(BEYA Seminar 2800) Job Readiness Certification - Innovative and Critical Thinking: Training Your Brain to Solve Problems and Create Solutions
Our ability to learn new ways to think is the power of human potential. We have to make choices about the types of thinking that we apply to a variety of different challenges.
Critical Thinking is the act of examining a set of facts and analyzing and evaluating relevant information.
