“When you are feeling heightened emotions, that’s not the time to be making major life decisions. “I use the 10, 10, 10 rule; when forced to make a decision it makes me think, ‘how will I feel in 10 minutes, 10 weeks, 10 months or 10 years?’. If I might feel like I’m making a rock star move now that I’ll regret in 10 years, I do something else.” Helen Russell, HR Consultant at Harrison Drury Solicitors shared her advice for effective decision making, “closing the loop” and the importance of trust in business in our latest #Freshfield 10 QUESTIONS feature. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eTRW8pkA
