- Build a personal decision system for recurring choices in career, finances, and life
Course Syllabus
Stop Deciding by Gut Alone
You make thousands of decisions daily. Most are routine. But the ones that matter — career changes, business pivots, major purchases, hiring decisions — deserve better than a gut feeling and a pros-and-cons list on a napkin.
AI doesn’t make decisions for you. It makes your decision process rigorous: structuring options, exposing hidden assumptions, quantifying tradeoffs, and challenging the biases you don’t know you have.
Who This Course Is For
- Professionals facing career crossroads, leadership decisions, or strategic choices
- Business owners evaluating opportunities, risks, and investments
- Managers who need to make team decisions that stick and get buy-in
- Anyone who has agonized over a big decision and wished for a clearer process
What You’ll Learn
This course gives you a decision-making toolkit:
- Frameworks — Weighted matrices, decision trees, and reversibility analysis
- Bias detection — Identifying the mental shortcuts that lead you astray
- Risk analysis — Scenario planning, expected value, and pre-mortem thinking
- High-stakes decisions — When the wrong choice has serious consequences
- Group decisions — Avoiding groupthink and building stakeholder alignment
- Speed calibration — Knowing when to decide quickly and when to slow down
What to Expect
Each lesson includes AI prompts you can use immediately with any major decision you’re facing. The frameworks work with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant. By the capstone, you’ll build a personal decision system tailored to your recurring choices.
Prerequisites: A decision you’re currently facing (or recently made) to use as a practice case throughout the course.
