We are living through a time in which economic, diplomatic and environmental crises are coalescing to create huge challenges. Because of this, our confidence and ability to make decisions may feel compromised, the right path forwards may not be clear.
In this empowering masterclass, the life and leadership coach Fiona Buckland brings together the knowledge and experience from her career – and her book, Find Your Own Path – to provide a framework for making lasting decisions that are right for you. Far from being yet more overwhelming advice, this class does away with the concept of ‘the perfect decision’, and invites you to face head-on the constant fear of regret – and then challenge it.
You will learn about the science behind decision-making, which isn’t solely a brain-led process – but also involves a blend of emotion and intuition, which when aligned with reason propels us into action. You will be guided through fun, powerful exercises that will move you past the perils of analysis-paralysis and perfectionism, and towards a greater sense of clarity, ready to take the next steps forward in your life.
