Show Notes
Have you ever found yourself staring down a big decision, maybe making a move, a new job offer, a promotion, or even staying in a role that no longer fits — and thought, “How do I know if this is the right move?”
In this episode, I walk you through four powerful questions I ask myself (and my clients) before making a big personal or professional decision. These questions help cut through the noise, slow down the overthinking spiral, and get you grounded in what you truly want and need.
I will walk you through these questions, applying them to an example from my personal life, and then use a professional example that will likely be familiar to you. This episode will help you become a better decision maker and action taker, providing objective clarity to get you through tough decisions. Being able to make value-aligned decisions, guided by simple questions, will enhance your leadership, save you a ton of decision fatigue and mental energy, and open up space for you to do more of your best work.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
The question I ask that always brings me back to clarity
-
How to assess if a decision is additive or draining
-
Why getting honest about the costs of a yes is just as important as the benefits
-
How to make choices from purpose, not pressure
Whether you’re weighing a big move or a small shift, this episode will help you trust yourself more in the process.
