WEBVTT 00:00.320 --> 00:03.784 Welcome to this decision making course. My name is Alex Ginedinik 00:03.832 --> 00:07.368 and I'll be your instructor. In this video, I'll briefly tell you what to expect 00:07.424 --> 00:10.600 from the course and we'll start right away. Well, 00:10.640 --> 00:14.200 this course is going to focus on decision making for the professional 00:14.280 --> 00:17.784 environment, specifically for people in leadership roles. 00:17.832 --> 00:21.432 Because every day you have to make a number of decisions that 00:21.456 --> 00:25.800 are mundane daily decisions, but there are also some big 00:25.920 --> 00:29.824 high stake decisions and we're always under stress, 00:29.992 --> 00:33.792 so our decision making is hard to begin with, but when 00:33.816 --> 00:37.552 we're under stress, it's even harder. So I'll break everything down for 00:37.576 --> 00:41.216 you. We'll start by understanding the role of emotions versus 00:41.248 --> 00:44.816 the role of logic because we all think we are so logical. But it turns 00:44.848 --> 00:48.992 out that according to neuroscience research, most of our decision making is 00:49.096 --> 00:52.432 profoundly emotional. And once we get a 00:52.456 --> 00:55.728 good grasp of our emotions and understand exactly which parts 00:55.744 --> 00:59.870 of the brain are activated, when you'll be able to control 01:00.410 --> 01:03.778 your stress, the levels of stress, control your 01:03.834 --> 01:07.122 brain, rein it in and not be at the whim 01:07.186 --> 01:10.002 of the stress, but make clear decisions. 01:10.066 --> 01:13.682 And when it comes to making clear decisions, I'll be showing you how to have 01:13.706 --> 01:17.570 a data driven approach so that you can look at specific data, 01:17.690 --> 01:20.834 look at your goals, look at the KPI, these are the 01:20.842 --> 01:24.988 key performance indicators you're tracking. And make decisions 01:25.084 --> 01:28.636 that are going to be healthy in the long term and the short term. 01:28.708 --> 01:32.604 Because the top CEOs in the world, I'll show you 01:32.692 --> 01:36.220 how they think and I'll show you how they make decisions. But a hint is 01:36.260 --> 01:40.428 that they prioritize the long term and they look for 01:40.564 --> 01:44.076 outsized exponential results. Long term, 01:44.228 --> 01:47.800 they sacrifice a lot of gain in the short term, 01:48.100 --> 01:51.384 but the decisions weigh heavily in higher, 01:51.472 --> 01:54.552 higher, higher results in the long term. Which if you want that for 01:54.576 --> 01:58.040 your, if you get that for your career, that's incredible growth. If you get that 01:58.080 --> 02:01.336 for your business, that's incredible growth. That's what we're 02:01.368 --> 02:05.688 after in this course. Of course, this also will enlighten 02:05.784 --> 02:10.072 your decision making in your personal life and just level up 02:10.176 --> 02:14.008 all your outcomes which were originated at some point by some 02:14.064 --> 02:17.810 decision. So that's the course. My name is Alex Medinic 02:17.970 --> 02:21.458 and I've been a long time entrepreneur and I know the difference. 02:21.554 --> 02:25.346 I felt it firsthand of making decisions that were wrong 02:25.538 --> 02:28.802 or decisions where I gave in to stress too 02:28.826 --> 02:31.250 much which led to years later, 02:31.370 --> 02:34.530 mediocre or not so good business outcomes. And then I saw, 02:34.570 --> 02:38.034 oh, if I just made a different decision that 02:38.042 --> 02:41.522 was a little better. I didn't give in to stress, I would 02:41.546 --> 02:45.250 have had a great, far greater outcome a few 02:45.290 --> 02:48.994 years later. And it's painful to look back in, but it's a great 02:49.082 --> 02:52.594 business lesson so that our decision making long term 02:52.682 --> 02:56.098 can improve. So that's going to be this course. You'll level up your decision 02:56.154 --> 02:59.410 making like you never imagined before. Welcome. And let's begin.
