Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I make calls all the time but I never write them down or check them later, so my confidence is just a feeling that floats free
- I’m about to make a real call and I want to pin down what I actually think will happen right now, before I find out
- I make calls about how things will go all the time, but I never write them down or check them after
- When I say I’m eighty percent sure I genuinely don’t know if that means anything
- I’m sure about things constantly and I have no idea if that confidence is earned
