Description

Welcome to our 9th episode of Elevate with Grace.  In this episode we are rounding out our first smart risk taking series with an excellent book from Emma Isaacs', Winging It!  https://www.emmaisaacs.com/

As the title suggests Emma has some great tips on taking a chance on yourself, trusting your gut and winging it.  The sub-heading on her book - Stop thinking, Start Doing.  Why Action beats planning every time - gives you a hint.  There is a lot of rich content within this book that Claire and Miranda discuss from:

• Gut versus decision tool situations
  • "When you know you know, and when you don't you decide"
• Tips & Hacks to make more time... meetings are at the top of Emma's list, also some wonderful honesty around outsourcing & not doing it all!
  • If its not a hell yes, its a no (linking back to episode 5 - The one thing Emma talks to the need to say no far more than you say yes)
• Team Decision Making 
  • Avoiding sunk cost bias & Zoom think
• Networking - to help build lasting relationships
• An encouragement to take action
  • "Seize the Day, Today"
• Kindness and Fun always

ELEVATEE CHALLENGE
1. Let's foster some kindness.  A thank you note, flowers, coffee with a friend and just remember what it's like to be together again.
2. For our real decision making action challenge. Over the past few weeks you have done the work to analyse a key decision, checked any biases, used 1 or more tools to interrogate the options.  So you're 70 or 80% comfortable with decision. This is the week let Emma Isaacs inspire you to to take the decision on and just leap. Let's see what happens.
