Overview/Description
Making decisions in your personal and professional life is not always easy, especially when you have to cope with an uncertain or unknown future. And there are many situations that can make decision making especially difficult, such as when you have to evaluate very similar or very distinct alternatives, and then make compromises and trade-offs between them. Another situation is, when you have to decide whether to trust logic, intuition or some combination of the two. This course reviews a number of these decision-making challenges and introduces strategies for coping effectively with uncertainty, making educated trade-offs using a systematic process and placing appropriate trust in your intuition while making difficult decisions.
