Transform how you approach tough decisions—from anxious avoidance to structured confidence. You'll learn the Pros-Cons-Mitigations framework that turns overwhelming choices into clear analysis by adding one crucial element most people miss: specific actions to reduce your biggest concerns. Master using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to generate comprehensive options you might not see on your own—then process that output critically rather than accepting it blindly. Most importantly, learn to align your decisions with your authentic values, so you make choices you can actually live with, not just choices that 'make sense.' Through realistic role plays and coach dialogues, you'll practice explaining the framework and evaluating real decisions. Designed for anyone facing career moves, major purchases, relationship choices, or life transitions. No technical background required.
