This talk will align with your aim to improve our understanding of ourselves, our community and our world.

Jack Welch, as well as others, seem to always tell us to “trust our gut.” Quite often people make “gut” decisions that they ultimately regret. What happened? Why did their gut fail them? The decisions we make in life are heavily influenced by past experiences, and the emotions attached to those experiences, resulting in an automatic decision that they make without really thinking.

This talk will focus on the Nobel Prize, winning concepts around decision making, and provide a blueprint for helping people understand why and when the gut can be dangerous in decision making, when to trust it, and how to understand the difference.
