Description

Key Takeaways:

• Trusting your intuition is key to becoming a confident decision-maker. Intuition, unlike instinct (which is fear-based) or intellect (which is data-driven), comes from experience and deep knowing.
• Fear of failure, perfectionism, and external validation often hold people back from making strong decisions. Recognizing these barriers is the first step to overcoming them.
• Confident decision-making requires releasing attachment to the outcome. The more you focus on being true to your values instead of pleasing others, the stronger your leadership becomes.
• Developing a confidence ritual—such as deep breathing, visualization, or grounding exercises—can help you step into your power before making important decisions.
• Your intuition is a muscle. The more you practice listening to it and trusting it, the more powerful and effective your decision-making will be.

"You have to trust your ideas. You have to trust your thoughts. You have to trust yourself before other people will trust you."

"I can tell when somebody pops on the screen in my Zoom within three seconds if I want to work with that person or not, I just know..."

"Confident decisions stem from a light of an alignment with your personal and your organizational values."
