Vanilla or Chocolate? What decides inside you

Why do some people make decisions in seconds – while others get stuck over a scoop of ice cream?

The 15 minutes that will change how you see decisions

In the talk

What it is about

  1. Logic does not decide – inner images do. More precisely: the feeling they trigger in your body.

  2. These images are mostly invisible. They often formed in childhood – unconsciously and by chance.

  3. You can change them. Using my own turning points, I show you how to dissolve blocking images and set a new course.

“We do not make decisions with logic – we only justify them with logic afterwards.”

A question to take with you

Which decision is on your mind right now? And what image do you see when you think of it?
