Episode Highlights:

[04:19] Support others through shared experiences.

Drawing on past lessons, we can best support others facing similar challenges.

[08:10] Prioritize imperfect actions over outcome.

We are naturally afraid both of the unknown and of chances we didn't take. Prioritizing action over outcome through focusing on progress through imperfect steps rather than results.

[11:38] The 4 C’s of Better Decisions Faster

Paul outlines the 4 C's of decision making as Clarity, Confidence, Conviction. And Courage – and each C builds upon the previous one in a natural progression.

[14:29] Tackle your Most Valuable Decisions (MVDs)

Paul notes we make 35,000 daily decisions but should focus on the few "Most Valuable Decisions" or MVDs with greater impact.

[15:26] Evaluate you MVD with the head-heart-hands equation

Identify your Most Valuable Decision or MVD. Then check in with your head (mindset), heart (authenticity), and hands (action) regarding that decision using his equation.

[19:25] Confidence = Values x Action

Your level of confidence increases based on how frequently values are lived out through actions over time.

[29:34] The practical power of values over purpose

Paul asserts that while a "why" is important, values provide a more concrete way to guide daily decisions and actions.

[43:03] Stop drifting on default, and start living and operating by design.

Make choices in a deliberate, purposeful manner aligned with your true values and priorities.
