These sessions are your opportunity to bring any questions or challenges you’re facing and receive expert guidance on the spot.
Come and be a part of engaging discussions where your unique concerns are heard and addressed.
If you are occasionally looking for a sparring partner or you need limited support, then this option will be ideal for you. Coaching sessions are 1-2 hours where we can discuss any challenge or opportunity you are currently facing.
If you need a few more hours outside of this provision, then these could be billed transparently.
We believe support shouldn’t be limited. Because we typically find that the occasional hour just doesn’t cut it – particularly if you and your team are in the midst of a large and complex project.
Your time with Stefan is therefore unlimited (fair usage applies) – in his function as coach and sparring partner.

Critical thinking, as described by Oxford Languages, is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement.
Active and skillful approach, evaluation, assessment, synthesis, and/or evaluation of information obtained from, or made by, observation, knowledge, reflection, acumen or conversation, as a guide to belief and action, requires the critical thinking process, which is why it's often used in education and academics.
Some even may view it as a backbone of modern thought.
However, it's a skill, and skills must be trained and encouraged to be used at its full potential.
People turn up to various approaches in improving their critical thinking, like:
Critical thinking can help in planning your paper and making it more concise, but it's not obvious at first. We carefully pinpointed some the questions you should ask yourself when boosting critical thinking in writing:
Usage of critical thinking comes down not only to the outline of your paper, it also begs the question: How can we use critical thinking solving problems in our writing's topic?
Let's say, you have a Powerpoint on how critical thinking can reduce poverty in the United States. You'll primarily have to define critical thinking for the viewers, as well as use a lot of critical thinking questions and synonyms to get them to be familiar with your methods and start the thinking process behind it.
We understand that it's difficult to learn how to use critical thinking more effectively in just one article, but our service is here to help.

Don’t let indecision be your decision.
Founder and CEO of Fintrepid Solutions , an award-winning firm delivering customized solutions to support business growth and sustainability.
Any entrepreneur can spend 10 minutes scanning economic headlines and find conflicting, often polar opposite information on economic indicators and where the economy is headed. It is indeed a puzzling time for the business owner. And while election years typically bring some uncertainty, this time around, all bets are off. A recent Goldman Sachs survey showed that "small business owners are more undecided about the election than the general public."
While still generally optimistic , we are seeing countless business owners slowly continuing down their current path, or not moving at all. On the surface, it makes sense to a degree. The pull of fast growth or a potential business sale feels still too distant to pursue, and on the flip side, operating results are not bad enough to create any back pressure. But this middle ground can be problematic.
I have often described the journey of a small business as climbing a mountain. Sticking with that example, many business owners are sitting in a small camp halfway up Mount Everest. The question is, is a fierce storm ahead? Will the weather clear or just stay consistent? Regardless of the answer, what is critical is active decision-making and a logical, unemotional process to inform those decisions.
If the markets improve, you could quickly find yourself left behind, missing out on critical opportunities. If the markets worsen, you could find yourself in a weakened and precarious position while trying to ride out the storm. Are you ready for either scenario? What would that look like?
Northern lights forecast: here’s where you could see the aurora borealis tonight, are those dragon eggs in ‘house of the dragon’ the ones daenerys has in ‘game of thrones’, assess the current state..
How would you assess your margin for error at present? How would you evaluate your short-term and long-term resources? Have you done a thorough evaluation of your operating margins, your cash on hand, your working capital and your long-term capital position? Are there steps you can take today to start strengthening your position in one or more of these areas?
Critical to this is an understanding of what risks you are self-insuring. Every risk in a business that is not third-party insured, like commercial property or workers' compensation, is self-insured. Is labor a significant piece of your P&L where wage increases could dramatically impact profitability? You are self-insuring that risk. What about the costs of materials like lumber or steel? What about a continued rise in interest rates? Businesses are self-insuring these risks and many others. Do you know what the cost of that self-insurance is?
How is your customer doing? The average individual consumer appears to be losing resiliency . Is your customer buying less? This may be a good time to revisit how you are managing inventories. Perhaps your customers are gearing up for growth themselves. This could be a great opportunity to take advantage of.
What is your competition doing? Are they slashing prices to dump inventory? Are they pulling back altogether? Or are they expanding? That doesn’t mean you should try to match their course. What is essential is understanding what opportunities their actions might create for your business.
You could use this time to take advantage of uncertainty or fatigue among smaller businesses in a vertical or horizontal space by acquiring them . We have worked with numerous companies executing smaller tuck-in acquisitions where they can acquire at a low price and add scale. This can create more stability should a storm arise or more strength to continue to buy and grow. If a buy is too much to take on, or not available, another option is to develop partnerships with complementary businesses. This could be deepening ties with a supplier or partnering with a supplier of complementary or supplementary goods. These partnerships can improve purchasing power, strengthen both companies and even create additional growth opportunities.
Even if there is discomfort or lack of confidence based on what you see around you, know where your North Star is—your long-term strategy. Too many businesses map out a strategy and then effectively put it in a drawer. When was the last time you looked at your three-year or five-year plan? Based on the current state, what steps could be taken on the course to that long-term strategy? A thorough, regular review of that strategy can be helpful to get above a present storm, view the whole surroundings and see what is ahead.
There may be big assumptions that need to be evaluated. Reconfirm your strategy to guide long-term navigation. Execute in the short term to align with that long-term strategy. That could mean investment. That could mean moving further down the mountain to later ascend faster and stronger. That could also mean an intentional pause, but not one by default.
Don’t just sit in slowly boiling water. Make active decisions. Even the active pause is part of a larger decision. Know why you are doing so. Map out scenarios for execution if your market takes off or if it faces headwinds. As I discussed in a previous article, we are big proponents of using “ What if? ” as a powerful tool to explore different paths, what they would mean for the business and what it would take to get there. This allows for confident decision-making, literally creating a map with multiple routes if needed. Be informed, be inquisitive, be open-minded and, most importantly, make decisions. Even if confidence in government or the overall economy is low, it doesn’t need to correlate to your confidence in your team, your business or yourself.

Ana Freire : [0:15] In my view, AI will replace everything. There are some human characteristics that need to be in place always, such as creativity, or the natural intelligence, the common sense, and many other features inherent from human behavior.
[0:32] We just need to find the way in how to basically combine artificial intelligence and the most wonderful characteristics of human beings in order to multiply the effects that both parts can generate together.
[0:51] Higher education institutions have the responsibility to not just teach the technological content, which is behind artificial intelligence, but also soft skills like communication or critical thinking in order to give the future leaders the opportunity to decide or to augment their own capabilities in order to multiply the effects of artificial intelligence when it's needed.
[1:17] Because maybe not in all environments and in all tasks artificial intelligence will be needed in our work.
Higher education institutions have the responsibility to not just teach the technological content, but also soft skills like communication or critical thinking.
David De Cremer : [1:26] Creativity is seen as something uniquely human. If you look at what creativity is about, it's really finding new solutions to problems that are relevant and meaningful to us.
[1:37] If you use that definition and we apply it to generative AI like ChatGPT, we see that there are a number of skills that our educators should train. First of all, ChatGPT provides solutions, it generates solutions, but who phrases the question? A human.
[1:54] It's about identifying a problem and then specifying in a question. It generates something, but who interprets what is generated? A human as well, because it needs to be seen as meaningful and relevant to a human. These are two important skills.
[2:10] Identifying the question relates to use generative AI in a way that you push our students to think critically. What are the big business questions? What are the big questions in life that business can help? Those are the problems that we define.
[2:24] That's related to what we call prompt engineering as well. If you know the right question, do you also know how to prompt ChatGPT to come up with an answer that's relevant?
Prompt engineering is a good skill to have, but it's not the job of the future.
[2:35] Prompt engineering is not the job of the future, I must say. Some people think it still is the case, but you have to remember ChatGPT is probabilistic. It's not deterministic, which means sometimes even with the same prompt, it may generate a different answer.
[2:52] Prompt engineering is a good skill to have, but it's not the job of the future. The job of the future in my view, is much more looking at what has been generated when you ask the right kind of question. That's based on your own purpose, what kind of value you want to create.
[3:06] That's why critical thinking about what is it that I'm doing, what is the value of my business, is important because you interpret from that framework. What's going to be the job of the future is really a content analyst.
[3:17] As humans, we participate in the real world. AI doesn't, so we assess the relevance and the meaning of it, and we can do so because we are active participants.
[3:28] Being a content analyst, knowing this is an outcome that ChatGPT generated, how can I transfer that into knowledge that I can use to come up with a solution for a problem? Those are skills that as educators, we really need to foster and ChatGPT is a very helpful tool to help in that process.
Don’t be shy about bringing your ideas to the table.
Developing your strategic thinking skills isn’t enough to get you promoted. In order to advance in your career, you need to demonstrate them. Leaders want to know what you think, and they view your worthiness for promotion through the lens of how ready you are to make bigger decisions. Ask yourself: “Do people know where I stand?” If not, what do you need to do to bring your perspective to the table? It’s also important to demonstrate that you can put new ideas into action. Take the initiative on new projects that show how your understanding extends beyond your current function.
We all know that developing strategic thinking skills is important , but many don’t realize how critical it is to your career advancement to show these skills to your boss and other senior leaders. Showing strategic thinking skills tells your bosses that you’re able to think for yourself and make decisions that position the organization for the future. It assures them that you aren’t making decisions in a vacuum but are considering how other departments might be affected or how the outside world will respond.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday stripped the Securities and Exchange Commission of a major tool in fighting securities fraud in a decision that also could have far-reaching effects on other regulatory agencies.
The justices ruled in a 6-3 vote that people accused of fraud by the SEC, which regulates securities markets, have the right to a jury trial in federal court. The in-house proceedings the SEC has used in some civil fraud complaints, including against Houston hedge fund manager George Jarkesy, violate the Constitution, the court said.
“A defendant facing a fraud suit has the right to be tried by a jury of his peers before a neutral adjudicator,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court’s conservative majority.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who read from her dissent in the courtroom, said that “litigants who seek to dismantle the administrative state” would rejoice in the decision.
Federal agencies that oversee safety in mines and other workplaces are among many that can only impose civil penalties in in-house, administrative proceedings, Sotomayor wrote, joined by Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan.
“For those and countless other agencies, all the majority can say is tough luck; get a new statute from Congress,” she wrote.
The case is among several this term in which conservative and business interests are urging the nine-member court to constrict federal regulators. The court’s six conservatives already have done so, including in a decision last year that sharply limited environmental regulators’ ability to police water pollution in wetlands.
Still awaiting decision are cases calling on the court to overturn the 40-year-old ruling colloquially known as Chevron, which has made it easier to sustain regulation of the environment, public, health, worker safety and consumer protection. Some of the same parties that supported Jarkesy at the Supreme Court are calling for Chevron to be overturned.
The SEC was awarded more than $5 billion in civil penalties in the 2023 government spending year that ended Sept. 30, the agency said in a news release. It was unclear how much of that money came through in-house proceedings or lawsuits in federal court.
The agency had already reduced the number of cases it brings in administrative proceedings pending the Supreme Court’s resolution of the case.
The high court rejected arguments advanced by President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration that relied on a 50-year-old decision in which the court ruled that in-house proceedings did not violate the Constitution’s right to a jury trial in civil lawsuits.
The justices ruled in favor of Jarkesy after the SEC appealed a decision in which the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out stiff financial penalties against Jarkesy and his Patriot28 investment adviser.
The appeals court found that the SEC’s case against Jarkesy, resulting in a $300,000 civil fine and the repayment of $680,000 in allegedly ill-gotten gains, should have been heard in a federal court instead of before one of the SEC’s administrative law judges.
Jarkesy’s lawyers noted that the SEC wins almost all the cases it brings in front of the administrative law judges but only about 60% of cases tried in federal court.
The appeals court also said Congress unconstitutionally granted the SEC “unfettered authority” to decide whether the case should be tried in a court of law or handled within the executive branch agency. And it said laws shielding the commission’s administrative law judges from being fired by the president are unconstitutional.
Those issues got virtually no attention during arguments in November , and the court chose to resolve the case only on the right to a jury trial.
