Having dinner with a friend - the CEO of a tech company in Taiwan - Dr. Yen asked her how he could add value and help her team evolve. She replied that assisting them to become better at their decision-making process would add tons of value. As he was working on it, Dr. Yen realized that making better choices wasn't an exclusive problem of tech companies but a human race issue. That was the beginning of a journey that led him to create a framework and write a book about making better choices.
Dr. Timothy Yen is a Psychologist, Life Coach, Author, and Public Speaker. He is also the owner of Timothy Yen, Psy.D. - a professional Psychology Corp dedicated to private practice and coaching.
With his book, Choose Better, Timothy helps people make better-informed decisions, helping them make choices after due diligence, decreasing the chances of regretting some decisions.
