As an executive leadership coach, one of the most important things I teach my clients is the power of body language. Our nonverbal cues can communicate just as much, if not more, than the words we say. In fact, studies have shown that up to 93% of communication is nonverbal. As a leader, it is crucial to be aware of and in control of your body language, as it can greatly impact how others perceive you and respond to your leadership.

The oldest and still the most powerful tactic for fostering critical thinking is the Socratic method, developed over 2,400 years ago by Socrates, one of the founders of Western philosophy. The Socratic method uses thought-provoking question-and-answer probing to promote learning. It focuses on generating more questions than answers, where the answers are not a stopping point but the beginning of further analysis.
