Who This is For
This Discovery Call is designed to collaborate with a Company, Educational Division, or Organization in a Speaking Engagement with me on the Paul/Elder Critical Thinking Framework concepts, tools, and principles tailored to your place of event, timeline, and budget.
A Critical Thinking Framework developed by the late international authority on Critical Thinking, Dr. Richard Paul, and his wife, colleague, and Educational Psychologist Dr. Linda Elder, who resides as President of The Foundation for Critical Thinking to teach and advocate for it's indefeasable theoretical framework.
Critical Thinking entails "Thinking, about Your Thinking, while trying to Improve Your Thinking."

What You'll Come Away With
We will look at some provoking questions when approaching the concept of Critical Thinking and it's Framework so that you can recognize and combat superficial approaches.
- On a scale of 1-6, how would you rate yourself as a critical thinker?
- What method do you use in analyzing questions at Issue, or solve problems?
- To what standards do you assess the quality of your reasoning?
- Can you name 2 significant barriers that impede Critical Thought?
- What are the functions within the Human Mind?
- What are the character traits that we embody as we become ethical critical thinkers?
What to Expect
You can expect to develop a keen interest in how your mind moves cognitively from one idea to the another, in what causes these particular moves to occur rather than others, and in how to intervene in the process when flaws are uncovered in any of your thinking. Put another way, critical thinkers have an abiding interest in the problematic aspects of their own thinking , and they seek out these problem areas, target them, and change something about their thinking in order to reason more rationally, logically, and justifiably. Embracing critical thinking means learning to take command of the thoughts that control you, thereby experiencing a happier, more satisfied inner sense of self.
Fairminded Thinkers pursue their own needs, desires, and goals while also considering, to the same degree and in good faith, the rights and needs of others. Yet it is possible to learn to use one's skills of mind in a narrow, self-serving way - many highly skilled thinkers do just that. Those who wish to develop as ethical critical reasoners work to embody character traits that the Intellectual Virtues cultivate resulting in a happier quality of life.
How to Prepare
Making the most of our time together starts with preparation. Come to the session with a specific challenge or goal in mind that you'd like to work on. Be ready to think deeply and honestly about your situation.
I suggest having a good size notebook handy for capturing your insights and action items. This will help you retain and act on becoming a well-cultivated critical thinker.
