Identifying all of the options beforehand, is a crucial step to making good decisions.Understanding intuition: If you get a feeling that you should increase the risk, you need to be able to justify your decision to do so, with hard facts.Avoiding overconfidence: Beware the expert opinion; often wrong, but rarely in doubt. We often think that we know more than we do, but we rarely want to admit this.We can reduce our risk with knowledge: The more information we have, the easier it is to pick the best option.Build yourself a buffer: Building in a bigger margin of error can protect us from mistakes, or simply misjudging a situation.Slow down: Slowing down gives us more time to process the information coming at us.Guest Links & ResourcesInstagram: @stathamgrantTed talk on Risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGZu5Lzgv1AThinking in Risk: https://thepowdercloud.com/learn/avalanche-education/thinking-in-risk/Avalanche Canada Ice Climbing Avalanche Atlas: https://www.avalanche.ca/resources/ice-climbing/atlasFollow or SubscribeDon’t forget to follow or share the show!Share & Social Linkshttps://linktr.ee/deliveringadventure
