Why doesn't your gut make great decisions? The answer: cognitive bias. I'll show you how to get to the outside view — what is true of the world independent of your own point of view.

What gets in the way of making good decisions.

Teams don’t always produce higher-quality decisions — they just have higher confidence. You'll learn how to find out when people disagree and normalize dissent in groups.

Making effective decisions on a team.

There's a time-accuracy trade-off with decisions. I'll teach you my best frameworks for figuring out how fast you can go when making decisions.

Most people use ChatGPT for emails and summaries. Cassie will show you how to use it for what actually matters: career moves, negotiations, strategic planning, and high-stakes decisions where you need to think clearly under pressure. Forget busywork, let's focus on the things that really matter and make a real impact. We live in a world where advice is cheap, AI is abundant, and judgment is priceless. This course teaches you how to stay in charge of your thinking while using AI to enhance—not replace—your decision-making. ✨ Cassie’s Note to You“AI will free you for the hard work of figuring out what actually matters.

Let’s make sure you’re really good at it.” 🧰 What You’ll Walk Away With:✅ Reusable decision projects you can build in minutes and apply forever✅ De-biasing frameworks for high-stakes decision checks✅ Better decision ROI so that the same amount of effort gets you higher decision quality✅ Decision documentation templates that will help you grow as a decision-maker In Cassie’s words: “A better decision maker isn’t someone who works harder—it’s someone who maximizes their return on effort.” 🧭 Course Format3 hours | Live session (with recording access for all attendees) 🧩 2 hours of live, high-energy teaching with real examples and interactive frameworks💬 1 hour of open Q&amp;A This is Cassie at her most authentic: fast-paced, practical, and fun.

In this course, you will gain a powerful toolkit of decision-making frameworks used by top performers—from mental models and probabilistic thinking to prioritization techniques and scenario planning. They'll learn to cut through complexity, reduce bias, and make thoughtful, timely decisions with greater clarity and less regret. Through hands-on exercises, real-world examples, and peer discussions, students will internalize a repeatable process they can apply to high-stakes choices in work, life, and leadership. At work: Evaluate which product ideas to prioritize, make smarter hiring decisions, or decide whether to pivot a project—using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix or Expected Value calculations. In your career: Navigate tough choices like switching jobs, asking for a promotion, or starting a business by applying frameworks like regret minimization or inversion. In personal life: Use structured thinking to decide where to live, how to invest your time, or manage trade-offs like saving vs. spending—reducing decision fatigue and second-guessing. In leadership: Make high-leverage calls with confidence, communicate decisions with clarity, and coach your team through ambiguity using the same frameworks.
