OWN Tactical Workshop with Kelly Mitchell

Join us for OneZone Women's Network's Tactical Workshop!
OWN (OneZone Women's Network) is a committee focused on empowering women to achieve personal and professional success.
We will be joined by Kelly Mitchell as she addresses the topic of "The How, What and Why of Critical Thinking."
We will be discussing what critical thinking is, (and isn't), how we can learn to understand how and why we think the way we do, and why improving our critical thinking skills is beneficial for our personal growth, and for those that we lead. We forget that our world perspective is just that- our perspective. When we can be in the present moment, with strong self-awareness, when we can truly hear the other and be open to understanding their perspective, we create space for connection and growth.
