Reviews and Comments

Attending Ndala Booker's workshop on critical thinking at the LinkUnite Nashville conference was a highlight of my experience. From the moment she began speaking, it was evident that Ndala possesses a profound intelligence and eloquence that immediately engaged the audience. Her ability to break down complex ideas into accessible, actionable insights is truly remarkable. Ndala guided us through a series of interactive exercises designed to help us sift through various types of messaging to uncover the underlying truth. These exercises were not only intellectually stimulating but also highly practical, providing us with tools we can apply in both our personal and professional lives. By encouraging us to question assumptions and evaluate information critically, Ndala empowered us to become more discerning and effective communicators. Her approach was refreshingly interactive, fostering a collaborative learning environment where participants felt comfortable sharing their thoughts and insights. This collaborative atmosphere not only enriched the workshop experience but also reinforced the importance of diverse perspectives in critical thinking. Ndala's workshop is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enhance their critical thinking skills. Her insights are particularly relevant in today's information-saturated world, where the ability to distinguish fact from fiction is more important than ever. I left the session feeling inspired and equipped with a new set of tools to navigate the complexities of modern communication. Ndala Booker’s workshop is a must-attend for anyone seeking to improve their critical thinking abilities. Her intelligence, eloquence, and interactive teaching style make for an enlightening and empowering experience. I highly recommend learning from her at every opportunity.

For the past four years, Dr. Booker has presented a 2-hour lecture for our first year, Doctor of Physical Therapy students. Dr. Booker provides content on critical thinking, diversity, and group dynamics. Her lecture is engaging, and she uses active learning strategies that promote students’ understanding of how groups work and how they can be more successful working in a group. During the pandemic, Dr. Booker was able to adapt her content to an online format and preserve her engaging delivery. Her lecture is always well received by students. It doesn’t take a village to raise a DPT. It takes... dedicated individuals like Dr. Booker.

"This past August, Dr. Booker presented a seminar on Critical Thinking for the Leadership Circle of The Waldorf School of Garden City. While frequently mentioned, Critical Thinking can often be a concept that is unclear. Dr. Booker's presentation was insightful, astute, and stimulating. Her content was presented in a thoughtful way. In discussions afterward with members of the leadership group, there was a consensus that the presentation was necessary and timely. In my opinion, we are a better leadership group after having experienced this essential thought-provoking seminar."

"Ndala Live - on behalf of the Fluent, lnc team, I want to thank you for coming to our HQ and presenting as part of our Strategy Week programming. At Fluent, we critical thinking is key to professional development and continued innovation. Because of your session, our team was able to put those words into action and offered them a space to experience it through a shared exercise. It was incredible to see how many colleagues participated in this session and had nothing but feedback to share as a result. We take collaboration seriously as it is at the core of our success. Your session empowered individuals to reflect on how they can think differently more creative and reflect on any bias or preconceived notions before reaching a decision. Thank you!"

"Ndala Live- Thank you! I have to agree that it was amazing to see such an interest to elevate their critical thinking skills.

"Most of the time when I hear "critical thinking", I shut down. But once I knew who was speaking, I knew it would be good. Although I had noticed myself finding examples of critical thinking in my life, now I can focus even more on those skills by thinking about thinking. Thank you!"

University Student

"The framework itself to me looks a lot like a report where you need to define purpose and then have all the necessary support. I'm definitely going to incorporate more thinking about my thought process when leading group meetings. It can only help expand the minds of the team and hopefully make myself and them better in the process."
