“It seemed like a good idea at the time,” is one of my favorite sayings because I have used it more than I would like to admit. Said in another way, “Good judgment is learned through experience and experience is gained from bad judgment.” You can re-invent the wheel or choose to learn some lessons from others who have made good and bad choices.

Practicing good judgment is a skill that can be developed if you have the right tools. The feedback I regularly receive about this presentation is, “Your lecture made me re-examine the criteria and the process I use when making decisions for myself and the groups I lead. It has given me a whole new approach to my decision-making process.”

This presentation includes:

  • Defining good & poor judgment
  • Identifying your decision-making criteria
  • Detailing the decision-making process (DMP)
  • Reviewing the reactive & proactive DMP through scenarios
  • Things to consider before your next adventure.

 

Presenter Bio:

Wayne Horodowich is a life-long educator, adventurer and author who has taught at colleges and universities for thirty-three years. Even though he spent the first twenty-four years of his life in New York City, he gravitated to and thrived in outdoor environments. He directed the Adventure Programs at the University of California in Santa Barbara for twenty-five years, where he led over 1,000 trips and classes. While directing Adventure Programs, Wayne developed the Leadership Training Program where he trained over 1,000 college students to be adventure guides. Since his so-called retirement, he continues to tour North America doing lectures and teaching a variety of adventure activities.

In 2019 Wayne completed his second book, Practicing Good Judgment – Adventurer’s Guide to Making Critical Decisions, where he reviews the intricacies of making decisions and a chance for the readers to practice their own decision-making process through scenarios.
