Make Better Decisions with Abby Davisson","description":"Life is made up of billions of tiny decisions. The poor decisions can lead to a lifetime of laughter. Maybe it\u2019s the bad perm you got as a teenager, or the tattoo of a dolphin eating a cheeseburger. Maybe it was the horrible guy you dated in college, or the spontaneous weekend trip that ended in disaster. I, myself, am not a super spontaneous person. I sit somewhere in the middle \u201cmeh\u201d of it all.  I\u2019ve never boarded a plane the same day (or even the same week) to take advantage of a trip deal. I\u2019ve never signed up for a class on a whim. I never even ditched school. I research restaurant menus in advance because I like to know what I\u2019m getting before I\u2019m there. I study the weather in an hour-by-hour breakdown each morning before leaving the house. I could never live a nomadic life\u2013I even cross-reference review sites before booking a hotel. I think the best way to describe me is measured. But even if you are measured like me\u2013that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve honed the skillset of making strategic decisions. Most of us don\u2019t think through big or small decisions with any particular level of strategy, which is why my guest on this week\u2019s episode of Bound + Determined is going to shed light on why we SHOULD be making decisions in a more thoughtful way.  Abby Davisson is the Founder and CEO of the Money and Love Institute and an expert on holistic decision-making. As a former Fortune 200 executive and after two decades of making change from within organizations, she launched her own business, focused on helping leaders make smart choices for lasting success in work and life. Abby\u2019s professional experience includes strategy-focused roles in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, including nearly a decade at Gap Inc., where she served as president of the Gap Foundation and co-founded the company\u2019s employee resource group for working parents. She's also the Co-Author of MONEY, AND LOVE: AN INTELLIGENT ROADMAP FOR LIFE'S BIGGEST DECISIONS, a guide for navigating life\u2019s most consequential and daunting decisions using research-based insights road-tested in a popular Stanford University course.  Abby has immersed herself in endless research that shows us how the decisions we make around love (and otherwise!) have financial consequences. Tune in to learn her framework that can be used for better decisions in love and life!   ","author_name":"Bound & Determined","author_url":"http:\/\/boundanddetermined.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
