Who plans to teach Decision Science???
Marcey Walsh
At the age of seven I learned a basic human pattern that most don’t people learn until their 40’s or 50’s.
I learned that parents die.
Though I didn’t realize it, October 18, 1961 began my career in reality training. Someone else’s decision set my feet on the path to helping people deal with life as it is, not as they wish it could be.
On that day, a drunk driver plowed into a green Chevy sedan and life in my family changed forever. When my mother was killed, my father was left alone to care for a seven year old – me – and a mentally handicapped twelve year old, my sister. Since then, the long-term implications of OPD (Other Peoples Decisions) changed my life and has impacted the lives of thousands.
Over the years, I’ve become regarded as a national expert on kinesthetic presentations that make complex concepts easy to understand and to communicate. I’ve trained thousands of teachers to present in a way that can reach all of their learners. Their presentations hook into so many of their students’ mental loops that their messages are clear and easy to remember.
But, as I watched the headlines of families being destroyed by disastrous decisions, there was always a nagging feeling that more important lessons were being overlooked. Most of the stories could have been headlined… “SHORT-TERM DECISION GOES WRONG!”
As the new field called decision science developed, I refocused my methods to help the health and wellness industry communicate vital information and create behavior change in their work with obesity, diabetes and chronic diseases. Therapists and counselors use our interactive decision support tools with clients struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.
I trained dietitians and health care professionals to work with diabetics at universities in the Tampa area and developed ‘A Different Way of Seeing’ modules and Certification Program with Dr. Diane Longstreet.
Decision Support Specialist, Marcey Walsh
Our tag-line is “Before it’s too late,” and we specialize in teaching professionals how to engage and support clients who are in the process of making Big *ss Decisions.
Financial advisors and medical clinicians report greater compliance and longer client retention when they use the
’10 Minute Turn-Around’ to facilitate a client shift to a long-term thinking mode.
As an advisor in Detroit, MI said, “This will apply to every part of my client’s life. Heck, it will apply to every part of MY life!”
We always knew that this work would change a generation. Each financial advisor, counselor and health care professional teaches hundreds of families and, gratefully, we are watching that dream come true.
Training modules range from one hour interactive keynotes to full-day and multi-day on-site experiences. Highly interactive webinars are also available for geographically dispersed teams. Contact us to secure a date for your event.
My thanks to each and every one of you who help students and families live healthier and more financially stable lives. You make a difference!
