Phil Winters

We’re all constantly making decisions – what to buy, who to trust, what ideas to believe. And in a world where everyone’s trying to sell something – whether it’s a product, a service, or a story – understanding how people actually make choices has never been more important.
This session takes a practical, real-world look at decision-making from the customer’s point of view. Through relatable examples and interactive discussion, we’ll explore what drives people’s choices, what they really need, and how behaviour plays a bigger role than we might think. Bring your questions – the session is designed to be engaging and hands-on.
