Ep 59 – 5 Practical Steps to Make a Decision & Mitigate Risk, with Tiffany Kirkwood

Can your decisions pose a serious career risk? Absolutely. Which is why it’s so vital to be thorough and strategic in your decision making

In this episode, Tiffany shares SO much useful, practical advice… you really (really) don’t want to miss it.

Here’s a summary:

• Tiff shares her 5-step approach to help you reach a reasonable and well-thought through decision
• She talks about a career ‘risk’ she took, when moving from Vancouver to France in her early career…
• As well as an example of when she had to pull a multi-million dollar product later in her career
• Tiffany explores how to get over feeling like a failure when things go wrong
• And how to take ownership of your decision once it has been made

Here’s something that stood out for me in today’s episode about making tough decisions to mitigate risk:

“After collecting the facts, data, and other perspectives, you’ve got to believe in yourself that you’re making the right decision and therefore just do it. You’ll always learn something different too.”  (Tiffany Kirkwood, guest on ‘Her Ambitious Career’ Podcast)
