For our Life Skills Academy
Manage your work:
An e-course to help you to look at your work habits. Do you manage to get your work done during work hours? Or are you working evenings and weekends? This course will help you to look at your habits and values and will help you to make changes to work more effectively and get the job done. After all, there is more in life than work.
Think critically:
Critical thinkers have a wide range of interests. They ask questions and want to know why, what, who, where, when, and everything else that can help them make sense of life and work. With this e-course, you can improve the quality of both your decisions and your thinking.
