Episode Synopsis

Alan Weiss is back — this time dialing in from Nantucket with a whiskey in hand, while I’m sipping coffee from Brisbane. This episode is less “webinar,” more “walk and swirl the air” style of conversation — a craft chat about the big and little decisions we make every day.We explore:Why most decisions go wrong (hint: it’s not what you think)The 3-part decision-making framework Alan swears by (Objectives, Alternatives, Risks)Why binary decisions are dangerous — and how to reframe your thinkingHow to evaluate risk properly (without becoming a paranoid over-thinker)Why trusting your gut is smart — but it needs supportWhat to do when you know a decision is wrong but go ahead anyway (yep, been there)Alan also drops this wisdom bomb đź’Ł:“You’ve helped improve a situation. Or you’ve learned something. Either way, it was the right decision.”We also riff on:The surprising genius of the KeurigThe Coldplay camera incident and public riskAI, coin flips, and other ways people outsource their decisionsStrategic pausing (aka knowing when not to decide just yet)📍Live from Nantucket and Brisbane, this one’s a swirl of insight, optimism, personal reflection, and a good laugh.If you’ve been stuck on a decision — or stuck beating yourself up about a past one — this is for you.Sign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
