Making Better Decisions Faster

Even the most elite performers can rush to bad judgements, become paralyzed by indecision, or get worn down by decision fatigue. In this keynote, Paul Epstein reveals the streamlined three-step process he used to turn around major sports franchises — from the locker room to the boardroom. Avoid decision traps, move forward with clarity and confidence, and make the best out of your MVDs: Most Valuable Decisions.

Discover the key to making fast and effective decisions for the questions that keep you up at night:

  • Should I choose Strategy A or Strategy B?
  • Which candidate should I hire?
  • What should I spend my time on?
  • Do I take this deal, or cut it off?
  • What are my goals for next year?

The secret? The Head-Heart-Hands equation: a simple and repeatable process that taps into the power of our three most basic human tools for making better decisions faster.
