Cognitive fitness
Why do people attend university or go on courses? In part it’s to learn new information, new content. However it’s also to learn to think more effectively; to improve the quality of their thinking. As the quality of the results we achieve is largely a result of the quality of thinking that we do, improving the quality of our thinking as well as learning new information is a priority for many. If either of these things are true for you, this webinar will be a great investment of your time.
This on demand webinar is available in English only.
The duration of this webinar is 1 hour.
You will have access to this on-demand webinar for eight weeks from purchase.
