The Crucial Moment: Decision-Making Under Pressure
Most leaders can tell you exactly what their priorities are. The problem isn't knowing them, it's that under pressure, the urgent always finds a way to beat out the important.
In this keynote, Rebecca Olson reframes decision-making under pressure as a learnable performance skill and introduces the P.I.V.O.T Protocol - her signature five-step framework for interrupting reactive patterns and making intentional, values-aligned decisions in real time.
Drawing from her work helping high-performing leaders navigate high-stakes decisions, Rebecca shows how the gap between reactive and intentional leadership often comes down not to character or capability, but to whether a leader has a system for those crucial moments when one decision shapes outcomes from an entire team.
Audiences leave with the P.I.V.O.T. Protocol in hand - a practical, immediately implementable framework that can be used before they even leave the event.
