The Trained Brain : Six Steps Decision Making

The Trained Brain : Six Steps Decision Making

ALL important or big decisions should be made the same way - on paper & from a neutral position. This was raised a few weeks ago by a client who asked me for advice on an effective way to make decisions. What follows are the Trained Brain Six Steps to Effective Decision Making. Follow them to transform your thinking and train your brain to think differently.

1. DEVELOP A WINNING MINDSET BY STRIVING FOR CLARITY: You may have more than one outcome. Write them all down and use emotive language. Be clear and concise.

2. TRANSFORM YOUR THINKING BY GIVING YOURSEF OPTIONS: What are your options? Keep in mind one option is no choice. Two options is really just a dilemma. Strive for three or more options as this gives you a level of choice.

3. DEVELOP MENTAL STRENGTH BY CONSIDERING THE CONSEQUENCES: What are the upsides and the downsides of each of the options you have? Write them down on the same piece of paper.

4. EVALUATE YOUR THINKING: Learn how to evaluate your thinking and weigh up the consequences. To do this you'll need to review the options you've given yourself. Ask these questions:

What outcomes are affected?

How does each upside and downside impact your desired outcome? Does it move you closer or further away from your goal?

What's the chances of the upside/downside occurring? (think this out on a scale of 1 to 10)

What's the emotional benefit/consequence if this were to happen?

5. MAKE IT BETTER: Review the downsides. How could you make them better or eliminate them? Think positive, be proactive and constructive.

6. DECIDE: Based on probable consequences, select the choice one that gives you the best chance of meeting the outcome you wrote down right at the start of the exercise.

Once the decision is made, the person with the Trained Brain will now:-

a. Know the outcome so will take action to reach that desired result.

b. Make sure that action gives the win.

c. Make it happen and DEAL WITH THE RESULT.
