About this episode
With so many skills competing for our attention, how do you decide which ones are worth investing in?
In this episode, Helen and Sarah explore the idea of 'no regret skills' – skills that will stay useful whatever the future of work looks like. In the first of this two-part series, Helen borrows brilliance from poker player and author Annie Duke to explore decision-making and shares four practical ways to get better at it.
🎯 What You'll Learn
– How confidence scoring can improve your decisions
– How a truth group can challenge your thinking
– How to decide which decisions deserve more of your time
– How back-casting can help you make better decisions
– Why a good decision doesn't always lead to a good outcome
Next week, Helen and Sarah explore another no regret skill: adaptability.
