Hey everybody, welcome back to the one thing podcast. I'm Chris Dixon. I bet you've been

in a position to make a big decision or you've been in really high stakes meeting or in

a stressful scenario and found yourself on the other side of that experience asking yourself

for wishing that you had made a different decision or that you would communicate a little

bit differently or you showed up different as a leader in that moment. Today I spoke with

David Noble and Carol Kaufman on the podcast and they share what are our limits when we're

using or leveraging just instinct and responding in a high stress scenario. They talk about

how important it is to approach these situations with the system or a model to set you up for
