Lisa Gable: “Sometimes we doubt ourselves and sometimes we doubt our ability to analyze what's going on around us. It may be how we are working with another individual or it might be how we're perceiving shifts that are going on in our communities. 

The reality is we actually know the answers to our questions, we can trust our instincts, and our decisions. 

I use decision trees. There is a starting point and a path to follow. As long as you have a clear vision, then you will have clarity in making decisions. Each decision leads to another question. If the answer is ‘Yes’ then you follow that path. If the answer is ‘No’, then that leads to another set of questions.

Your gut will tell you the right direction to go.

Type A people have a plan for their lives. That doesn’t mean we have to follow someone else's plan for how they see us fitting into their lives.

The world is changing so rapidly today. It helps to have a vision as to what you want your life to be, the impact that you want to have, and where you see your greatest opportunity. At the same time you get to zig and zag, which means to pivot. We saw that over and over again through COVID. As leaders, we would make decisions and yet something would happen within the supply chain or employees would get sick or money would be short. We were constantly having to pivot, while keeping our eye on what we ultimately wanted to achieve. I believe that applies to life as well.”
