1. Creative Problem Solving: Inspire Your Creativity To Achieve Goals
Children have an innate creative ability when they are born, but for some reason adults can lose it along the way. You will move out of the mundane, be more curious, engage, and explore new ideas. Recognize creativity and be ready when it happens.
With our Developing Creativity course, you will learn how to remove barriers that block or limit your creativity. You will improve your imagination, divergent thinking, and mental flexibility. You will learn mind mapping, individual brainstorming, and when to recognize and look for what inspires you to be more creative.
Creativity and innovation will improve your chances of success in business and in life. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to inspire you and develop your creative mindset. By changing the way that you think and overcoming your fear of risk, you will improve your creativity and change your life. Implementing the guidelines in this module is the first step to forever changing your creative process.
2. Developing Creativity: Solve Problems Quickly and Easily
In the past few decades, psychologists and business people alike have discovered that successful problem solvers tend to use the same type of process to identify and implement the solutions to their problems. This process works for any kind of problem, large or small.
This course will give you an overview of the entire creative problem solving process, as well as key problem solving tools that you can use every day.
3. Critical Thinking: Analyze and Evaluate Information to Boost Your Performance
Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information. With these skills you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from a piece of data. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes damages if a mistake does occur.
Our Critical Thinking course will lead you to be a more rational and disciplined thinker. It will reduce bias which will provide a greater understanding of the environment. This course will provide you with the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information which will provide an incredible boost in performance.
4. Personal Productivity: Banish Procrastination From Your Life Once And For All
Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little, because they're not concentrating their effort on the things that matter the most. This course will help you learn new ways to organize your time for a more productive life. It will also show you some techniques for rebalancing your energy levels. It's time to exhale stale, old ideas. And, inhale new inspiration for joyful living that produces quality outcomes.
5. Organizational Skills: Achieve Your Goals By Being Organized and Productive

Organization skills can increase a person’s general productivity, project management, and can even affect his or her memory and retention skills.
