Introduction



Welcome to the Online Logical Thinking Process Course. We intend for this course to coincide as closely as possible with the in-person, face-to-face Logical Thinking Process (LTP) workshop that has been delivering to clients around the world for the past 20+ years. But there will be a few significant differences between the online and in-person versions.

  • First, no travel is necessary for individuals who choose to take the course.

  • Second, the online training is one-on-one. No minimum number of participants is required to conduct a course.

  • Third, unlike the in-person course, the course is self-paced. Instead of having to devote six intensive days to learning the LTP, participants can complete the course at a more leisurely pace, which they can determine.

But there are significant similarities between the online and in-person versions, as well.

  • First, advance reading of the required text book is required fo maximum benefit from the course.

  • Second, on-line participants will watch the same PowerPoint presentations that the in-person participants do. But instead of watching on a screen in a conference or training room, they'll watch on their own computers, with the flexibility to pause the presentations for breaks, if needed.

  • (Optional) Third, on-line participants will be able to ask questions of the coaches, personally, in individually scheduled interactive video conferences (Zoom).

  • And fourth, on-line participants will construct their own logic trees (off-line) after they read the appropriate chapters in the text book and view the on-line presentations. (Optional) After these logic trees are complete, participants will be able to receive real-time review and scrutiny of their work with our coaches via individually scheduled interactive video conferences (Zoom).
