Great Decisions and How to Succeed Against the Odds
Judit Petho
4xCEO, Strategic Advisor, Mentor
Make great decisions with confidence, even under difficult circumstances
Sometimes it feels like the whole world conspired against you. Your assumptions were wrong. Other people did things that went against your interests. A war was started somewhere, costs went up, and now your financial projections make no sense. A key customer cancelled the contract, or a potential investor withdrew an offer.
You can feel sorry for yourself for 30 minutes.
Then you need to find a way to move forward, make decisions and take action.
It is not just about how you handle setbacks over time.
You need to adapt and adjust in real time. You need to do things you've never done before. An old safety net can't hold you anymore.
All the while, you are stressed, overwhelmed, and there is no playbook to follow.
What if you can't "keep a cool head"?
What separates people who consistently make sound calls when stressed, with incomplete information, in high-stakes conditions, isn't intelligence or experience alone. It's a set of specific mental habits and structural practices that can be learnt.
What you’ll learn
You'll learn to make great decisions with confidence, using your own strengths, even when the odds are against you.
Understand whether you tend to stall or to move with false confidence — and what to do about it so make better decisions
Whether you "keep a cool head" or get overwhelmed under stress, you'll learn how to turn that to your advantage
The ability to name the trade-offs you need to make and how to make peace with them so fear doesn't hold you back.
I'll show you why everything is relative and how the silver lining can be a legitimate success.
I'll show you how to distinguish between instinct you can trust and instinct that is just a wish for an outcome.
I'll show you a decision log practice that materially improves your calibration and help you find clarity even in tough circumstances.
It's not just about "pushing through" and "persevering". I'll show you the smart way to find a way through.
