One Simple Trick for Making Hard Decisions | Debreon Davis | TEDxOklahomaCity

How many decisions do you make in a day? The number is higher than you might guess. It’s estimated that the average person makes 35,000 decisions every day. And for leaders, many decisions have to be made on behalf of others. So how do we make sound decisions in times of chaos and crisis? As a child, little did Debreon Davis know that a simple directive from her grandmother to “stand up straight” would have such a profound impact on her ability to make decisions as an adult.
