Hey, Jordan Harbinger here. Welcome to Mini-Sode Monday. Happy to be here with you kicking off the

week with something quick and actionable that you can implement right away. It'll make you more

magnetic and it'll make you more effective. Today, Jenny Blake, get unstuck. How to separate

difficult decisions from difficult conversations. And now we can handle both of these so that we can

move forward. All right, here's Jenny. A lot of people come to me when they're at a pivot point

which is responding to their reaction and any ensuing consequences or follow up. Sometimes

having the conversation, if you can think about a breakup or leaving a job that's like there's

an earthquake and sometimes they're aftershocks. So if you can, instead of just saying when you're at

a pivot point, I don't know. See if you separate out having to tell anyone about your decision if

you're any clearer on what it is for you. So if I said to you, if I gave you the permission and said,

what do you really want? And even when you know what it is, you don't have to do anything about it.

You don't have to tell anyone. You don't have to take any action. But if you,
