In the last Get Better Friday I talked about trusting your instincts before making a big decision. Solely using data isn’t the always the best answer to decision making. Ultimately, you need to be happy with your decision and the way to do that is to listen to your instincts. In that post I discussed two ways you could guage your instincts. Flip a coin, imagine the coin is a person you trust and the outcome is their answer. Interview your future self. But, in order to have these discussions with your inner monologue, you need to give yourself space. Real quiet time. Time away from distractions, notifications and interruptions. In this Leadership in Marketing insight I issue you a challenge. Sometime this week, get away from your desk, your laptop and your phone, and have a moment to just be with your thoughts. No music, no podcast, nothing. Just you and your brain. Then, start asking yourself questions. I’d love to hear how this went for you. Contact me or leave a note. What was it like? What did you talk to yourself about? How could you do this on a routine basis? Let’s chat! This is part of my Get better Friday, all about being a better leader. Each piece is about me describing what I’ve been practicing to help me become a better leader and coach for my team, my career and my personal life.
