My Next Maven Class is Live

(And I was selected for Maven 100!)

My next Maven.com decision making class launches September 15th! So excited to be heading into my 8th cohort of students!

The class was recently selected as one of Maven’s Top 100 classes in Leadership. I am so honored to be selected. I have loved every cohort and still meet with the students regularly through an alumni group comprised of students from all seven previous cohorts. I love seeing how they are putting the lessons into action. It is great to stay connected and to see the students stay connected with each other.

As part of being in the top 100, Maven is offering a discount code. Use code maven100 at checkout to get 20% of the enrollment fee.

You'll learn

How to make better decisions.

Every decision is a bet on a forecast of the future. You have limited resources to figure out which prediction will have the best return in the long run. The solution: my 6-step process for better decision making.

What gets in the way of making good decisions.

Why doesn't your gut make great decisions? The answer: cognitive bias. I'll show you how to get to the outside view — what is true of the world independent of your own point of view.

Making effective decisions on a team.

Teams don’t always produce higher-quality decisions — they just have higher confidence. You'll learn how to find out when people disagree and normalize dissent in groups.

Making faster decisions.

There's a time-accuracy trade-off with decisions. I'll teach you my best frameworks for figuring out how fast you can go when making decisions.

What students are saying

What I loved about this course was how a practical analysis of decision making was presented in an approachable manner. Exercises, both individual and group, explicitly demonstrated where my personal bias impacts my decision quality and the impact "luck" has played in past results: the real result being a string of poor decisions with good results misinterpreted as good decisions with the occasional fail. A framework about evaluating when to apply a rigorous decision process was also very actionable. I was shown a new muscle to work which is exactly why I attended.

Ever wondered how to shape the impactful decisions you make in your personal and professional projects? Need to reduce decision bias and see the future more clearly? Worried that you're making decisions based on gut feelings and know there has to be a better way? Well, there is! Annie Duke's "Make Better Decisions" course is a master class in debiasing decisions, clarifying when and how to shift gears, and making better decisions overall. Her process helps build consensus without falling into the trap of groupthink. This course provided invaluable insights and a practical toolset that have significantly improved my decision-making process. It is highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their decision-making skills!

Good decision-making isn’t just intuition—it’s a skill you can sharpen with the right tools and mindset. Annie’s direct style and vivid stories made concepts like expected value, base rates, and point estimates feel clear and practical. The class gave me a clear, consistent framework—grounded in math—for making better decisions under uncertainty. Tools like “monkeys vs. pedestals” and “kill criteria” have already helped me bring structure to tough decisions.

An absolute must for any professional, regardless of rank or industry! Hands down the most valuable course I've taken in my 20+ years career.

Melina Cohort 7

Behavioral scientist

Annie Duke’s decision-making course was one of the most valuable experiences in my career as a project manager. It reshaped how I think about uncertainty, structure decisions, and lead high-stakes discussions. Concepts like decision hygiene, base rates, and how to speed up decision making gave me a solid foundation—skills I’m still developing and applying in practice. The course also made me more aware of overconfidence—both mine and my team’s—and pointed me toward better ways to improve decision quality. I’d recommend it to any PM aiming to make clearer, more consistent choices in complex environments.

I’ve had this lingering sense for a while that there was more to decision-making—both personally and professionally—that I wasn’t fully grasping. I felt that with the right frameworks, I could get clearer on my own choices, communicate them better, and help others do the same. Annie’s course really delivered. Each topic was immediately useful—helping me make sense of past decisions where that uncertainty showed up, and giving me tools for upcoming ones. I’ve even started using one of the key concepts to support friends with their big life choices. I highly recommend it.
