Your board has a view. Your partner has a view. Your mentors have stories about what they would do. Even the people who care most about you cannot live the consequences of this decision on your behalf.
When the stakes are high, seeking input is wise. Collecting opinions without a boundary is something else. Every conversation can introduce a new criterion, until you are trying to satisfy a group of people who do not agree with one another. The decision becomes less clear each time you discuss it.
First, identify whose knowledge you actually need. One person may know the financial implications. Another understands the culture you would enter. Someone close to you can speak to the effects on home life. Ask each for the information they are best placed to give, rather than asking all of them to choose for you.
Next, write your own decision criteria before the next conversation. Include the realities you refuse to ignore: the people affected, the time required, the risks you can absorb, and the opportunity you do not want to miss. Listen carefully, then measure the advice against those criteria.
Other people can help you see more. They cannot make the choice yours by agreeing with it. There is relief in accepting that not everyone will approve. The aim is not universal endorsement. It is a considered decision you are willing to own.
If you need a private place to hear your own thinking, book a Private Clarity Call with Lori. The decision can remain yours.
