Flex analytical thinking to make better decisions

- Hey, Christina Stathopoulos here. Did you know that analytical thinking is one of the most in-demand skills in the workforce today? Demand is growing because we need analytical thinking to make decisions in an ever more complex world. I'm thrilled you join me for this course because I'm going to make sure you leave here with actionable tips on how to flex your analytical thinking to make better decisions. I've spent over a decade working in leading data roles for big tech and Fortune 500 companies. I know just how powerful it can be to approach problems within analytical mindset. But what does that mean exactly? What is an analytical mindset? The word analysis comes from an ancient Greek word, meaning to break up or untie. The concept has evolved into a field of its own today, but always connected back to its Greek roots. Having an analytical mindset means you have the ability to break down problems into smaller pieces, and then use data and facts to identify patterns and develop effective solutions. It allows you to look beyond the surface, finding logical solutions to complicated issues. Mastering this skill can contribute to both your personal and professional growth. And don't worry if the thought of using data intimidates you. It's a common misconception that you need to be a numbers person to unlock the power of analytical thinking. But just as you can learn to ride a bicycle, drive a car, or speak a new language, analytical thinking can be taught, learned, and improved through practice. You're in the right place. So let's get started.
