"Educator's Workshop" lectures were held at the RUSSIA EXPO

The training course is organized by the State University of Education and the Russian Society "Knowledge" — the general partner of the educational program of the Exposition. Students of pedagogical universities were told about the peculiarities of decision-making and effective ways of dialog.
The first lecture was devoted to decision-making. A person makes them about 70 times a day, said Maria Gladysheva, Deputy Head of Human Resources Development and Performance Culture Potential of the Federal Tax Service, Project Manager of the Digital Transformation Leadership Training Center of the GSPM RANEPA, finalist of the "Leaders of Russia — 2019" contest. They can be of varying degrees of importance — from choosing clothes in the morning to buying a car. According to her, there are four types of decisions — emotional, rational, volitional and intuitive.
"In making decisions, we are hindered by fear of making a mistake, insecurity and searching for the perfect answer. To overcome these challenges, we need to set clear goals, analyze all risks and rely on reason or emotion depending on the circumstances. Decision making is a complex process regardless of your age, job title or location. Learning to make decisions quickly is a very important factor. It will really help you to be more effective and useful in the future," emphasized Maria Gladysheva.

For an effective discussion it is important to bring strong arguments and to be able to reflect the arguments of the vis-a-vis.
