Most people never examine how they think. They inherit opinions from family, absorb assumptions from the internet, and react to the world without ever asking whether their reasoning holds up. This program is the entry point to everything else on Prominence Africa. Over four weeks, you learn how to think clearly about hard things, separate what you believe from what you can defend, and build the mental habits that prominent people share. By the end, you will not just know more, you will think differently.

What you will be able to do

  1. 01See how much of what you believe was handed to you and never checked.
  2. 02Separate facts, inferences and opinions in what you read and hear.
  3. 03Test your plans with a pre-mortem and argue the other side fairly.
  4. 04Spot confirmation bias, sunk costs and tribal thinking in yourself.
  5. 05Hold strong opinions loosely and disagree without falling out.
  6. 06Build a weekly review that keeps your thinking sharp for life.
