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.

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.

Would love to hear from you on this topic!
