It has been estimated that the average adult makes over 30,000 decisions per day. Which is a mind-blowing number. While some of these may be small or boring, the majority of these decisions shape who we are and the impact we have on this world. Given how impactful these decisions are, it’s critical that we get as many of them right as possible. Not only do we need to try to make the right decisions, but we need to make them quickly. So how do we make the right decision at the right time, well, that is what we are going to tackle in this session titled: The Art and Science of Decision Making: How to Make the Right Call at the Right Time. Our expert guest today is Andrew Danielsen, the Chief Business Development Officer for Mayo Clinic.

The three big questions we have for Andy are:

1. What are the key elements needed for us to make a good decision?

2. Why do so many of us struggle to make effective decisions in a timely way?

3. What concrete practices can we adopt to improve both decision quality and timing in work, home, and leadership settings?

Data shows that being more resilient can decrease our stress, improve productivity, decrease burnout, enhance our relationships, and even reduce mortality in some situations. However, when we are in the thick of struggling through life’s challenges, someone just telling us to “be more resilient” may feel more like gas lighting than true inspiration. So, how do we become our most resilient selves when many of us feel like we are already being pushed to the edge? That’s what we hope to answer for you in this session. To help us with this topic, our expert is Dr. Anjali Bhagra who is Medical Director of Enterprise Automation and The Office of Belonging at Mayo Clinic.

The three big questions we plan to tackle with Dr. Bhagra are:

1. What exactly is resiliency, and why does it matter so much for health, happiness, and performance?
2. What is the audience’s struggle: Why do so many of us struggle to be resilient, and how does that impact us personally and professionally?
3. What is the solution: What steps can we take to become our most resilient selves?

Guest: Edward R. Laskowski, M.D., Sports Medicine Physician | Mayo Clinic – Rochester, MN

We all know what exercise is (or at least we think we do). We are familiar with many of it’s benefits such as getting stronger, improving flexibility, and losing weight. However, there are a number of benefits that most of us may not be aware of and don’t commonly think about when it comes to exercise. These benefits are essential knowledge that can be inspiring and motivating for both the beginner just trying to get off the couch to get started and the super fit that is already committed to a fine-tuned routine. In some cases, those benefits are literately life changing. To help us understand why exercise is the best medicine everyone should be taking, our expert is internationally recognized exercise and fitness expert, Dr. Ed Laskowski.

The three big questions we are going to answer with Dr. Laskowski are:

1. How do you define “exercise”, and what types of activities count? 2. What are the “surprise” benefits of exercise that most folks don’t realize? 3. What changes do I need to make in my life in order to start reaping these benefits?
