How do you make important decisions? Do you go by your gut, some sort of defined process, or perhaps a combination of the two? When we're offered an opportunity to participate in something that seems amazing, it’s almost always associated with a cost. That cost is time. Every ‘yes’ is accompanied by even more ‘no’s’.
In today’s episode, we take a look inside a real coaching session that addresses just this scenario. Our client is a physician who wants to develop a decision-making process so that he can derive meaning from his professional life and not take on projects or jobs that on the surface sound intriguing but may end up draining rather than fueling him.
Client Bio: Josh Russell MD is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine and is double board-certified in Palliative Care and Emergency Medicine. Apart from his clinical practice, he is a writer, educator, entrepreneur, and trivia enthusiast.
