Description

The Fundamentals of Effective Thinking course, and this is the first course of the Decision-making and Problem-solving for Business series.

Albert Einstein, a man known for his wisdom, was correct when he said, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”

The first step on the journey to solving these problems has to be made in your head. That is, you must examine and modify the way you think about problems today if you want to achieve success in the future.

It’s hard to overestimate the power of effective thinking. Every thought you have today is in some way determining your future.

The goal of this course is to give you the tools necessary to turn yourself into a mental superhero. This change won’t happen quickly. But with time and effort, you’ll be able to solve problems you once found almost impossible. In this course, you’ll learn to:

think effectively about mental shortcuts,
overcome biases and flawed assumptions,
refine your problem-solving mind-set and decision-making style, and
cultivate the right state of mind.

That’s it! Now, go ahead and push that “Take this course” button and see you on the inside!

Who this course is for
