DECISIONS:
Attendees of the Odyssey Decision Maker Masterclass will apply the award-winning ProConCloud method to any challenging problem or decision conflict they are facing. This method was specifically designed to help us make those "impossible" decisions - decisions where there are clear Pros and Cons of making a Change, but also clear Pros and Cons of not making a Change. When faced with such decisions we often get stuck, over-react or make compromise decisions. Attendees will go through an award-winning process to get a deeper understanding. Attendees will also work to discover limiting beliefs and ensure that their breakthrough solution is really a WIN-WIN for all stakeholders.
