Yo, hey everyone, it's Adrienne here. I hope you are all having a great week. So this week,

I wanted to share a message about my five-step decision-making process. Now, this came about

because I hosted a goal-setting workshop a few weeks ago on Zoom. And in the workshop, I talked about

this decision-making process

and this approach to making decisions by design rather than by default. Now, it resonated with a lot

of people, and there was quite a lot of questions and emails that I received afterwards,

so I thought it would be great to share the decision-making process with the listeners of the podcast

and also to answer some of those questions here as well. So first up, why do I have a decision-making

process and why is it important to have one? And as I mentioned, making decisions by design

rather than default is something that is becoming increasingly important and that I am

becoming more and more aware of in both my personal and my professional life. So often when I speak to

friends or sometimes when I speak to mentees or clients, we'll talk about, you know, when there's a

big decision to be made, whether you feel like it's a,

maybe it's something at work, a career opportunity, or maybe it's a personal life decision

about whether to move to a new city or whether to get married or whether to have children

or what school your children should go to, all of these kind of things. And sometimes people

will say, well, actually, you know, I didn't

really consider all the different options. I didn't think it was a choice. It kind of just

rolled along. You know, I just went to this university and then I got this opportunity to work

there or, you know, someone said that I was good at that and I should do it. So I just, you know,

kind of went with it.

And it's not until sometimes we reflect back.
