EP 208: Annie Duke - A Masterclass on Decision Making

Annie Duke is a former professional poker player who won more than $4 million in poker tournaments, holds a prestigious World Series of Poker gold bracelet and was the leading money winner among women in World Series Of Poker history. A best selling author, her new book 'How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices' teaches us the true science of decision making, helping to explain how we can make better decisions, every day. Many of us can trace our greatest successes back to a good decision, or conversely a bad decision, and in this conversation Annie explores why that is. When people ask Annie what she does, how does she like to reply? When Annie works with clients, how do they know they need her? What are the signs? Could it be that some leaders are seeing success but have really poor decision making processes? Is there a robust methodology to categorise decisions, those that require a more robust approach and those that don't?> How do we understand the correct cadence for decision making? What's Annie's favourite question? Work in bets. Would you bet on that? There is a chapter note in the book about Annie's adventures in a Chinese restaurant. The story of probability. Why might I be wrong? The greatest lesson Eric Seidel taught Annie? How did Eric change her identity? Annie's parents held a very high standard, they expected Annie to go to Harvard or Stanford. What was the impact? How luck and skill play their part. How would Annie approach the critical decisions during her divorce differently, knowing what she now knows? Good decision makers don't do what?
