Welcome to Episode 8  &  the third in our series of Smart Risks.  In this episode we are exploring the all important tools to help you make better decisions.  Last week we explored some of the decision making biases, this week we paired your profile with some of the biases to watch out for and offer tools to overcome these biases.  In this Pod you will receive quick hacks, larger decision analysis systems and some watch outs for decisions making in teams.

ELEVATE CHALLENGE:
Take the 6Step/Decision tree model and use it to solve a decision you have been mulling over.  Try writing down as much as possible, sleeping on your initial thoughts, then going out and researching the alternatives and probabilities. If this model doesn't work for you try one of the other larger decision systems discussed the OOC/EMR Tony Robbins model, or the decision pre-mortem.
