As technology makes it possible to automate decision-making processes, anyone who makes decisions for a living must become a specialist in making the very toughest calls. When it comes to making really big decisions, your emotions, psychology and physiological state offer valuable information that isn't in your Excel model. Having a methodical process to effectively integrate your logic, reason and intellect with inner mastery of emotional intelligence, intuition, gut instinct, mindfulness and judgement is a competitive advantage worth having.
The best way to learn these techniques is to experience them. Adan makes this possible with the Decision Facilitation Workshop and the Decision-Making Skills Workshop, both designed for senior decision-makers, teaching proven psychological techniques for enhanced decision-making.
Most people successfully take the decision with high-conviction and a clear action plan in one session. The rest gain greater clarity about the steps and conditions required to achieve a decision.
