Whether you are decid­ing between col­leges nav­i­gat­ing a career deci­sion help­ing your aging par­ents find the right hous­ing or expand­ing your busi­ness Prob­lem Solved will show you how to use the pow­er­ful AREA Method to make com­plex per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al deci­sions with con­fi­dence and con­vic­tion. Cheryl’s AREA Method coach­es you to make smarter bet­ter deci­sions because it: * Rec­og­nizes that research is a fun­da­men­tal part of deci­sion mak­ing and breaks down the process into a series of easy-to-fol­low steps. * Solves for prob­lem­at­ic men­tal short­cuts such as bias judg­ment and assump­tions. * Builds in strate­gic stops that help you chunk your learn­ing stay focused and make your work work for you. * Pro­vides a flex­i­ble and repeat­able process that acts as a feed­back loop. Life is filled with uncer­tain­ty but that uncer­tain­ty needn’t hob­ble us.
