•  We identify maladaptive coping strategies (e.g. avoidance and procrastination) and explore more

        effective (and healthier) strategies.

• We discuss the need to fill your bucket and why balance in our lives is essential to creativity, insight,

  motivation, and our ability to deal constructively with feedback and rejection.

• we discuss the role of our biases, thinking patterns, and behavioural choices play in how we evaluate

       situations and available options.

• we explore the forces that keep us from making decisions: the worry, the overwhelm, the self-critical

       inner voices.

• we put in practice concrete strategies to improve our decision-making and compensate for some of

  the most common cognitive biases and thinking traps.

• we discuss the main hurdles in our decision-making, as individuals, as teams and as leaders.
