During a film review on NPR, the reviewer applauded the film’s brilliant and creative use of its underlying formula.

“Underlying formula”? I have to admit my first reaction was skeptical. How brilliant and creative could it be if it followed a formula? Sounds like a “brilliant” copy of other films.

Then I thought a bit about what that underlying formula might actually look like:

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Life gets in the way.

OK, now they’ve got us on the edge of our seats, dying to know if the boy and girl can overcome the obstacles and live happily ever after. Not only does this formula work, it has worked for centuries. From Romeo to Juno and The Newsroom.

With more thought, I realized that I’ve triggered that same skeptical reaction in others. It happens quite often when I talk about the formula that helps people make better decisions faster!

How could complex, important decisions be improved by following a simple formula? Aren’t we all too sophisticated for simple devices like that?

Nope! When my clients “SOAR through decisions,” they not only make better decisions faster, they also feel more confident and generate greater commitment. This may be a simple formula, but I guarantee it is as effective as boy-meets-girl!
