During a recent interview with rolling out, Varner revealed how split-second decisions can impact the coronavirus.

How would describe your brand?

In my business, I teach professionals how to make split-second decisions. We make 35,000 decisions every day. Only 70 are life-altering. I teach people how to improve those 70 decisions. It changes their life, leadership and how they view the world.

What are some key things that people should know when it comes to making decisions?

The TLC framer, which is “time constraint, lack of information, and critical consequence.” The impact of my business is that I train thought leaders because, at the end of the day, our decisions impact our future. For 25 years, I’ve worked to make split-second decisions as it relates to life and death. In 2014, I was in charge of the Ebola crisis for Washington. D.C. I tweaked that same experience and created a platform to teach leaders how to make split-second decisions.

What should the public know about the coronavirus?

One thing people should know is that it’s not hype. At the end of this, we would have experienced thousands of deaths. But it won’t be split-second decisions that actually save our lives. It will be common decisions that you can make every day. Washing your hands is absolutely key. Coughing into your elbow is also important. We need to slow the rate of transmission, which can slow the number of deaths.
