Peter Atwater: Confidence-Driven Decision-Making
Tuesday March 17, 1 PM EST

When
Peter Atwater
turned 45, his son said, “Dad you are halfway to ninety.” Three months later he left a very successful career in financial services to do something different. Tossing aside his academic training in economics and his experience on Wall Street, Peter turned to social psychology and discovered that not only do we act as we feel, but we do so consistently, too.
Today, Peter teaches confidence-driven decision-making in the Economics Department at William & Mary and to honors students at the University of Delaware. Join Peter Atwater for a discussion on confidence-driven decision-making and how it affects your student.
