Critical Thinking Training
and Coaching
The demand for critical thinking is documented. Successive editions of the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report have placed critical thinking and analysis among the skills employers most require.
The Thinking Centre’s critical thinking courses are carefully designed, academically grounded and strongly focused on application. They are not courses in which participants merely read information, remember definitions and complete a test.
Participants are expected to examine ideas, analyse situations, question assumptions, evaluate possible explanations, and apply their learning to decisions and problems encountered in life and work.
Individualized attention is a defining feature of our courses. Many adult learners have told us that this is precisely what they find missing from conventional training. Coaching is also an important feature in the programmes.
We deeply respect our participants. No one will be left to struggle without appropriate guidance and support. Where needed and appropriate, optional clinics will be provided, and individual consultations may also be offered, as a part of the the course fee.
We also believe that serious learning can—and should—be highly enjoyable. Our courses therefore include engaging stories, practical exercises, stimulating discussions and opportunities to explore ideas in ways that are both intellectually challenging and personally meaningful.
Critical Thinking for Challenging Conversations
Coming January 2027
Most difficult conversations go wrong before they begin. This practice-intensive course helps you think clearly when it matters most: when you are challenged, pressured or unsure what the other person means. Six evening sessions online, in groups of no more than 18, led by Dr Angela Ramsay, PCC.

Critical Thinking for Leaders Under Pressure
Pressure is where good leaders make their worst decisions. Deadlines tighten, emotions run high, and a confident statistic or a persuasive colleague can carry the day before anyone has asked the right question. This course, in association with FIPA Global, gives leaders the tools to think clearly when it matters most. Participants learn the psychology behind biases and fallacies, how numbers persuade and mislead, how to ask questions that reveal the real problem, and how power and politics shape the environment leaders work in.
