Critical Thinking is the skill of analyzing information objectively to form a sound judgment. It's about being logical, skeptical, and finding the truth .

Creative Thinking is the skill of generating new and original ideas. It's about being imaginative, open-minded, and looking at problems from a fresh perspective .

• Critical Thinking is convergent. It's about filtering ideas down to the one best solution.
• Creative Thinking is divergent. It's about generating as many ideas as possible .

No, they are partners. You use creativity to brainstorm 10 solutions, and then you use critical thinking to pick the best one .

Yes! This is the #1 myth. Creativity is not a "talent" you are born with; it's a skill and a process that anyone can learn and practice .

Creativity is just "problem-solving." When your client has a complex financial problem, you need to be creative to find a legal, ethical solution that saves them money. That's creativity .

Great ideas are useless if they aren't practical. Critical thinking is the skill that turns your "what if..." idea into a "here's how..." plan .

This is a key part of creative thinking. It's about solving problems by taking an indirect or non-obvious approach, "thinking outside the box" .

It's a mental "shortcut" or "blind spot" that leads you to a wrong conclusion. A common one is "Confirmation Bias" (only looking for information that supports your existing belief). We teach you to spot these .

No. "Common sense" is often filled with biases. This is a structured, disciplined process for thinking that is better than common sense .

Asking "Why?" Don't just accept information. Ask why it's true, what the evidence is, and who is saying it .

It's the process of finding the real problem, not just the symptom. We teach a simple tool called the "5 Whys" to do this .

Yes, this is extremely common. This is "Imposter Syndrome." Your achievements are high, but your internal belief in your worth is still low .

• Saying "no" calmly and without guilt.
• Accepting a compliment with a simple "thank you."
• Handling failure by thinking, "What can I learn from this?"
• Stating your opinion respectfully, even if others disagree.
• Taking care of your own needs (sleep, health, etc) .

It can be very damaging. It creates a "comparison culture" where you are constantly measuring your real life against someone else's "highlight reel".

Start with self-compassion. The next time you make a mistake, stop, and talk to yourself with the same kindness you would show to a friend .

It's treating yourself with kindness, especially when you fail or feel inadequate. It's the opposite of self-criticism .

You don't "stop" it, you "manage" it.

1. Notice it (e.g., "Ah, my inner critic is here").
2. Challenge it ("Is that 100% true?").
3. Replace it with a more balanced, compassionate thought .

They can, but only if they are believable. If you have low self-esteem, "I am amazing" feels like a lie. A better affirmation is, "I am a work in progress, and I am learning every day." We teach you to craft believable ones .

When you set a healthy boundary (e.g., "I cannot work late tonight"), you send a powerful message to your own brain that your time, energy, and needs are valuable .

If you promise yourself you'll wake up 10 minutes early to stretch, and you do it, you build self-trust. Self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself .

Focus on your own journey. We'll teach you to practice gratitude for what you do have and to use others for inspiration, not comparison .

No. We prefer "Face it 'til you make it." We teach you to face your insecurities with courage, not just put on an arrogant mask  .

When you take care of your body (eat well, sleep, exercise), you are sending a non-verbal message to your brain that "I am worth taking care of" .

A powerful tool. We'll teach you to do a "daily win" log (writing down one small thing you did well) or to write out and challenge your negative thoughts .

Don't deflect ("Oh, this old thing?"). Just pause, make eye contact, and say a simple, warm, "Thank you" .

You'll learn to "sift" it. Listen for the kernel of truth that might be useful, and discard the rest (the emotional, personal attack) without letting it crush you .

We'll teach you to separate your action from your identity. You failed an exam; you are not a failure. This distinction is everything .

It's often a symptom of low self-esteem. It's the belief that "If I am perfect, then I will be worthy of love." We teach you to strive for "excellence" (which is healthy) not "perfection" (which is a trap) .

These are your guiding principles (e.g., honesty, kindness, integrity). When you live in a way that aligns with your values, your self-esteem naturally rises .

It's for our students (CA, ACCA, IBPS, etc.), working professionals, and anyone who feels they are being held back by self-doubt, perfectionism, or a nagging "not good enough" feeling .

Our trainers are certified experts in soft skills, life coaching, and psychology, with a special focus on building confidence and resilience in high-achievers .

No! This is a highly interactive and practical workshop. It involves self-reflection exercises (that you can keep private), small group discussions, and building a personal action plan .

No. This is an educational, skill-building workshop. If you are struggling with severe depression, anxiety, or trauma, please consult a licensed therapist or medical professional. This course is a wonderful support to therapy, but it is not a substitute .

They are partners. Positive Thinking is about your outlook on the world. Self-Esteem is about your opinion of yourself. It's hard to be positive about the world if you don't feel good about yourself. This course is the foundation .

They are also linked. When you have low self-esteem, you are more likely to have strong, negative emotional reactions (like anger or panic). Building your self-esteem helps you stay calmer and more regulated .

Yes. In fact, it's especially for you. It's not about turning you into an extrovert. It's about building your quiet, internal confidence and worth, so you feel comfortable just being yourself .

A notebook and an open mind. That's all .

Your self-esteem projects non-verbally. You will sit taller, make better eye contact, and answer questions with a calm confidence that interviewers can feel .

This course will give you the tools and the courage to start setting boundaries. It's a journey, but this is the first step .

We will give you simple, powerful exercises to practice, like a "Self-Compassion Break" or a "Daily Win" journal .

Because at Mercury Edutech, we believe in building the whole professional. A brilliant accountant with no self-esteem will have a limited career. We are committed to your total success .

The first step is recognizing that you are worthy of investing in yourself. The second step is to call us or visit our center in Nagercoil. We are here to support you .
