Episode Details

"We live in this highly overstimulated world, people are rushing to judgement more than ever, people are feeling unheard, and the reality is, they are unheard, because we can't hear them, because we're too busy, too distracted."

In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to Nuala Walsh, Founder & CEO of MindEquity and author of "Tune In", on the art of decision-making like a ninja, and learning to control your emotions and recognise your biases.
