53: 🔮decision tool | success either way

April 18, 2024 12:00 - 20 minutes - 14.9 MB

The tool I share in this week’s podcast is THE TOOL that made it crystal clear that I was leaving Medicine.   Here’s the thing: decisions are only hard when we tell ourselves that all options are dangerous.   As long as you think all options are dangerous, of course, you’ll feel paralyzed with no good options. Of course. And this will have you stuck in indecision, which is a decision but it’s one that keeps you stuck.   Here’s your tool: make all options safe FIRST. You’ll be happy e...

Today we talk what to do when you have something you WANT to do and also you find yourself NOT doing it.   In the past, Medicine may have taught you to grind it out anyway: “just stop whining and force yourself to do it.”   Your coach may have offered “but you can do hard things!”, “discomfort is the currency of your dreams,” or “just put fear in the backseat and drive.”   And all of this can get AMAZING results.

My brain recently surprised me.  A former colleague asked to interview me about my career pivot from academic medicine to full-time life coaching. He wanted to understand how I made this decision. He was concerned some people would harshly judge my decision.
