Praise for the Decision Focus Course Suite
I am so thankful I took the Decision Focus courses. They were very eye opening and changed my perspective on how I go about making decisions, managing situations, and preventing problems. The courses were interactive and made it easy for you to apply on your own.

Decision Focus gave me the skills and understanding to tackle the important decisions I have every day, and helped me avoid wasting time on distractions. The online courses gave me the right amount of information and used real life case studies that were interesting. Since completing the courses, I’ve found myself referencing the tools multiple times.
