PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Ranked among one of the most impor-tant skills required to enable positive growth and sustained business success in any industry today – it is imperative for companies to promote training in Critical Thinking.Many executives are inclined to believe that these skills are only applied when there is a problem but that is not the case! Critical Thinking is a way of think-ing that not only solves problems effec-tively… but through its very process and nature, reduces the risk of mistakes being made and of problems possibly occurring in the first place! It prevents misunderstandings from happening.

“This Critical Thinking training program helps participants to identify support structures, perspectives and arguments and it assists them in knowing how to critically evaluate the advantages and the disadvantages of a proposed plan or action, making sure that the right decisions are made – the first time.

The positive effects and benefits of Critical Thinking are improved persuasive skills, communication capability and problem solving skills. And the greater benefit lies in increased Emotional Intelligence amongst those who become adept at this skill.

Critical Thinking is not hard to do – you just have to know HOW to do it and it takes effort because it requires more appli-cation and focus. It is commonly referred to as “slow thinking”, because it is not an automatic response – but a more “rea-soned” one.

Christina is very much a people-person and thrives on assisting women, men and youth, to pursue their dreams and to ultimately reach their goals. Her belief that each and every indi-vidual can achieve a full and meaningful life given the opportunity to learn, to be coached and positively encouraged is her driving force and her motivation.

Her career spans over 40 years living in Australia, Thailand, Vietnam and the South East Asian region working in the fields of government, advertising & marketing, international executive search, and multi-level marketing (United States and SE Asia).

In the last 20 years Christina has focused in the areas of Personal and Professional Growth and Development, Corporate Training and Coaching, and Human Resources Consulting.In the USA Christina worked with leading motivational speakers and trainers to facilitate motivational, business and product seminars working with individuals, budding entrepre-neurs and new and existing business owners. This experience enriched her mind-set and repertoire of skills in the field of human achievement and potential and as a result, set the stage for an adventurous and fulfilling career based around the “power of the individual”.

In recent years her interests have become intimately targeted towards leadership and emo-tional intelligence, and the empowerment of women, men and youth. As a self-professed advocate for change Christina is actively working through her newly founded initiative EM-POWER EVERY PERSON to enlighten, encourage, and empower others so that they may become successful entrepreneurs and valued contributors to business sectors and society, and that they may attain a more meaningful and sustainable life for themselves and their families in a world of unpredictable times and escalating challenges.
