DECISIVELY HEALTHY: GETTING IN THE SWING OF SUSTAINABLE DECISION MAKING
Decision making is a repeated process not a singular event. So we need to find a way to make decisions more sustainably, with less consumption of time and energy. Sustainable Decision Making leads to improved decisions with more support, and a better chance of successful implementation. Life is full of decisions, at work, at home, in our families and in the wider community, and many people are suffering from overwhelm and "decision fatigue". Using Golf as a metaphor for a good decision making process, this talk will ignite your inspiration to embrace decision making as a fulfilling, sustainable process that draws on your strengths, wisdom and experience.
