Back to EpisodesLeadership Shift #180 - 99% of the Time You Know Exactly What to Do
Description
You know more than you think you do.
Sometimes “I don’t know what to do” isn’t confusion - it’s discomfort with what you already know you need to do. The conversation, the boundary, the difficult feedback, the career move, or the decision that feels risky.
In this episode, I'm diving in to discuss:
- Why 99% of the time you already know the right next step—and how fear, self-doubt, and the desire for certainty can convince you to ignore it.
- How high-performing women talk themselves out of what they know is right, then overthink, spin, and outsource their decisions to other people for validation.
- The leadership shift from asking “What should I do?” to “If I truly trusted myself, what would I do next?”—and how acting on that answer builds the self-trust required to rise and thrive in senior leadership.
