With everything that's going on in the world with regards COVID19, market movements and the subsequent talk of a recession, I wanted to take a slight detour from this month's theme of Management consulting stories and talk about how we balance facts with emotions.

Specifically, in today's podcast, I discuss how we can make the best decisions when our desire for objectivity seems overwhelmed by our emotions. Specifically, I outline the 10 underlying principles that help guide decision-making during times of fear, risk and uncertainty.

This month’s podcasts will focus - fittingly as we kick off 2020 - on the topic of "Aspirations”, or what is it that we want, what these wants involve and what tradeoffs we need to make to get what we want. 

In today’s podcast, I wrap up this month’s discussions by reiterating what should be a key guiding principle - that our decisions need to be ours and we need to own them. Our judgement is our own best guide and we need to ensure we don’t simply follow the herd.
