One colleague is comfortable in a job; well maybe too comfortable and has been presented with multiple opportunities outside of their comfort zone. (What to do?)

One colleague is faced with multiple crisis; delays, financial, resources, yet continue to operate in the same way; is now a good time to consider a change? (What to do?)

Many colleagues I know have hung a shingle after leaving (or kicked out of) the nest and are doubting their ability to create sustainable value on their own. (What to do?)

These stories come across my doorstep all the time and I think I can impart a few thoughts to consider when faced with such opportunities or challenges.

Questions to Ask Yourself When You Can’t Make a Decision:

• If my friend were in the same situation what would I advise them to do?
• If there were no consequences to my decision, what would I change?
• Do I have the ability to choose my own destiny?
• What if money, resources or time were not a barrier, what decision would I make?
• If my time was short on this earth, what would be the best decision to make?

For a moment, you might dream of possibilities only if you could release yourself from real or artificial barriers; but usually you don’t take action.

Could the reason for not being able to change your situation is you can’t separate yourself from the situation and your own mindset?

I know about this, I’m you going through these same changes as we speak.

However, I have a gift to be able to listen to you deeply. I am able to ask questions such as the ones above and qualify what is holding you back and what you might want to change.

You’re not broken, but you are human who is faced with sometimes difficult decisions.

Can you do it alone?

I sure hope you can by going through some of the questions above.

If you can’t move forward alone, let me move with you.

I have a few offers for leaders wherever they’re at in their journey and at the level of support needed.

I’m here for you.

Reach out to me on my website to learn more about my support and how to contact me.

Until then, I wish you a good decision making day and know you’ve got this!
