So what are the best practices used by the leaders of Fortune 500 companies to make the right calls in all types of scenarios on even the toughest decisions to maximize company bottom lines and advance their own careers?

"Master science-based best practices of Fortune 500 firms" You are getting the benefit of my two decades of experience as a trainer and consultant for Fortune 500 executives, managers, and supervisors when you take my courses. As the CEO of the training and consulting firm Disaster Avoidance Experts, I trained these leaders on my areas of expertise – cutting-edge behavioral science-based techniques in decision making, future proofing, and cognitive bias risk management in the future of work. and related fields. My clients include Fortune 500 firms such as Aflac, Applied Materials, Entergy, Honda, IBM, Jones Lang LaSalle, Reckitt, Wells Fargo, and Xerox; large nonprofits such as the World Wildlife Fund and The Columbus Foundation; government agencies such as the US Defense Health Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; as well as numerous middle-market companies and quickly-growing startups. You can be confident that you are getting the training courses that these organizations paid me a lot of money to develop. Besides these two decades of real-world experience, my expertise also comes from a deep research background as a behavioral scientist. I spent over 15 years in academia, first getting a PhD and teaching at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then teaching for 7 years as a professor at Ohio State University, where I published numerous peer-reviewed academic publications. While there, I taught thousands of students online and in-person using the latest principles in the educational psychology of adult learning. My teaching combines Fortune 500 best practices with groundbreaking research findings and educational psychology methodologies. My expertise has been widely recognized in over 550 articles I published and 450 interviews I gave to prominent venues. They include Fortune, USA Today, Fast Company, CBS News, CNBC, Time, Business Insider, Government Executive, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and Inc. Magazine. Publishers and readers also recognize the quality of my content. I published 7 best-selling books, including global bestsellers Never Go With Your Gut: How Pioneering Leaders Make the Best Decisions and Avoid Business Disasters (Career Press, 2019) and The Blindspots Between Us: How to Overcome Unconscious Cognitive Bias and Build Better Relationships (New Harbinger Press, 2020). My newest best-seller is Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage (Intentional Insights, 2021). My expertise is globally renowned. My writing was translated into and published in Chinese, Korean, Russian, Polish, French, German, and other languages. On a personal note, I live in Columbus, Ohio. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, gardening, and reading. I also make sure to spend abundant quality time with my wife to avoid my personal life turning into a disaster. I hope to see you in my classes and look forward to sharing the techniques used by executives, managers, and supervisors at Fortune 500 firms with you.

    I have never heard NOT going with your gut so this approach is new to me. I found that Gleb's rationale made sense and I can see now how going with your guy can lead to bad decisions. I'm excited to use his method for making important decisions.

    This will be very useful if I apply it and practice. The information shared makes sense, is practical, and not difficult to apply. My one feedback is that prior to putting this in practice, it is quite a bit to remember. I would appreciate Gleb prioritizing at the end. This way, I can grow confidence as I utilize more and more.
