About this episode
What if your biggest failures are actually your most valuable teachers? Robert Sicina, former financial services executive turned professor, reveals why analyzing our worst decisions is the key to making better ones. In this conversation, Bob shares his catastrophic career mistake with Citibank Colombia, how uncertainty derailed a "perfect" deal, and why slowing down your decision-making process matters more than the actual choice itself. This isn't about achieving perfection—it's about becoming profoundly more effective at navigating life's 1,000 daily decisions.
