My next Maven.com decision making class launches January 12th, the perfect way to start the new year! If you want to improve your ability to make decisions under uncertainty, improve your forecasting ability, improve your decision processes (both group and individual), and improve your ability to know when to stop things that aren’t working for you, this class is for you.

The class was recently selected as one of Maven’s Top 100 classes in Leadership. I am so honored to be selected. I have loved every cohort and still meet with the students regularly through an alumni group comprised of students from all eight previous cohorts. I love seeing how they are putting the lessons into action. It is great to stay connected and to see the students stay connected with each other.

What students from my last cohort are saying

If you think you’re already ‘pretty good’ at making decisions — as I did — you are precisely the type that would benefit the most from this course. Annie will walk you through the different biases present in all of us, and the danger of only taking the ‘inside view,’ which causes pretty much everyone to have an inflated sense of their logic and decision-making. My only regret is that I did not take this course earlier in my life.

Everyone should take this class with Annie Duke. It will help you make better decisions in all aspects of your life – both professionally and personally. Applying her lessons on how you think about the world and ultimately make decisions is transformational. Annie is a great teacher who is super smart and curious…while being relatable and approachable. She is committed to ensuring her students gain skills and apply them in real life.

Justin, Cohort 8, SVP, Human Resources – Talent Acquisition · Burlington Stores

Hands down the best course I’ve taken on Maven — absolutely mind-blowing. Annie brings an incredible blend of science, structure, and storytelling to decision-making. The frameworks are deeply practical and immediately usable in real life. The interactive exercises and examples made the sessions engaging and fun. At times I found myself thinking, “I should have known this already,” but that realization was exactly why the course was so valuable — it made me more aware of how I actually make decisions and how I should be making them. This course doesn’t just change how you decide — it changes how you think about deciding.

Raj, Cohort 8, SVP, DW & BI · Global Lending Services

This course is a 10 out of 10! It delivers powerful, practical frameworks that completely reframe how you think about persistence, quitting, and decision-making. The lessons are immediately applicable—especially during times of transition or high-stakes leadership. I left each class with tools I can use immediately in both personal and professional contexts, and I’ve already recommended it to colleagues.

Kirsten, Cohort 8, ND State Superintendent of Schools · ND Department of Public Instruction

This is honestly the best and most mind-blowing class I have ever taken. It will be a bit before I will be able to digest all that this class will assist me with. Highly recommended EVERYONE take this class.

Robert, Cohort 8, Cybersecurity Consultant · Cap Gemini

Annie Duke serves everyone with her availability, style, and experiences. She blends playfulness and professionalism in a unique way, keeping your attention on the material that is applicable for the most weighty to everyday decisions.

Craig, Cohort 8, Principal-Private Client Services · CLA

Annie is brilliant, presenting ideas and addressing questions. The course platform Maven is excellent to be engaged and learn as a group. Highly recommend this course.

Elena, Cohort 8, Private Equity Coach · The PE Collective

Absolutely fabulous course. Not only is Annie’s framework of thinking tools so valuable, but she is also a gifted teacher who keeps everyone engaged and ensures we’re able to actually use the tools in the real world.

Elisabeth, Cohort 8, Founder / CEO · Curious Duck Digital Laboratory, LLC

Annie is incredible. The course focused on immediately applicable frameworks that I’m already incorporating into my day to day decisions.
