Podcasts about decision sciences

Lawyers make decisions all day, and they spend a lot of emotional energy helping others wrestle with their own choices.

In this episode, decision scientist Nika Kabiri helps legaltech brands reframe how they think about supporting lawyers' decisions through marketing, and helps founders address their own biases that get in the way.

Why Are You Still Saying Yes to This? | Weekly Energy Forecast April 14–20, 2025What are you still being loyal to… that's quietly stealing your peace?In this week's Energy Weather Report, I share the intuitive download I received when I asked, “What do you most need to know right now?” The answer was clear:It's time to let go of the things that keep you up at night.

Are you craving deeper connection? Wondering where your soul tribe is hiding?This week's energy is building toward the beautiful Full Moon in Libra—and it's all about harmony, aligned relationships, and calling in the people who really get you.

Why Smart People Make Dumb Decisions (And How to Stop) | Dr. Alan Barnard (Part 1) .

This one's for the empaths trying to figure out the difference between healthy holding and fearful hoarding. Boundaries are sacred containers. They're how you honor your energy, your time, your intuition.But when fear creeps in — fear of being drained, judged, or misunderstood — we might go from protecting to withholding.That's when our healthy boundary morphs into an energetic wall.And here's the thing: walls don't just keep others out… They can block your blessings, too.This week, I invite you to check in with yourself:Are you saying “no” from empowerment or from fear?Is that boundary rooted in truth or old trauma?And are you willing to gently lower a wall… so something beautiful can come in?This is the perfect time to realign. The moon is growing.

A man goes into a bar… This is the beginning of a riddle that our guest, Yoed Kennet, an assistant professor at the Technion's Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences, uses to measure creativity in subjects. In our talk, Yoed speaks about how to combine cognitive science and network science to explore the complexities and decode the mysteries of the human mind. The listeners will learn how network science provides tools to map and analyze human memory, revealing how problem-solving and creativity emerge from changes in semantic memory structures. Key insights include the role of memory restructuring during moments of insight, the connection between semantic networks and creative thinking, and how understanding these processes can improve problem-solving and analogical reasoning. Real-life applications span enhancing creativity in the workplace, building tools to combat cognitive rigidity in aging, and improving learning strategies by fostering richer, more flexible mental networks. ------------------------------- Want to listen ad-free?  Try our Graphs Course?  Join Data Skeptic+ for $5 / month of $50 / year https://plus.dataskeptic.com
