Sometimes we think too much about our decisions. Perhaps we would do better to see them more insightfully. Or just act on them in order to think about them better. This session contrasts "thinking first" with "seeing first" and "doing first" as approaches to decision making, using examples from finding a mate to handling decisions at work.

The objectives for this session are to:

  • Get beyond thinking in decision making to seeing and doing
  • Appreciate that we have to act in order to think, as much as think in order to act
  • Approach some key decisions differently
