What is Decision DynamiX™?

Decision DynamiX™ is a groundbreaking framework born from doctoral-level research on how emotional intelligence shapes decision-making — especially during times of crisis, stress, and uncertainty.

Through years of doctoral research, Shari Strong identified 7 core mindsets that determine how we approach every decision: Fear, Denial, Acceptance, Motivations, Confidence, Team, and Grace.

Whether you're a corporate executive, healthcare leader, or team manager, knowing your decision mindset can transform your leadership — same day.
