Decision Making 101 - A 90 Minute Interactive Crash Course
90-minute online session
Includes pre-work + access to the Future Skills Academy learning community
The decisions you make shape everything
Your work, your team, your direction, your impact.
And yet… most of us were never really taught how to make decisions.
We rely on experience, intuition, and “what feels right.”
In a world of increasing complexity, constant information, and AI-driven input, that’s no longer enough.
This session is not about becoming perfectly rational.
It’s about becoming aware of how you actually decide, and learning how to design better decisions in real situations.
Why this matters now
Today’s decisions are:
more complex
more ambiguous
more visible in their consequences
At the same time, our brains are wired to:
simplify too quickly
confirm what we already believe
ignore what doesn’t fit our story
Even experienced professionals fall into these patterns. Not because they lack intelligence, but because this is how human thinking works.
If you lead, create, build, or influence others, decision-making is one of the most critical skills you have.
What you’ll walk away with
In 90 minutes, you will:
Recognize how you currently make decisions (often without noticing it)
Understand the hidden biases shaping your thinking
Experience how context and pressure influence your judgment
Apply a simple but powerful decision lens to a real situation
This is not theory.
You will work on your own decision during the session.
Before the session
We ask you to bring:
One real decision you are currently facing
orA recent decision you are still unsure about
(Optional reflection: What made this decision difficult?)
What we’ll do together
This is an interactive session, not a lecture.
We will move through:
A short exercise that reveals how your thinking works under pressure
Insights into why smart people still make flawed decisions
A look at the environment around you, not just what’s in your head
A simple framework you can immediately apply
You’ll leave with a clearer view on your own thinking, and a different way of approaching decisions.
A simple shift
Decision-making is not about thinking harder.
It’s about seeing clearer, involving others better, and structuring your choices differently.
