Th-ink: Writing for critical thinking
Perhaps the most important soft skill your teams need in today’s volatile environment is the ability to think critically. Here’s how you can support them to develop even deeper analytical skills…
If you can’t write, you can’t think
Writing is about so much more than external communication. Fundamentally, it’s a way of evaluating and organising your own thoughts before you share them more widely. Which is probably why Einstein said: “If you can’t explain it simply, it’s because you don’t understand it well enough.”
This workshop is about surfacing, testing and refining thinking so well that you can communicate it simply. It’s a game-changer that helps your teams to:
- Evaluate their thinking
- Identify issues and opportunities from multiple perspectives
- See gaps in understanding
- Understand their ideas well enough to defend them – and incorporate new thinking
What’s covered?
Your teams need to be able to think if they’re going to innovate and collaborate. They need to be able to make new connections themselves – and be open to different perspectives.
This day-long workshop uses an age-old human skill to gain a very time-relevant advantage. Your teams learn to use the act of writing to hone their critical thinking and idea generation skills.

“The techniques incorporated into this workshop enabled my team and I to clearly articulate a concept we had been circling around for months. It’s amazing how quickly – with the support of the Wordtree trainers – our thinking coalesced.”
