Upgrading your
critical thinking skills
THESE SKILLS ARE:
critical thinking, 
creativity, 
communication, 
collaboration.
THE 4 C’S
Now, there is a reason why critical 
thinking comes first on this list. 
This is by far the most import-
ant skill for any modern-day 
specialist. And there are a number 
of reasons for this:
We live in the so-called era 
of “post-truth”. Verifying and 
filtering all the information 
that you receive is crucial. 
Our society is oversaturated 
with information, and we must 
learn to navigate the never-
ending flow.
The world around
us is constantly changing.
You need to adapt quickly 
to handle the onslaught.

information on the 
Internet, using several
 
differentsources to ver
ify 
authenticity.
Are these facts confirm
ed 
by practical examples? A
