You got IQ. What about JQ? Exercising Judgment in the Heat of the Moment

Leaders need to exercise wise and sound judgment during challenging times—this can be made exponentially harder when underestimating the influence of hidden forces that can impact our choices. Every single day we have a mind-boggling number of opportunities to demonstrate our power to choose. However, in these moments we are not always exercising our judgment effectively or consciously. This keynote highlights the importance of being strategic and not reacting hastily to crisis without considering the broader landscape and long-term consequences of our actions.

This keynote/vnote will help you:
- Stay hyper-focused while keeping an eye on the big picture
- Avoid analysis paralysis and take action
- Integrate perspectives to avoid blind spots
- Be less impulsive and more conscious

Being Consciously Effective: A Practical Crisis Response Regimen

Economic pressures, fierce competition, and a global pandemic have heightened the need to respond quickly leading to hasty ill-conceived decisions with devastating long-term consequences.

In this talk, Krishna provides the space to reflect and reach the highest level of decision-making where you can integrate instinct, intellect, insight, and intuition to operate in “the zone.” He will also share his Crisis Response Regimen that can be applied to any challenging situation.

Takeaways:
- Managing your attention and tunnel-vision
- Ways to address and avoid burnout
- Overcoming incessant thinking to give your mind a break
- Manage impulsivity and develop a conscious response

Make Foresight 20/20: Improve your JQ

In this interactive keynote, Krishna deconstructs one of life's most overlooked and vital skills: the ability to exercise conscious judgment and make values-based choices at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

You will learn how:
- Small choices have a much larger impact on your life
- Smart people make dumb choices
