Through this program, these young adults will learn to recognize and look at important decisions from a number of perspectives. We initially assess each participant’s capability to solve problems and their decision-making process. We determine strength and weaknesses and create action plans to close capability gaps. We then take participants through a rigorous training session. The training will teach each individual to move outside their own habitual ways of making choices, and to understand the outcomes prior to their decisions, instead of simply dealing with the consequences. today’s youth will excel in making good decisions. They gain skills enabling them to:[/ultimate_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:30px!important;” margin_design_tab_text=””]Our program works because the training is chalked full of experiential exercises that are effective and above all, fun. Not only are the exercises effective in teaching new critical thinking skills, we also sustain desired behaviors long after we are gone through our intense follow up and behavioral analysis process. Through our program we assess capabilities, set expectations, invite commitment, measure results, provide feedback, and link actions to consequences.
Our Behavior-Based Analysis (BBA) is an integral part of our follow up process that effectively helps to build a proactive critical thinking culture where problem solving and decision-making are core values. It’s based on solid principles of engaging, motivating, assisting, reinforcing, and sustaining critical thinking behaviors. It is a systematic approach designed to build in a cadence of behavior and accountability by using the Six Thinking Hats® concepts.
