less private jet use this year what an achievement. what i was only fourteen percent will i was thinking maybe you will these executives are getting into jet sharing well maybe they are you know there's the sharing economy is such an important thing but i just couldn't imagine that now the boys' club in the air that that's how that works maybe not the goals maybe not the girls no anyway whatever is happening here in davos world leaders and bosses are trying to get their message through let's see if they get it through if they get it through. to. the world economic forum which brings together people with very diverse backgrounds and missions one of them is maria klawe the bestselling book turned poker champion she says if only everyone played poker the will be a much better place many. met up with. i'm about to meet maria conic of a best selling author turned poker champion and i want to know what

a poker novice like me can learn from a game in business and in life i ever really know he was not into poker i just never played college never had any desire to get a bill or to do anything like that but i became very interested in the nature of. that's why maria conic of us started playing poker two years ago to do research for a new book but she quickly started winning high stakes tournaments and got so good that she even took a break in writing to this you hope a korea. think poker is one of the best tools for feel like decision making skills you have to be so conscious of your emotional reactions because they're going to your decision making and they're going to make you make a perfect decisions to poker has actually. made me better able. to say you know i've played my best way to play it let me focus on really controlling what i can

try bluffing can also be very important in business knowing. you are. going to get the person as to when they're coming. down. if you don't have a very evidence of that although the race in your car is a show you just need to correct possible strategy just to look for and we come to believe that the world would be a much better place to look at it if it's going to make you a happier person with a better life. i could need a lesson in a lot of what you mention maybe i should start learning poker to. billionaire investor george soros had some strong words for the chinese president calling jinping the most dangerous enemy of free societies speaking at an event on the sidelines of the world economic forum said china social credit system would
