An accompaniment to the book Becoming, the course takes readers through 21 steps to refresh their life choices, considering the context which enriches decisions. Over the course participants gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the tasks to be addressed at each life stage. They become more confident and skilled in making important decisions, with a view to a more mature, productive and harmonious future.
Decision Mastery
We all have a history when we have developed patterns of living and making decisions. Circumstances in which we live can change rapidly and unexpectedly over a lifetime. Inevitably crises arise that give us pause for thought about how we could do better. It is not easy to change. Decision Mastery provides a step-by-step process which puts you in charge of decisions that affect you and your life to achieve more satisfying outcomes. It is a companion to my book Becoming: the ordinary person’s roadmap to life’s big decisions.
21 Clear Steps
The I Decide Decision Mastery program is self-paced in 21 clear steps: you can do it in your own time. The Maturity Model for decision-making is a guide to help you make confident decisions that are good for you, not someone telling you what to do as you weigh up key elements of the Model in truth, expectations and responsibilities.
Practical Choices
Self-reflection is essential to making necessary changes. Each step suggests exercise to help you progress in inner strength to build decision-making muscle towards competence, especially as major life events in young adulthood, becoming a family, midlife and ageing present challenges.
Informed By Context
Always, understanding the context in which decisions are to be made will affect the quality of decisions and whether those decisions will benefit our lives. Truth too is crucial if we are to move forward, yet sometimes the courage to confront truth escapes us. Seeking sound information and having a model on which to base decisions provides the confidence and competence to move forward.
Coping Strategies
Each of us can become rattled by a crisis that appears insurmountable, whether slow-building or sudden. Yet by taking time to reflect on the context, understand our role and responsibility, what we expect/or is expected of us, we gain competence in making decisions and overcoming challenges.
Achieve Success
Becoming a considered, thoughtful decision-maker will bring better life satisfaction, with confidence in whatever you do. You will be a beacon to those around you. You may not be spared life’s troubles, though you will be better placed to manage through them.
