Speaking Topics

Master the decisions that will shape your life

Time well spent... presentations with an ROI

Mastering decision-making
Success hinges on the quality of our decisions, but even the brightest minds fall victim to biases, misperceptions, false confidence and flawed thinking. The result? Firefighting problems instead of creating opportunities. In less than 60 minutes you can learn how to make any critical decision with 100% certainty.
Working effectively
Most people think they won’t know if a decision was good or bad until they see the outcome. That’s not decision-making – that’s gambling and wishful thinking – and it’s costing your group or organization time, money, and growth.
Thinking critically
When you understand how your mind really makes decisions (Spoiler Alert – it’s not how you may think it does), you’ll not only make a “good” decisions consciously and objectively, but you’ll execute them with complete conviction.
