SDP London Chapter Webinar
The Psychology of Decision Making


Featuring: Geoff Trickey & Elliot Phillips


📅 Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2026
⏰ Time: 4:00–5:00 PM BST
💻 Location: Online via Zoom

This webinar explored a fundamental question in leadership and decision-making: when faced with the same risk, why do equally experienced leaders make very different decisions?

Decision-making is an essential part of life, shaped by a complex balance of instinct, intuition, experience, and analysis. These differences influence how individuals perceive uncertainty, assess threats, and determine when to act. At the center of this discussion was the concept of Risk Type — the personal psychology that shapes each individual’s approach to decision-making.

In this engaging session, Geoff Trickey, CEO, and Elliot Phillips, Principal Risk Psychologist, examined how psychological differences influence executive judgement, leadership dynamics, and the quality of strategic decisions.

Through interactive polls, practical exercises, and discussion, participants gained deeper insight into their own approach to risk and explored how different risk mindsets can impact leadership teams — both in terms of challenges and opportunities.

Key discussion points included:

  • Understanding the personal psychology behind decision-making
  • Recognizing how leaders experience and respond to risk differently
  • Exploring how awareness of Risk Type can improve collaboration and decision quality


This session highlighted an important takeaway: when it comes to high-stakes decisions, the psychology behind the decision-making can matter just as much as the processes that guide it.
