We're thrilled to announce the brilliant Nell McShane Wulfhart will be a Speaker at Rebel Day ⚡️
Nell invented the job of “Decision Coach” way back in 2013. Once a travel writer with a celebrity interview column in The New York Times, she now writes books, makes podcasts, and uses her fixer brain to help people make decisions, big or small.
Her experience has led to a lot of insights about how most people A) aren’t very good at making decisions and B) take way too long to decide everything from what to eat for dinner to whether to change careers or have a baby. She’s obsessed with the idea of helping people get better and faster at deciding, and has more or less unlimited suggestions for how to do this.
Her unique approach to making decisions has been lauded in New York Magazine, Bloomberg, Forbes, NPR, and countless other publications. She’s also the writer and host of her own podcast, The Decision Coach, and her upcoming book, How to Decide in an Hour (Ballantine), will be published in 2027.
Get ready for some tough love, and to learn how to make decisions like a badass! 👊🏻
Have you ever struggled to make a decision (no matter how big or small it is)? 🤓🙋🏻♀️
Last month, we had the pleasure to hear @nellmw , a decision coach, talk about making decision more efficiently with such a positive and inspiring perspective!
Remember that most decisions are reversible, so why take too long to take the jump! Move abroad, paint your kitchen that bright pink color, quit that job that makes you miserable.
💭 The real question is: does it serve your future self? 💭
A special thank you to our newest sponsor @flex_unlimitrust who welcomed us in their beautiful coworking space in Prilly 😍
