By the end ofthis session, you'll understand what critical thinking is, why #employers valueit, and how to apply it to your daily work and life 💼.

What IsCritical Thinking? 🤔

Criticalthinking is the ability to #thinkclearly and logically about an issue,questioning assumptions instead of accepting information at face value📝. In simple terms, it's disciplined thinking that helps you makebetter choices, solve #realproblems, and avoid #costlymistakes 💸.

Why CriticalThinking Matters for Your #Career 💼

#Organizationswant people who can solve problems, not just follow instructions 📈.

Core#Components of Critical Thinking 🧠

Let's breakcritical thinking into its #HARSH components:

H - Having anOpen #Mindset

An openmindset is an approach to learning new things, especially those that challengeour preconceived notions. It means noticing facts and patterns and breakingcomplex ideas into smaller parts 🔍.

A - #AnalysingEvidence and #Reasoning 📊

Remove theCAP:

- Clarify the#problem existence

- Attain the#information of that particular incident

- Prove yourpoint right/wrong with the available information and the incident reported

R -Recognizing #Biases 🚨

This includesjumping to conclusions, relying on assumptions, and emotional reasoning. Beaware of Confirmation Bias – noticing only information that supports what youalready believe 👀.

S - Strivingfor #Understanding 🤝

Understand theproblem from the other side of the table 📚. Ask questions like:

- Are we clearon the Project Scope & Timelines?

- Do we havethe right set of skilled team?

- What's thebiggest challenge we might face?

H - Holisticapproach to #problemsolving

Use criticalthinking at work & life :

- Don't justaccept the first explanation; ask what the real problem is?

- Test yourdecisions: Is the goal clear? Are the facts accurate?

- Add value inmeetings by clarifying problems and asking for evidence.

Criticalthinking is a skill that grows with practice. Pause before reacting, reflect ondecisions, and you'll become calmer, clearer, and more confident.

Wish you allthe BEST! 🎉

Find out what's new around you and go deeper to learn it, will help you grow and make an impact.

Take the courage to put forward your point, doesn't matter if it's not validated by many. Feel happy that at least you're able to share your opinions. Next time, put more focus and deep dive before you share your point.

When you seek feedback, do pay undivided attention to the feedback giver and ask two question as below

1. Why ?

2. How ?

Listen to the podcast to know more about these questions and how these questions can help you improve yourself and transform your life.

Never be too harsh to yourself, tell yourself that you're too good and will be even doing better.

When you work on your strengths, you indirectly squeeze your weaknesses. It's simple as like how when you lighten the lamp, it increases the light in the room and darkness gets decreased at it's own.

The toughest task on this planet is to seek feedback .

This Sunday, once you're done with chilling around, sit down in a quiet place and spend an hour or so on your last week incidents. Make note of what went well and what could've been better.
