“It’s not what you know, it’s how you think”
 
Designed especially for auditors, this class is a practical call to action that provides auditors with
the tools and inspiration they need to be better thinkers. You’ll learn habits and strategies you
can use every day to dramatically improve judgment and decision-making. You’ll learn how to
break down mental barriers and alleviate mental fatigue. You’ll achieve new levels of mental
clarity, flexibility, and resilience. You will also benefit from better overall mental well-being and
be more resistant to stress and burnout. Attendees leave as more powerful and confident
thinkers and better communicators and problem-solvers.
Major subjects:
 Dimensional thinking
 Situational awareness
 Understanding skepticism and other important constructs on a different level
 Handling high-stakes situations and difficult conversations
 Strategies to become a more resilient and flexible thinker
 Controlling and optimizing your mental resources
 Decluttering your mind for higher clarity and greater mental bandwidth
Learning objectives:
 Apply “Signal to Noise Ratio” to skeptical reasoning
 Apply the concept of “orientation” to see connections between ideas
 Apply “offloading” to achieve mental clarity
 Identify the “surface structure” and “deep structure” of problems
Level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: 2 years of business experience or equivalent higher education
Advanced preparation: Not required
Recommended CO“It’s not what you know, it’s how you think”
