Most bad decisions in high-risk environments aren’t made by beginners.
They’re made by experienced people under pressure.
Stress narrows perception, reinforces assumptions, and quietly distorts judgement. When this happens, decisions feel confident — even when they’re wrong.
This awareness card exists to help you recognise those moments early, reset your thinking, and make deliberate decisions when it matters most.
Inside the Decision Bias Awareness Card:
• The 7 most common decision biases seen in high-risk environments
• Why experience can increase risk instead of reducing it
• Simple reset questions to challenge faulty assumptions
• A short Awareness Reset Protocol you can use under stress
• A calm, professional framework for slowing decisions without losing control
This is not psychology theory.
It’s a practical field reference.
Â
Decision failures rarely come from a lack of knowledge.
They come from:
-
Stress
-
Time pressure
-
Familiarity
-
Unchallenged assumptions
This card is designed for people who operate, lead, or make decisions in environments where mistakes have real consequences.
