#40: 5 Sure-Fire Ways To Make The Right Decision
Are you weighing up a big career decision?
You’re wide awake in the middle of the night, trying to figure out WHAT you want next or HOW to reach the next stage in your career. Or you’re wondering whether to stay -- or go -- in your current role or career path.
Whatever your situation, finding yourself at a career crossroads can be challenging. You feel pressure to make a decision -- and quickly. Then end up going round and round in circles out of fear of making the ‘wrong’ choice.
So today, I’m talking about how to get unstuck and make the right career decisions.
Decision-making is a complex topic, especially when it involves big, life-changing decisions related to your career. And everyone has a different approach.
I’m fairly risk averse and think it’s important to have a clear strategy. Still, pondering a decision for days or weeks on end makes me uncomfortable. I tend to make choices quickly and act on them immediately!
Others close to me prefer to think through their choices carefully, researching and analysing every possibility before committing. Some find it difficult to make a decision at all. And at times, waiting too long can cost them an opportunity.
I believe there’s no such thing as a ‘wrong’ career decision -- but there are practical steps you can take to make the right choice for you.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 ways to find clarity and make the right career decisions, every time.
You'll learn:
- The first step to take when you’re overwhelmed, which helped one client move from weeks of indecision to complete clarity within days
- How to stop making decisions based on what you think you ‘should’ do and start choosing what matters to YOU
- A practical strategy to reduce risk with big career decisions -- without getting stuck in fear, self-doubt or overthinking
- Why relying on logic alone keeps you second-guessing and a surprising way to navigate major professional decisions with ease
- The reason staying stuck is the bigger risk -- and a simple reframe which means you’ll never make the ‘wrong’ career choice
So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!
