Confidence: Decision Making

Confidence: Decision Making

Researchers say we make 35,000 "remotely conscious" decisions each day. When it comes to the more significant decisions, how confident are you making them and how do they impact your well-being whether at work or play? What if you could understand what is at the heart of your decisions to reap better outcomes?

Confidence plays a crucial role in our ability to make decisions effectively, and the outcomes of these decisions, in turn, influence our confidence. Understanding this dynamic is key to building resilience and making better choices in personal and professional contexts.

Confident individuals are more likely to:

  • Filter out irrelevant information
  • Focus on what’s important, leading to more efficient decision-making
  • Make decisions quickly and stick with them
  • Take calculated risks because they trust their judgment leading to innovation & growth
  • See challenges as gifts or opportunities
  • View “failures” as knowledge

Whereas those with low confidence may second-guess themselves or delay making decisions, which can lead to missed opportunities or decision fatigue.

As a mentor, leader, and Coach I find that most people build confidence through recognizing their strengths, understanding their value of experience or expertise and how it connects to their ability to empower others. When it comes to making important decisions, they recognize the connection between confidence resulting in "good" outcomes vs. those made with less confidence.

What hinders your confidence?

We all have voices that wreak havoc on our confidence by spotlighting our challenges. In Positive Intelligence we call these Saboteurs because they sabotage your thoughts and undermine your confidence. By understanding and managing these Saboteurs, you can build a stronger, more resilient confidence that empowers better decision-making and enhances personal growth.
