Which career should I pursue? Where should I move? A pro-con list just doesn't cut it for decisions this big. In this course, you will use better tools to work with all the thoughts, feelings, and what-ifs that weigh you down, so you can make the decision that's right for you.

Make Decisions with Less Stress and More Clarity

You won't arrive at the right solution unless you know you're solving the right problem. You'll learn how to use the Decision Hierarchy to determine the appropriate frame for your decision, so that you focus on the right decision at the right point in time.

Define: Your Decision

It's surprising how many people attempt to make a big decision without first defining their objectives. You'll learn how to use the Pro-Con List With A Twist to identify the criteria that will drive your decision making and refine them until you have a clear picture of what you want.

Define: What Matters

With big decisions, often there is so much to consider, it's difficult to know where to start. You'll learn the three components of every decision and how to use them to identify where you're getting stuck.

Digest: Piece by Piece

Emotions and thoughts can either hinder or help. Learn about common cognitive biases and how to combat them, as well as what to do with the inevitable emotions that arise in the decision making process.

Digest: With a Clear Mind

Sometimes the biggest thing keeping us from taking action is the desire for more information. But rarely is it possible to know everything with certainty. You'll learn how to determine whether additional research is useful and develop your muscle of dealing with the unknown.

Decide: Even When Lacking Information

You're ready to make a decision, but then what? How do you bust through those last barriers to action? What happens if the situation changes? You'll develop your plan for continually building your decision making chops so that you'll be ready for whatever the future may bring.

Decide: Now, And In The Future
