TRANSCRIPT

 

Well, hello there, my friend. Thank you for joining me for another episode of the Coach with Clarity podcast. My name is Lee Chaix McDonough and today's topic is a juicy one. 

Personally, I think it's important for everyone, but it's especially important for coaches because it's at the heart of the work that we do with our clients. The subject we're gonna dive into today is making decisions. I'm going to walk you through my six-part framework that I use with my clients and in my own life, to help me make decisions that are grounded in my inner wisdom and aligned with whatever is going on in my day to day life and the world around me.
