The Power of Deciding: How Small Decisions Shape Big Careers
Introduction:
How often have you hesitated over a decision because you were waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect clarity? We all do it, but the truth is, clarity often comes after the decision is made. Small decisions—whether they involve saying yes to a new opportunity, choosing to invest in yourself, or even simply deciding to speak up in a meeting—are the building blocks of a thriving career.
The Impact of Small Decisions:
Every big career milestone starts with a small, often overlooked decision. I’ve seen it countless times in my coaching work: a client chooses to send a bold email, takes a leap into a new role, or decides to show up with more confidence in their work. Those small moments compound over time, opening doors and creating momentum. The key is to trust that no decision is too small to have an impact.
How to Make Empowered Career Decisions:
Trust Your Gut: You don’t need every detail figured out before making a decision. Trust your instincts and take the first step.
Focus on Your Values: Align your decisions with what matters most to you. Purpose-driven decisions lead to more fulfilling outcomes.
Embrace Imperfection: There is no such thing as a perfect decision. Choose to learn and grow with each choice you make.
Conclusion:
Big career moves start with small, intentional decisions. The more you practice making empowered decisions, the easier it becomes to take bold steps that lead to success. Don’t wait for the “right” moment—it’s time to decide and watch your career take off.
