DECISION-MAKING

Course Description:  

This course will teach participants to use critical thinking and decision-making to develop the ability to make good decisions, to improve their overall skills and consider consequences of both positive and negative factors that will lead to better decisions and outcomes. Participants will discover the steps necessary to achieve goals, as well as learn about the power that ordinary, everyday decisions can have over the quality of life.

Using an engaging simulation, this course teaches a logical decision-making process that addresses the critical elements that result in high-quality decisions.
