Cheryl Einhorn’s Rose Cafe talk was innovative and informative in that she explained her AREA Method in making decisions. I often struggle in decision making because I worry that the consequences of my decisions would make me regretful. That is why I ask my mother about my concerns and receive advice from her. One of the students at the Rose Cafe event asked Cheryl how he can convince his potential partner to ride on the same boat with him even if he loses his money from a big risk. I thought that was interesting because I would not want to risk something that would jeopardize both my partner and me. Cheryl said that it’s important to think about what the partner feels and ask if the partner is willing to make the same sacrifices. I agree with Cheryl because a relationship involves two people, and the needs of those two people should be compromised so that no person is treated unfairly. Although Cheryl did not tackle that issue using each letter of the acronym, I learned the value and practicality of the AREA Method even when making decisions about relationships.
