• What can you get from playing baseball that you can’t get from watching it? The answer is the same: It’s an embodied experience. 
• It’s the difference between listening to a podcast from a personal trainer and booking an in-person appointment. There is a world of difference to have someone guide you into what it feels like to be in certain positions and to help you make micro-adjustments. 
• This hands-on approach helps the knowledge actually become a part of you—integrated into your body—rather than something you’ve heard someone talk about.  

• It’s not more effective, it’s effective in a different way. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. 
• There’s a different kind of change that happens when you are able to do this work over five weeks, instead of over four days or a weekend retreat.
• The Great Decisions Course takes place alongside your work, your relationships, and your daily routine. This means that you are able to directly apply what you’re learning to your daily life.
• This will lead you to discover things that you would not discover in the context of a retreat. 

• If you’re not using your skepticism effectively: Skepticism is healthy and an important part of the journey. But if you’re skeptical before running experiments, it will add in a bias that renders the experiment ineffective. Our exercises are most useful when you can keep an open mind, until after the fact. Then, skepticism  is invaluable. 
• If you’re not ready to be sincere: The work we do requires a deep commitment to self-exploration. If you’re unable to join the program from a place of sincerity and openness, this likely won’t be a good use of your money.  (Note: Sincerity does not mean seriousness. Enjoying the process is one of the most effective ways to be in this work.) 
• If you don’t want to embark on an emotionally rich and intense journey of self-discovery: The Great Decisions Course is an intense and immersive experience that is designed to push your boundaries and challenge you to find your edge. While we provide expert care and guidance along the way, this isn’t the right program for everyone.

• We have considered raising the price for the Great Decisions Course since we believe the course’s value is much higher than our price.
• We’ve chosen not to because we want to support folks in all professions. 
• $3,000 is the cost we have decided on that reflects the time and effort of our team, along with the deep care and personalization we provide to every participant — all while keeping it accessible.
• We’ve designed it to have a long tail of learning, because our curriculum revolves around transformation, not around learning just another decision-making framework.
• Finally, we’ve seen time in and time out that the investment you put in is the best indicator of your commitment. And we only want to work with people who are committed to the work.

• This course is an intense and immersive journey. Joe works with our team of highly trained coaches to track each participant’s journey. 
• The level of care and commitment we give to your transformation is why we are only able to run the course once a year.

• There are no formal prerequisites for joining the Great Decisions Course. The only requirement is an openness to explore, engage, and experiment with the principles taught. 
• To get the most out of the program, we encourage you to approach it with intentionality, vulnerability, and a spirit of curiosity and enjoyment. 
• Also, nobody is forcing you to take this course. If a friend or colleague is pressuring you to come and you don’t feel called to it, then you shouldn’t do it.

• Thinking you have a lack of time to do this work is a good indication that this work will have benefits for you.
• The sense that you have a lack of time is often due to over-management, perfectionism, defensiveness, fear, and shame. All of these, and how they affect your decision-making, are addressed in the course.
• Consider this: Many of us have time to consume content, scroll on our phones, and run around in circles at our job, but we don’t have time to work on things that increase our capacity for a lifetime, which no one can take away from us.

• Very. Your solo work is done on your own time, the partner session is scheduled on your own time, and the weekly Q&A with Joe Hudson is recorded if you are unable to attend. 
• The small group session is available at four different time slots. (See Course Schedule). Please reach out if you don’t think any of the times will work for you.

• The Connection Course is designed specifically around relationships with yourself and others, communication, and resolving conflicts.
• Meanwhile, the Great Decisions Course has a deep focus on emotional fluidity and decision-making.
• Master Class helps you see through the seven limiting beliefs that most people have. 
• The content and results of all the courses are different, with only a small overlap when necessary.
