There’s something about spring that feels like a deep exhale after the long, inward pull of winter. The days stretch a little longer, the air carries the scent of new blossoms, and there’s an energy—almost a hum—beneath the surface of everything.

Struggling with a big life or business decision?
How do you choose when every option feels risky and uncertain?
When you are at a crossroad, the fear of making the wrong move can be paralyzing.
You will discover how to break through the fear and move forward in the latest ChangeTalks podcast episode I was delighted to be a guest on. We discussed:
✅ The Regret Minimization and Fear Setting frameworks to help you decide when both options feel scary.
✅ How limiting beliefs (aka head hurricanes) are keeping you stuck — and how to break free.
✅ Why 95% of leaders think they’re self-aware, but only 10% actually are — and how not to live in a bubble.
✅ The hidden costs of conflict avoidance and how to give (and receive) honest feedback, even when people are scared to be honest.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is your roadmap.
