Critical Thinking Course

The fee for this six-hour online course is $400, which includes a 96 page Course Manual. 

Building on what is learned in our ADVANCED course and Culture Management, our Critical Thinking Course will show you how to surface and then revise the false assumptions behind your most cherished beliefs, using the proven method of assumptional analysis in the skills track—the second of eight tracks of quantum transformation. Because there has been so much dramatic change in the world during the past few decades, most of us are unconsciously making assumptions about key stakeholders that once might have been true, but are now clearly false. By using the steps of assumptional analysis, you’ll be able to uncover and then revise your false assumptions, so your decisions and actions will now be based on today’s updated reality, not yesterday’s outdated fantasy.
