In this episode, I delve into the intricate world of decision-making under pressure, sharing insights from my experience as a retired search and rescue pilot. You can find me here. I introduce the DECIDE model, a structured approach designed to streamline your choices in high-stress scenarios, allowing for clarity and focus. We explore each component of the model: Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, and Evaluate, emphasizing their importance in overcoming decision paralysis.

Real-life examples illustrate how to utilize this model effectively, whether at work or in daily life. Additionally, I touch on potential psychological barriers that could affect decision-making, stressing the importance of seeking professional help if such challenges persist. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to cultivate their decision-making skills over time, just as pilots refine their abilities. Join me as we embark on a journey toward more confident and empowered decision-making.
