The Problem
Decision-making is hard. It's mentally taxing - it's easier to play it safe or not even put yourself out there. But without it, innovation doesn't occur; complacency sets in, and those, who are better trained, outperform you into irrelevance. (When was the last time you went to Blockbuster to rent a movie?)
The good news is that your judgement is trainable and indefinitely upgradeable.
Why Decision Making?
The world has changed. Where there once was clarity, we are now in the midst of ambiguity.
Regardless of your role in a team, everybody needs to navigate problems - everybody needs good judgement.
The foundation of good decision making is giving and getting the truth. It produces high performing teams, where people rapidly share their authentic thoughts - both good and bad.
Forward-looking planning and inspiring others
We are all bad at predicting the future. Even worse, we often over-castrophizing negative future outcome or feeling overly optimistic about the future
Speeding up decision making
Analysis paralysis is often the consequence when we face with multiple decisions in a day, especially those that are of high stake to us.
Making decision in uncertainty
We cannot drive uncertainty to zero, however, we all want minimal risks in all our actions, and hence we are afraid to take risk. Successful risk taking also require understanding 2nd/3rd order consequences and rapid iterations, all of which we are not naturally good at
Fully committing to things that matter
We are often scared of sunk cost and missing out on opportunities. Consequently, we often choose not to make trade-offs and prioritise on what matters vs those that matter less
Where to Start?
PRT is a 13-week program (1hr / week) designed to help teams to reduce behaviors that create silence in teams and organizations with each other – and start being more authentic, especially sharing critical feedback & speaking-up about difficult topics.
Research shows that when people bring their authentic self to work, they perform better. But before focusing outwards on sharing our full thoughts with other (”giving feedback”), PRT trains people to focus inward and DIAL DOWN behaviors that are stopping people from being truthful with us.
Everyone needs basic cognitive training to allow truth to come at them. PRT is tailored to help you discover your truth-preventing behaviors and supercharge your TRUTH SEEKING skills
This training, done as a team, will help you navigate conflict, build more authentic relationships.
Showing up as your “authentic” self is the baseline to building meaningful relationships at work... People with a robust social network have better job performance, feel more fulfilled, and even live longer.

The Key Idea of Pre-Resiliency Training
Counterintuitively, the best way to increase the amount of truthful communication between peers is NOT to focus on feedback giving skills, but instead to train people to DIAL-DOWN behaviors that stop others from giving truthful feedback. Simple stated, PRT upgrades team decision making by dial-downing behaviors that create silence.
Red arrow behaviors (RABs) are signals that we send to those around us, that tell others: "I don’t want to hear what you truly think." In many of these cases, the signals are very subtle, and require an almost confrontational person to overcome. Without feedback from others, we are stuck in our own Echo Chamber of Silence. This Echo Chamber of Silence crushes our sense-making and hinders us from making the best decisions
Here are common examples of Red Arrow Behaviors, but each person has their own unique RABs.
Havard Business Review October 19, 2018
Within your team, build up trust and a safe zone to share truth and candid feedback
"The people I get to share my RABs, struggles, and tears with help me be a better person. They hold me accountable, support me, and (most importantly) they care about me as a person."

"Basically, what I've personally experienced and what I've seen in my PRT groups is that participants develop a more growth-oriented mindset. This mindset upgrades sense and decision-making in every aspect of participants' lives. The highest praise I have for PRT is that my wife says I'm a better husband and father when I'm in a PRT group."
"Technical problems are solved faster because PRT has made my team less conscious of 'being right' and more conscious of the team 'getting to the answer' fastest."
Consistent ritual of small group training creates strong bonds between people, preventing isolation and burnout both in-person and remote.
"Attending PRT over the past 90 weeks has taken me in the opposite direction... feel MORE connected, LESS isolated, and yes, ALL of our schedules are crammed, but creating/making time to be together with you has been the smartest decision I've made in the last two years."
Roadmap to Upgrade Decision Making
Good decision maker know when, where and how to take risk well to be able to make significant progress in their work and life. Risk taking is NOT being reckless or trying to be lucky. In other word, there is a formula to taking risk effectively.
Hundreds of people have gone through our training programs on their journey to become better decision makers – here is a glimpse into their journeys
