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.”

Quote found on the Internet

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.

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. Blogs are often used to promote a business or company, though some blogs have become business in and of themselves." I created this blog to inform viewers about various topics that is connected to my work and services that I offer and provide as a consultant. This is not a per...

Spectrum of Imagination

I would like to share insights regarding a selection of my artwork, which I developed using a painting application that was launched in November 1985. At that time, I was just nine years old and attending NationHouse, a private school with a focus on African-centered education. This early exposure to a creative environment played a significant role in shaping my artistic journey. It is important to note that my foray into the realm of digital art did not commence until several years after my initial experiences with traditional forms of creativity. The painting application, while groundbreaking for its time, was not the catalyst for my digital artistry; rather, it served as an early introduction to the possibilities of art in a digital format. My artistic development evolved gradually, influenced by various mediums and techniques over the years. Reflecting on my artistic evolution, I recognize that the foundation laid during my formative years at NationHouse has been instrumental in m...

Color of my skin

"I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black!” - Pierre-Auguste Renoir, French I mpressionist painter, 1841-1919 “I have learned to master the art of being different and to prove that it has nothing to do with the color of my skin. Color is irrelevant.” – Unknown

Ms. Eloise Greenfield

I met Ms. Eloise Greenfield when I was a student. " Children’s author Ms. Eloise Greenfield was born in Parmele, North Carolina, and raised in Washington, DC. She attended Miner Teachers’ College (now the University of the District of Columbia) and went on to work as a clerk in the US Patent Office. The monotony of the job drove her to experiment with making up rhymes, and eventually Greenfield began writing poetry in earnest. Her first published poem appeared in the Hartford Times in 1962. Since then, Greenfield has published more than 40 books for children, including works of poetry, biography, picture books, and chapter books. Her work is widely praised for its depiction of African American experience, particularly family life; Greenfield has said she began writing for children after looking in vain for books for her own children that reflected their life. ." She recently passed. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/eloise-greenfiel...

FATHERLESS DAUGHTER SYNDROME

"Since childhood, fathers have a critical impact on their daughters’ lives as they are both their first guides to the outside world and their first reflections of themselves, symbol of recognition of their own value. A healthy and uninterrupted relationship between a father and a daughter greatly helps to create a positive self-image and therefore will have a positive influence on her aspirations and relationships. When this relationship is suddenly broken for some reason, the daughter’s cycle of identity development is also interrupted. Adolescence and preadolescence are critical times where young women build themselves: their body change, they make a transition from girls to young women, and in this transition, the father’s role is important. " - Source: https://medium.com/@andreabomo/why-we-should-all-care-about-the-fatherless-daughter-syndrome-5fe527e22cc5 At the age of 5, I inherited some of the traits from father absence and abandonment.
