Listen "Decisions: Yes AND No"
Episode Synopsis
Decisions are how we move forward and generate momentum in our lives and work. We decide, we move forward, we learn . . . lather, rinse, repeat.
Over the next few episodes, we’re going to talk about decisions — what they are, how to make them at the right pace, and what makes a decision good.
We’re starting with the idea of full decision-making. Or, acknowledging and understanding that every decision we make has a no that corresponds to its yes. And vice versa. So often, we make decisions for something without considering the cost. Or make a decision against something, without considering its benefits.
Today, we’ll talk about this — about tradeoffs, and giving ourselves enough time to understand them before committing to a decision.
Thanks for listening.
