Small, intentional changes in our thinking compound into dramatic transformations in judgment and decision-making

We all have untapped reservoirs of extraordinary thinking potential that can transform our decision-making, problem solving, mental well-being, and our lives. We ony need to uncover their pathways.

I study the quality of thinking—how well our minds serve us when the stakes are high—focusing on professionals like leaders, auditors, and others whose decisions shape society. My work explores strategies that enhance thinking, uncovering abilities we never realized we had. Drawing from neurological recovery therapies, extreme mental resilience forged through profound adversity, and innovative approaches in autism, stroke, and traumatic brain injury recovery, I adapt these insights to improve thinking and decision-making across government, industry, and everyday life. By harnessing the brain’s remarkable adaptability, these strategies unlock breakthroughs in decision-making, elevate thinking quality, and enhance mental agility.

I’ve had the privilege of working and performing experiments directly with thousands of decision-makers and front-line professionals across diverse fields—individuals responsible for high-impact decisions that shape society. These include leaders of critical operations, innovators in healthcare and education, and pioneers pushing the boundaries of human performance. This real-world collaboration, far beyond the confines of the laboratory, has provided an invaluable opportunity to test and refine these strategies.

The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your work...and life

Tiny shifts in your thinking—slivers of refinement—compound over time, transforming how you think and the results you achieve in work and life
