AI changed your industry. Then it changed again. And it will change next year too. You can't predict the future — but you can build a system that keeps you calm, clear, and confident no matter what comes next.This is the finale. Episode 6 of our Decisive series brings together everything from the past five episodes into one complete decision making system you can use for every major professional choice — for the rest of your career.Drawing from Chip Heath and Dan Heath's Decisive, we walk through the full WRAP framework in real time using one scenario thousands of global professionals are navigating right now: a new AI leadership role, a possible relocation, two weeks to decide, and a lot riding on getting it right. You'll see exactly how to make better choices in life and work by applying all four steps — widening your options, reality-testing your assumptions, attaining emotional distance, and preparing to be wrong — to a single, high-stakes decision.Plus: three rules for turning WRAP into a decision system that becomes instinct, not just a checklist. Whether you're in Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur, Buenos Aires, or Berlin — if you want a reliable thinking process for the age of AI, this is it.📖 The Decisive series finale.
