In this encore episode, I revisit one of the most essential skills for leaders, decision-makers, and lifelong learners: critical thinking.
We explore why thinking critically is harder than it sounds and how emotional reactions, cognitive biases, and everyday pressures often get in the way. You'll hear practical insights on how to navigate those roadblocks and sharpen your thinking in any situation.

How accurate or biased is the data?
Whatâs the context right now, and what could this mean moving forward?
How might this impact the bigger picture?
