The Critical Thinking Academy is a flexible training experience that helps you think faster, speak more clearly, and communicate in a way that earns instant respect — with results showing up in as little as 12 weeks, without rambling, second-guessing, or losing control of the conversation.
This program is designed for high-performing professionals who want to organize their thoughts, speak with clarity, and confidently lead high-stakes conversations
Here's What You'll Learn:
- Why smart people lose arguments—and how one subtle shift in framing makes your points stick.
- How to uncover and dismantle hidden biases (even when they’re influencing you).
- A simple mental filter to organize your thoughts fast—before you open your mouth.
- The 3-question loop that instantly diffuses resistance in difficult conversations.
- Why most people sound unclear (and how to speak so your ideas land the first time).
- How to earn respect in any conversation—without ever raising your voice.
Here's What You Get Inside
Phase 1: Foundations of Critical Thinking
(Valued at $1,500)
Clear Thinking Starts Here!
Before you can persuade anyone, you must first sharpen your own mind.
In this foundational phase, you’ll build the mental muscles for clarity, logic, and structured thought.
You’ll master tools like:
• Deductive & inductive reasoning
• Logical fallacies
• Argument mapping
• Bayesian thinking
By the end of Phase 1, you won’t just “have opinions”—you’ll have defensible insights and bulletproof logic.
Phase 2: The Cognitive Landscape.
(Valued at $1,200)
Understand How People Actually Think!
Once your mind is sharp, it’s time to understand the minds of others.
In Phase 2, you’ll learn how human psychology shapes decision-making and how to ethically influence it.
You’ll dive into:
• Value systems and moral psychology
• Emotional reasoning and cognitive biases
• Conversational behavior patterns
• Science-backed persuasion principles
By the end of this phase, you'll know how to speak to the core of what drives people—and move them.

Meet Your Instructor
Stephen Petro
I believe strongly in the power of education, combined with action, to transform lives. I have seen this to be the case not only over my 15+ years of teaching, tutoring, and academic coaching, but also during my 10+ years teaching, training, and leading sales teams. Before attending Columbia University to focus on my studies in Neurobiology, I had already written a 300+ page peer-reviewed book on value theory, a field with intersections among philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology. Combining both my practical and theoretical experience, I’ve come to understand what it really takes to develop sharp thinking, master persuasive communication, and use those tools to influence outcomes in high-stakes situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most students report feeling a shift within the first week—especially in how they organize their thoughts and approach conversations. As you go through the live classes and implement the exercises, the transformation compounds. You’ll start noticing the difference in meetings, high-stakes discussions, and even casual conversations within the first 2–3 weeks.
You’ll learn how to organize your thoughts quickly, communicate with clarity, and handle complex conversations with confidence.
Whether you’re in a meeting, negotiation, or writing an important message, you’ll notice yourself thinking sharper, speaking more precisely, and getting better responses from the people around you. That’s not theory — that’s practical, visible progress.
We have multiple layers of support embedded within The Critical Thinking Academy.
These include:
1. Live weekly classes (a total of 12) that you can book at your convenience (we have multiple slots open every week, and you can decide which slots work best for you; you may also skip any weeks, come back at your convenience, skip another week, and so on - it is very flexible and completely up to you how you use your 12 classes)
2. Correspondence by e-mail & also video recording 3 times per week to specifically work on your goals together and troubleshoot issues or questions.
3. We have a Discord chat group which allows you to interact and connect with other students and also with me, and you can ask questions there 24/7.
4. I actually customize the curriculum for you, according to your goals (as you indicate in your onboarding form when you enroll).
Not at all. The system is built around universal thinking principles that apply across fields—business, entrepreneurship, law, tech, leadership, consulting, education, and more. If your work involves critical thinking, communication, or decision-making, this training will make you better at all three.
No problem. You get lifetime access to the training material, so you can go at your own pace. If you miss a live class, you can catch the replay or simply attend the following class. You may attend every week, skip some weeks and attend some other weeks - it's up to you; you can use your 12 classes however you wish, or optionally, you may opt not to attend at all (although attendance is highly encouraged!). The community and support system are always available to help you get back on track whenever you’re ready.
Expect to spend around 2–3 hours per week, including watching the core content, attending the live class, and practicing what you learn through short exercises. The system is designed for busy professionals—so it’s built to be efficient and practical without overwhelming your schedule. However, keep in mind that nothing is truly mandatory; you can start and stop when you wish, and you'll always be able to pick up wherever you left off.
It’s a hybrid system. You’ll get on-demand, structured modules that teach the core system step-by-step, and you’ll also join weekly live group classes where we go deeper, break down real examples, and sharpen your skills through practice. That mix gives you structure plus real-time support.
Not at all. While debate skills are part of it, this program is about something bigger: learning to think clearly, express yourself powerfully, and navigate complex conversations with control and confidence. It’s for professionals who want to be more persuasive, composed, and respected—not combative.
You’ll get immediate access to the full program dashboard, where you can start the core training right away. You’ll also receive onboarding instructions, your first live class invite, and access to the private community. Everything is laid out step-by-step so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
