The 5 questions to ask yourself when you are at a crossroads and you need to make a decision
At some point in all of our lives, we will find ourselves at a crossroads.
You might need to make a life-changing decision or maybe you have been offered the role of your dreams (which means leaving your current comfort zone) and you just don’t know what to do.
In the summer of 2016, I was at the crossroads deciding whether to leave British Airways after working there for almost 20 years, or whether I should stay. I’d had the conversation with my boss to inform me that I was “at risk of redundancy” and she had shared the list of available opportunities with me.
None of these opportunities appealed to me as I had either done the role before or I knew that these were roles which were seen as a “poisoned chalice” (and no-one wants that, right?). Deep down, I knew that I had to leave but I couldn’t quite find the push to help me get there.
I was speaking with a friend, who had been in a similar position just a couple of years before and he gave me these 5 questions to ask.
