Do you make decisions easily? If you’re like most people, the answer is “it depends.” Will you decide to brush your teeth today? Where will you go for dinner with your family? When is it time to make a career change? Life is a series of decisions, and the impacts of those decisions vary widely. 

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about:

• What I observe from individuals around the world around decision making
• The attributes of a well-made decision, including when to get guidance from others
• The ways you can support your decision making process, including dealing with sadness for the road not traveled
