Critical thinking



“Critical thinking in the workplace can help individuals and teams solve problems, make decisions, and collaborate effectively. It can also help organizations use resources wisely, reduce errors, and adapt to changing conditions.


Here are some ways critical thinking can be applied in the workplace:


Problem-solving


Critical thinking can help identify problems, evaluate data, and develop solutions. For example, you can research an issue, organize your findings, and then create inferences about how to solve the problem.




Decision-making


Critical thinking can help people make better decisions by considering multiple perspectives, questioning assumptions, and remaining open-minded.




Collaboration


Critical thinking can help people collaborate by considering different viewpoints and building trust with stakeholders.




Innovation


Critical thinking can encourage employees to think outside the box and foster creativity.


Self-evaluation




Critical thinking can help people analyze their performance and contributions to an organization. For example, you can review your performance reviews and other information to assess your work fairly.”

Passionate about the power of critical thinking in the workplace, I have spent over two decades honing my skills in problem-solving, decision-making, collaboration, innovation, and self-evaluation.


My mission is to help individuals and organizations harness the potential of critical thinking to drive success, efficiency, and adaptability in today's fast-paced business environment.

With a background in providing educational consulting services for a range of schools and organizations, I have demonstrated my ability to apply critical thinking in real-world scenarios.


When I provided educational consulting services from 1995 - 2018 for numerous schools and organizations. Among them include Edlavitch Jewish Community Center of Washington, DC (2018), DC International School (subbed for Ms. Mireya Goni Camejo (Spanish Art Teacher) – 2016 - 2017), Higher Achievement (2003 - 2004;2013) Washington, DC - Metro, Mundo Verde Public Charter Schools (2013 - 2014), Young Playwrights' Theatre (YPT) (2012 - 2013), Roda Movements (2015),M.O.M.I.E.S TLC (2015), YWDEP (2015), Kingdom Kids Care (2013), Joy of Motion Dance Center (2013 - 2015), Dance Institute of Washington (DIW) (2010 - 2012), and many others, I needed to utilize critical thinking skills.


Since I began providing digital marketing services more than a decade ago, I have to utilize critical thinking skills.

Golden Orb of Inspiration

  Golden Orb of Inspiration. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney  Last night, as I gazed up at the sky, the moon captured my attention with its luminous glow. It was a sight that stirred my imagination and inspired me to create. I decided to channel that inspiration into my digital abstract painting, where I chose to incorporate various shades of yellow. The warmth of the color seemed to echo the moon's gentle radiance, allowing me to express the beauty I felt in that moment.

Blogs for marketing and strategy purposes

    " A blogger is  someone who runs and controls a blog . He or she shares his or her opinion and knowledge on different topics for a target audience. Many bloggers feel strongly about an issue or topic, and they are motivated to write about it to bring attention to a need. This might be a social issue or cause, a problem that needs to be fixed, a belief or value that they hold strongly, or just a desire to help people. Blogging  enables you to reach the billions of people that use the Internet . Blogging can help you promote yourself or your business. Blogging works as a method for attracting an audience because it provides something of value to them before asking for anything in return.

Narrative Layers

    Narrative Layers. Digital art created on canvas. October 2, 2024. Afrika Abney  I created Narrative Layers, a digital abstract painting, using layered brushstrokes and vibrant colors with the focal color - red. Red represents determination, courage, resilience, and creativity.  According to my research, “layered brushstrokes serve as a powerful representation of the different phases of artistic expression and emotional depth. Each stroke adds a unique texture and dimension, reflecting my evolving thoughts and feelings throughout the creative process. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal of the piece but also invites viewers to engage with the underlying story that unfolds within the layers.  Ultimately, the culmination of these layered brushstrokes results in a finished piece that resonates with a profound narrative.”

  Resilience Reflections. Digital art created on canvas. September 27, 2024. Afrika Abney Looking back on the difficulties I faced in the past, one particular experience stands out vividly: the autumn of 2020 during the pandemic in Washington, D.C. This period was marked by a unique set of challenges that tested my resilience and adaptability. The atmosphere was heavy with uncertainty as the world grappled with the implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and the vibrant city I once knew was transformed into a quieter, more subdued environment. “The Autumn of 2020 in Washington, D.C., was marked by the unprecedented challenges posed by the global pandemic. As the leaves began to change color and the air turned crisp, the city, usually bustling with activity, found itself navigating a new reality. Public spaces that once thrived with tourists and locals alike were now quieter, with many events canceled or modified to adhere to health guidelines. The vibrant energy of the capital was tem...
