“He told me, ‘If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, you don’t ask what seat. You just get on.'”
Sheryl Sandberg, referring to Eric Schmidt
Coaching Tip for the Week:
How good are you at overthinking?
And, to quote Dr. Phil, how’s that working for you?
Doing your homework is important. Personal leadership often requires us, however, to make decisions quickly and confidently. Thinking too long on an opportunity – especially one that lights you up – can lead to that opportunity disappearing while you spin in indecision.
This week, trust yourself. When an opportunity arises – whether a new level of responsibility, a chance to speak up in a meeting, or a seat on a rocket ship – make your decision with confidence.
Then, immediately take an action in favor of your decision. You’ll nip any overthinking tendencies in the bud and your follow-up action will help boost your confidence that you made the right choice.
