Make the call - using decisions to build momentum

We are faced with hundreds of decisions every day, and take most of them for granted because they are automatic.

But every once in a while we get hung up on a small decision. This may not seem like such a big deal, but it is. Dragging your feet on small decisions is distracting you and stopping you from making moves on the important things in your life.

In this episode, I discuss the 3 phases of effective decision-making, how great leaders make decisions, and a process for overcoming common obstacles women face when making decisions.

Show highlights include:

  • Why agonizing over insignificant decisions can be putting your entire life on hold without you even realizing it (4:10)
  • The highly effective leaders secret for making consistently good decisions without relying on luck (6:19)
  • How the best leaders make use of “re-do loops” to get the outcome they want from decisions (and how you can do the same) (12:17)
  • 3 reasons women hesitate to make the decisions they know they need to (14:50)
  • Why making a decision is not the end of the process and how to adjust for a bad decision (18:13)
