‘It’s Probably Fine’ Without the Guest: Pride Weekend Travel Chaos, Scam Hotels, and Decid:R in Action
Lucy and Jemma (founders of Decider Live) record an episode without their guest, who is pulled into a crisis, and discuss how they prepare differently for speaking and decision-making. They share real-life “probably fine” moments: Lucy recalls teaching the wrong module to students due to last-minute prep, while Jemma describes a London trip disrupted by Pride closures, a desperate search for toilets, and arriving at a Booking.com-linked scam listing where the hotel’s website appeared compromised; she eventually finds alternate accommodation via a hotel chain membership. They also compare approaches to note-taking, travel safety, deposits, and passports in hotels. The episode ends with Lucy explaining how she ran a Decid:R crisis simulation for a Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance Future Leaders program using the CLEAR decision-making model, with participants tackling a sensitive data breach scenario in a hybrid session.
