REGISTRATION CLOSED – The Path of Least Regret: How to Decide in the Face of Uncertainty

Mon, 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM Virtual
General PublicOther

Description

Uncertainty doesn’t just slow decisions—it drains energy, confidence, and momentum. In this virtual fireside chat, Parul Somani (MBA ’09)—author of The Path of Least Regret—shares a practical framework for making clear, values-aligned choices when there’s no guaranteed outcome, so you can stop second-guessing and move forward with conviction.
    
Uncertainty is a constant—market shifts, organizational change, leadership transitions, family demands, and personal inflection points. Yet many of the decisions that shape our careers and lives come with incomplete information and no guaranteed outcome, making it easy to fall into analysis paralysis or regret-driven avoidance. 
  
In this virtual fireside chat moderated by Marc-Kwesi Farrell (MBA ’10), speaker Parul Somani (MBA ’09)—author of The Path of Least Regret—shares a practical framework grounded in behavioral science and real-world stories, to help you clarify what matters most, navigate tradeoffs, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and peace of mind. The discussion will include audience Q&A.
