Everyone should have an agent. Someone who looks out for your interests and helps you make measured decisions that may contain less emotion. Someone who asks you why now why not in 3 months. Someone who helps you change I, I, I, to we, we, we. If the choices are about equal then that's not usually enough incentive to change from one to the other. If it's truly two new choices then flip a coin, make the decision and move on. Sometimes, just explaining the choices to another person makes the best choice obvious without any help. Huw

I love this! Great approach, Liz Percak Dennett- well done.

Thanks for sharing, Liz! I agree that conquering fear through taking it apart to find its source is incredibly helpful. Great to have this reinforced, as it is easy to forget...

Thanks for a great reminder Liz. Very useful for both personal and professional quandaries! I’ve done the pros and cons list for things ranging from changing jobs within a company, moving companies and even moving countries! But that gut feel is always there to guide. Because I’ve usually found it to be correct... usually! Good reinforcement on rationalizing that fear and realizing that past mistakes or failures have brought great learning. I know that’s true for me. I think something else to remember is that decisions are made with the best information one has at the time the decision was made. Things can change very quickly. Then it’s a question of working on acceptance and being able to respond (rather than react) to that for next steps.

Reminds me of my very first "Ethics" class many years ago. And I always thought I knew what was "Right". Got re-tooled that day.

Thanks for sharing Liz Percak Dennett. I’ve had similar experiences with fear getting in the way while weighing the risks of career choices. As a competitive gymnast in my childhood, the team coach would have us lay on the floor with our eyes closed, in silence. We would visualize our routines over and over again in our minds. Going through every step in detail. When it came time to execute, we were pretty close to flawless. The same holds true for career jumps and decisions; visualize your success and you will achieve your goal. Thanks again! 😀

Thank you for sharing Liz Percak Dennett! Well said about pros and cons 👍

Liz Percak Dennett good video. pros and cons list is definitely my approach. Though I do not throw them in waste basket... I do compare and try to go with route that challenges me and helps me grow.

Excellent video - I really enjoy your energy and willingness to share your experiences for other's to learn as well. I view the 'right answer' as a point in time. Things change and therefore what's right in this moment may not be in the next. Therefore, I tend to add two criteria when evaluating options - alignment with my intent/vision/purpose and future flexibility. The future flexibility is important - some decisions can be undone while others are more permanent.
