Excellent session - very informative with helpful examples. Understanding our own blind-spots and thinking pattern biases is important in making better informed decisions through dynamic thinking.
Excellent course! I highly recommend this course, the subject was very interesting and I really can see the benefits of applying it to my work and personal life; it really shows how looking at skepticism in a more positive way can lead seeing reality with a more unbiased approach. One needs to look at different angles while using judgement when interpreting the collected data to better analyse a situation. This was very refreshing because it shows that a person using this approach does not necessarily questions negatively everything but just wants a better picture ... like sort of showing how being the "devil's advocate" can be positive - it is also depends how one chooses to convey the message! Dr. Grooves is an exceptional presenter, the tone of voice caught my attention and I just wanted to keep listening, the rhythm of the presentation was perfect and the examples awesome! Thank you so much!
