For Organizations

Critical thinking is the most undervalued skill in most workplaces. By "critical thinking" we mean the ability to reason clearly about hard problems under real pressure, and to maintain that judgment when working alongside AI systems that produce confident-sounding answers at near-zero cost.

Most organizational training on this topic goes ankle-deep: fallacy lists, communication frameworks, catchy acronyms. None of it teaches people how to actually reason under uncertainty or decompose a problem they haven't seen before. We go deeper than that. We run talks and workshops that treat critical thinking as the serious professional competency it is.

What I offer

Three formats, one foundation

Lunch and Learn

60 to 90 minutes · from $1,475

A single-topic session designed to demonstrate what real critical thinking looks like, and give a team something concrete to take back to their work. High-impact, low-disruption. Works well as a standalone or as the opening to a longer engagement.

Workshop

Half-day or full day · from $3,880

Hands-on application of critical thinking frameworks to real organizational problems. Pre-mortems, decomposition exercises, working through paradoxes and decision traps with the team's own cases. Not a lecture. The goal is for people to leave with a different way of approaching their actual work.

Multi-Session Program

Structured cohort, bespoke length · bespoke pricing

A deeper engagement for leadership teams, decision-making groups, or teams integrating AI into their workflows. Structured around the organization's specific thinking challenges. Includes between-session work and ongoing practice.

What we cover

Signature talks and workshops

Each topic is built around a real intellectual problem, not a framework with a catchy acronym. All three can be delivered as a lunch-and-learn, a half-day workshop, or a multi-session program.

  • The Paradoxes of Modern Decision Making

    Many bad decisions are made by careful people who walk into one of a small number of well-documented paradoxes: situations where the reasonable thing to do leads somewhere unreasonable. This session focuses on six distinct paradoxes, maps those traps, shows how they operate in real organizational contexts, and builds a practical toolkit for recognizing and avoiding them before they do damage.

  • Elements of Modern Critical Thinking

    A structured introduction to the five cognitive foundations that underpin clear thinking: patterns, causality, uncertainty, models, and decisions. The session develops a working framework for understanding how exactly we can think critically, how exactly we fail at doing so most of the time, and what we can do to prevent that. Participants leave with a shared vocabulary and a common lens for tackling complexity.

  • Fundamentals of AI Literacy

    Artificial intelligence is less a technology, and more a set of methods for solving problems. This session builds a practical framework for understanding the concepts that underlie it, so that teams can reason about it effectively, evaluate its output, and use it as a tool without being misled by it.
