About this listen

In our daily life, the decisions we make define us, create the experience we have and the future we will have.

However, research suggests that people regret more than a fifth of their decisions. Over a lifetime, that can equate to hundreds of thousands of regrets.

We know that decisions are often complex, can involve multiple people, produce various outcomes and call upon leadership and experience. There is a way to make decisions that feel right and stick.

Welcome to the Decision Clinic podcast with Paul Gordon, CEO and Founder of Catalyze APAC with over fifteen years’ experience leading decision-making transformation and Author of Hard Decisions Made Easy.

Learn how to overcome problems by making great decisions by listening as Paul sits down with real people to discuss and diagnose real decision challenges.
