Why You Can’t Make the Decision You Already Know You Need to Make

Most of us don’t actually have a decision-making problem. We have a conversation we’re avoiding. Maybe you need to confront a difficult employee, say no to an opportunity, end a partnership, make a career change, or finally admit that something is no longer working. Until you address it, you stay stuck—overthinking the same decision without moving forward. In this episode of Loud & Lifted, Betsy sits down with Kasey D’Amato, a physician assistant turned founder who built and exited a global company. Today, Kasey advises CEOs and executive teams through high-stakes decisions involving business pivots, partnerships, hiring, firing, and exits. In this conversation, you’ll learn: ▪ How to identify the conversation that may be keeping you stuck ▪ The head, heart, and gut test for making difficult decisions ▪ Why at least two of the three should align before you move forward ▪ The two-minute rule for avoiding decisions made out of anger ▪ How to separate real outside pressure from what is actually within your control ▪ The Polaris Point method for turning a three-year vision into your next 90-day priorities ▪ The first move to make when you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or unable to move forward ▪ What spending time alone taught Kasey about boundaries and saying no Clarity does not always come from gathering more information. Sometimes it comes from having the conversation you already know you need to have. Kasey’s free Decision Diagnosis tool is linked in the description.
