and actionable tactics and strategies to make you an excellent problem-solver.
So, where do your critical problem-solving skills stand at this moment? As the workplace progresses, soft skills are becoming equally—if not more important—than hard skills.
Learn our tested 5-step problem-solving process and become equipped with our CC-approved diagrams that will actually help you solve problems and keep them away in the long-term.
+ Implementing a temporary solution only to see the same problem come back in full force
+ Spending days, weeks, or months trying to get one solution to work
+ Feeling stuck and hopeless with frustrating issues at work
+ Not knowing how to measure whether your solutions actually work
+ Letting emotion overpower facts, leading to arguments
Do any of these sound familiar? If so, watch the video below.
Whether you’re working or not, you are using critical thinking and problem-solving skills every day. Many of us take critical problem-solving skills for granted. Most of the time, we aren’t even aware of how impactful improving these skills will be on our lives.
Even though critical thinking and problem-solving are “soft” skills, they can be strengthened and improved in a measurable way, just like any other “hard” skill, like your coding abilities or fluency in another language.
Why tackle problems without having the strategy or skill in your toolkit?
