Podcasts about better decisions

The tools of thinking that fueled the Growth Mindset and fast decisions behind the success of Jeff Bezos. Bezos frames business as a series of silent promises: to customers, to colleagues, to the future. Each promise is a primitive—simple, sturdy, waiting to be linked. When those links form, independence evolves into interdependence, and a whisper becomes a flywheel. In this conversation, we explore how “Day One” thinking keeps the path clear, how a “regret-minimization lens” invites bold choices, and why “single-threaded leadership” protects the soul of a project. Name your primitives—identify the small assets that can connect to others. Map the flywheel—draw how each promise fuels the next. Practice long-horizon thinking—act today as if seven years depend on it.

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Unlock Better Decisions With This 4-Quadrant Brain Hack April 28, 2025 | Episode 5081 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever struggle with making good decisions? In today's episode, Scott shares a powerful decision-making technique he learned from his mom years ago - and later enhanced with real science. This simple but effective method goes beyond the traditional pro/con list to help you cut through information overload and gain the clarity you need. Plus, Scott delivers his signature motivation to get you unstuck and moving forward today! Featured Story Scott takes us back to his childhood home in Virginia, sitting on his mom's staircase landing, where she taught him a decision-making approach he's used for decades. Taking the classic pro/con list to the next level with "quantum linguistics," Scott breaks down how to divide your thinking into four powerful quadrants that reveal the adequate information you need. This simple technique has been a game-changer in Scott's life and teaching. Key Takeaways The world has always been crazy and always will be - what matters is your ability to stand up and take action despite the chaos. Taking yourself at your word and holding yourself to your expectations is the key to making real progress toward your goals. Most decision paralysis comes from information overload rather than inadequate information. Scott's four-quadrant method helps you cut through the noise. Memorable Quotes "Stand up, take a step, repeat. Keep going until you get what you want." "Expect yourself. Take yourself at your word that you wrote it down for a reason and hold yourself to that expectation." "If I can get you to physically stand up and do something, emotionally stand up, intellectually stand up, not just sit there - you win, I win, winner, winner, chicken dinner." Scott's Three-Step Approach Draw a page with four quadrants labeled: "What would happen if I did this?", "What wouldn't happen if I did this?", "What would happen if I didn't?", and "What wouldn't happen if I didn't?". You can start filling in the first quadrant with your current decision and watch clarity emerge quickly. Trust the process even if it feels confusing at first - this technique purposely rattles your brain to help you think differently.

What if we said “yes” to Jesus—before we even heard the question? A bold yes. A courageous yes. A yes that moves from the back pocket of convenience onto the table of surrender. At Encounter Church, we believe that the power of a “yes” can change everything. It changes us. It changes our neighborhoods. It changes our world.

This episode of Cruising Altitude features a conversation with CIO Alice Fournier, CMO Marjorie McCarthy, and Head of People & Culture, CHRO Lisa Mitchell-Kastner of ISS Americas, hosted by Nicole Alvino, CEO and co-founder of Firstup. Together, they talk about how their collaborative efforts enhance the employee experience through technology and AI. The discussion covers the importance of personalized communication, data-driven decisions, and AI in recruitment and onboarding processes. The episode also explores the nuances of managing a diverse and extensive workforce and the role of continuous communication and change management in successful transformations.Quotes*” If we can bring an applicant in and start to connect with them in their own native language on their own technical level of comfort, and in a way that serves them best, we found very early in that there was an opportunity to win in the marketplace or win in the talent war, and really connect with our employee base throughout their journey from applicant through retire, because we hope they stay with us for their entire career.” - Lisa Mitchell-Kastner*” My favorite phraseology is this collective genius construct, where collaboration comes together with all of our unique and collective experiences and the genius that comes with each of those. And I think in this world and day and age, but definitely with the eclectic nature, not only of the products and services we provide, but with the people that serve to provide those, high collaboration is so important.  That high collaboration towards a common goal. We all want the same thing. We all want high engagement for our customers. We all want exceptional best in class customer experiences, and we all want exceptional best in class people, human experiences. None of us can do that in a vacuum, and it is when all of that collective genius comes together that we really get the best impact.” - Lisa Mitchell-Kastner*” Probably the most exciting and most challenging approach to, or reality around, transformation is to keep up the pace of technology while not going after the shiny object.  How much or how little do you bring AI into your organization? How much or how little do you bring in all kinds of new technologies? There is so much out there that can accelerate the organization, but the reality in the CIO role and employee technology is no different. You have a subset of really legacy types of applications on which the foundation of a lot of organizations sit. And so when you're talking about transforming these core systems, these are exciting, exciting times in technology, but they are also true challenges given how quickly the world's evolving.” - Alice FournierTime Stamps[00:57] Meet the ISS Americas Leadership Team[1:45] Enhancing Employee Experience with Technology[7:03] Understanding ISS Americas[10:20] Challenges in IT and Digital Employee Experience[12:48] Collaboration for Exceptional Employee Experience[17:56] Transforming Pre-Hire Experience with AI[23:00] Creating Personalized Employee Journeys[26:17] Leveraging Data for Better Decisions[34:04] Supporting Transformation Through CommunicationLinksConnect on LinkedIn with:Alice FournierMarjorie McCarthyLisa Mitchell-KastnerLearn more about ISS AmericasThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the world's first intelligent communication platform.

Join Joe McDonald as he explores the concept of faith and trusting in spiritual direction, as outlined in Steps 10 and 11 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe uses the analogy of a quarterback throwing a ball to where you need to be, not where you are, to demonstrate the exercise of faith. He explains that faith is not a foreign concept; we practice it in everyday situations. Joe also highlights the importance of letting go of control, allowing us to receive direction from within, rather than trying to define how things should happen.In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 10 encourages ongoing self-reflection, and Step 11 calls for seeking spiritual guidance through prayer and meditation. Joe emphasizes that spiritual direction requires us to relax, take it easy, and trust the process—without trying to control the outcome.To support and learn from journeys like Joe McDonald, please like, comment, and share.

All good things come to an end…This was a hard one to record. I wanted to overthink my decision. I have been trying to force something that I knew in my heart wasn't what was best for me. I wanted someone to tell me what to do and how to do it. I definitely tried to overthink what to say, but ultimately, I knew that if I didn't do what I knew I needed to do and just get it out there, I would not be serving you to the fullest.If you want to stay connected, be sure to join my email list: https://theboldlogic.com/dailydeciderLAST CHANCE!

I am guessing most of you know, or assume you know, who I voted for. We all feel passionately about who we voted for and why.  At this point, everyone has big feelings, so let's be kind.Now that the election is over, I have several concerns, the most immediate being that we take a minute to make decisions that are in alignment with who we are and not made in haste driven by anger, joy, rage, excitement, pain, or entitlement.What we saw happen last election season with the white house being stormed was unacceptable, and I really hope we find it within us to be examples of taking the higher ground. This doesn't mean we don't have a voice. It means that we show up in ways that prove who we really are and what we stand for.We do this by not suppressing whatever feelings we are currently having, but by acknowledging those feelings in safe places.But how do we do that?!  Where do we start?!Schedule a free call with Jessica here!

Do you relate to today's guest? Tamara Hawes Woods is the founder of Cȯcomadre, a career and personal development platform designed to help women who are STARs (skilled through alternative routes) and SEEkers (those who lack skills, education, and experience) to achieve their dreams. She created Cȯcomadre on the heels of a personal and catastrophic financial loss that left her with only $3.59 in her bank account. Tamara experienced firsthand how difficult it can be for a capable, unpaid caretaker who has been out of the workforce to find meaningful work. She created Cȯcomadre to support women who are seeking meaningful work. Most of Cocomadre's population may have little paid experience that translates into resumed work and needs help to understand how the job market and industries have evolved, what roles are available, and where they would be a fit. Through Cȯcomadre, STARs and SEEkers can engage with the resources, training, and partners who can help facilitate meaningful work and purpose.Connect with Tamara and Cȯcomadre: https://www.cocomadre.com/https/classescocomadrecom/offers/iozc9kqlInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cocomadre.co/Feeling FoMo because you missed the very last BOLDly You Retreat?!

Dr. Joel Pearson is a cognitive neuroscientist, author of “The Intuition Toolkit,” and a pioneer in objectively measuring human intuition. This conversation explores the fascinating science behind intuition, revealing its influential role in decision-making. We discuss Joel's groundbreaking research, the SMILE framework for cultivating reliable intuition, the hidden benefits of aphantasia, the illusion of free will, and the manipulative influence of AI on our choices. This conversation is itself a toolkit—covering the difference between intuition, instinct, and impulse; what influences the reliability of intuition; and when to use or avoid it. I greatly admire Joel's work in understanding the mind and consciousness, which tackles the root of humanity's most fundamental problems. It will change the way you think about gut feelings. Enjoy!
