Abstract

This article focuses on helping business majors understand critical thinking skills linked to negative thinking such as psychological context, Imposter Experiences. It begins with discussing a business communication course within the scope of theoretical frameworks linked to critical thinking skills and Imposter Experiences. The next section reports findings from how cross-disciplinary units in business departments collaborations were beneficial to students as they prepare for professional life. The final section discusses how learner-centered interactions can help business majors recognize and use practical critical thinking skills to circumvent negative thinking, i.e., Imposter Experiences they might encounter in both settings (academic and workplace).
