Episode Intro

What number of choices do you reckon you’ve made as we speak?

After we head out into the wild locations we love, or discover ourselves in environments with the next stage of threat, a few of these choices (aware or in any other case) can have some fairly intense penalties.

At this time, I’m joined by Hugh Ward, co-owner of the Blue Mountains Climbing Faculty, to find out about a straightforward instrument that we are able to use day-after-day, to assist us make higher choices, smarter decisions and have higher adventures.

He talks us by way of the established acronym F.A.C.E.T.S, developed by Ian Mcammon, based mostly upon the work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tsversky. It was designed to focus on widespread deficiencies in our choice making (Heuristic Traps) and to supply a instrument to mood the alternatives we make in excessive consequence environments.

Excitingly, he then steps us by way of a NEW acronym,  A.C.C.E.S.S. that he has developed with Climbing Faculty co-owner and spouse, Bridie Campbell, that works higher in Australian out of doors environments.
