"Decision fatigue? Simplicity overcomes complexity every time" - Futurist Jim Carroll
A shoutout to Christa Haberstock for giving me the idea!
----
Each month, I do an email blast to the various speaker bureau folks who have booked me through the years - about 260 people at this point,.
With that being the case, I've come to keep my message - a key way of keeping them up to date - shorter and to the point..
Here's what I sent yesterday. It speaks for itself with powerful guidance that can apply to just about anything.

Decision fatigue is real. Breaking through is what matters!
Let's talk about why clients can't make up their minds in 2025!
Noticed clients taking forever to pick speakers lately? It's not you - it's decision fatigue!
I remember seeing a post somewhere on LinkedIn recently that something like 1.5 million people have either 'speaker' or 'keynote speaker' in their profile - no wonder clients are feeling overwhelmed.
This is making it difficult for them to select a speaker - and this is combined with the decision fatigue they are already facing.
Decision Fatigue? What's that?
In my 30+ years of speaking about leadership and innovation, I've often shared insights with audiences about the issues people have with making decisions. Here's what I know - simply put, our brains get tired after making too many choices. Each decision uses mental energy, and eventually, we run out of gas. When we run out of gas, we do the easiest thing possible - we stop making decisions.
Recent studies highlight just how real this problem is:
One study suggests we spend 50% of our working day making decisions
- We make 100+ significant decisions daily, plus thousands of micro-choices (emails, word choices, etc.)
- Decision quality drops by up to 40% after making multiple back-to-back decisions
- 73% of professionals report postponing important decisions due to mental fatigue
I've also noticed that decision paralysis becomes significantly worse during periods of volatility.
Back in 2002, I identified what was happening in the meetings and events industry as what I called "aggressive indecision" - people simply refusing to commit to anything due to overwhelming uncertainty.
I think that's where we are at right now.
By the time they're looking at your speaker options, they've already made too many decisions that day. Their brain is basically saying, "Not another choice!"
No wonder they ghost you after initially seeming excited!
They make the decision easy by deferring it, avoiding it, and not thinking about it.
Here's how to make it easier for mentally drained clients - make it easy for them to make decisions.

PsyTrance Neural/Aural Pathways
Thirty minutes awake, checking messages, and this track smashes its way into my conscious stream of LC-NA focus... and then, so may it into yours...

What is this LC-NA that i speak of? ... Why does it come up during periods where my mind gravitates towards wanting to hear PsyTrance? There's an old research document that I've been writing over the years, describing "'aural / neuronal data processing' as it relates to sensory response associations within the neuro-endocrine system's programming pathways", and this describes how certain musical response evokes a chemical response deep within the Dopaminergic Pathways of the brain; it's a neurological look into the scientific manner which define how and why we are capable of the "Experience and Feeling of Music".
Intrinsically involved with the aforementioned topic, inescapably so, is the LC...
> The locus coeruleus (/sɪˈruːliəs/)[or locus caeruleus, locus ceruleus], which in Latin means "blue spot", is a nucleus in the pons of the brainstem involved with physiological responses. The LC s the principal site for brain synthesis of norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
> The locus coeruleus and the areas of the body affected by the norepinephrine it produces are described collectively as the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system or LC-NA system.[4] Norepinephrine may also be released directly into the blood from the adrenal medulla.
If you've never had the pleasure (yes, this is sarcasm) of being jabbed in the thigh with one or more EpiPens (epinephrine == adrenaline), well let me tell you that it's a whole hell of a lot of being hit with a truckload of norepinephrine (nor == 'next to'), both of which (adrenaline and noradrenaline == epinephrine and norepinephrine) comprise two of the three Catecholamines .. the third being Dopamine...
ok ok brain, Enough 6am neuroendocrinology ... I have things to attend to over at the Cytochrome P450 medabolic modulator station (CYP450, specifically 3A4 and 2C6 and 2C19 inhibitors) aka "a cabinet in the kitchen where there are mad-scientist/alchemist organic compounds). More on that some other time...
Guten ... Moooorgen... Freitag!
