WE ARE ONLY HUMAN!

... which means we do not assess well Risk, Uncertainty and Ignorance when we make decisions (especially around investments - and perhaps regarding whether to start a business). Worried, yet? You should be...

We humans (and our organisations) are biased to:

- moderately avoid risk;

- strongly avoid uncertainty; and

- powerfully avoid ignorance – sometimes to our detriment.

This speaker is hard to find, but NSIN is proud to present a man who speaks to the real nature of financial markets / business decisions and their inherent incentives and emotionally-driven machinations.

Our amazing speaker - Jack Gray (http://www.celebrityspeakers.com.au/jack-gray/)
