CYCLE OF CHOICE

Two of our daily activities involve “choosing” and “deciding”. Every day we ask ourselves which solutions are preferable, what the consequences of our choices will be and how other people will react if we fail. Whenever we are faced with difficult decisions, we don’t always know what to do. We look at the issue from every angle, but no option seems the right one to us. At other times, whatever direction we end up choosing, it will be basically like tossing a coin. And then, we may even leave it to others to choose for us.

Is it possible to make the right choice?

If you are an individual person, find out how, here.
If you are a business (HR manager, business owner, team leader, etc), find out how, here.

The fear of making the wrong choice, of failing and making mistakes is one of the most widespread emotions experienced by people. The more uncertain we are, the more afraid we become. It is true, uncertainty makes us insecure but it’s also a pity that even in certainty there is no security, because we may discover that we have made a wrong decision despite our assessments being correct. And that a choice that we consider wrong today could turn out to be right one tomorrow.
However, we believe that there are no right or wrong choices at all, but only informed choices. Our course aims to help change the perception of the difficulties in our decision-making process, to increase individual awareness and responsibility, or the ability to respond in an informed way to changes.

The Cycle of Choice offers a circular experience for revolutionising decision-making processes, by exiting a closed mindset, increasing our ability to consider different choice options and to imagine a greater number of possible scenarios. An experience that promotes the development of an anti-fragile mindset and taking responsible and informed decisions.

But it is also a “safe-space” where we can resize the weight of decision-making processes and take an all-round look at ourselves while making a choice: look to the past to analyse any mistakes, (recognise/learn what are own mindsets are; look inwards through activities related to listening and managing our emotions; focus on the future through a life & business coaching path; communicate and promote our potential in the best possible way.

The Cycle of Choice was created with the aim of unleashing the intrinsic power within each of us to make informed choices. We created this course for individuals with a mission to help them make informed choices.
Informed because it enables us to better understand where a block originates preventing us from moving forward.
Informed because we can all deepen the knowledge of ourselves, our values and our goals.
Informed because we will gain a better understanding of the mindsets influencing our way of thinking and acting to the point of leading us to making mistakes and continuing making the same mistakes.
Informed because whatever action we decide to take, the choice will be ours.

Is it possible to turn fear into our best ally?
We think it’s possible!

How?
Learning about ourselves (values, attitudes, goals)
Looking at our limits so that we can lift them
Trusting in our abilities
Celebrating positive results
Tolerating our mistakes

The Cycle of Choice is a course for individuals divided into 5 stages that follow each other in a circular, not vertical, direction: after an initial assessment, you can choose to skip some stages benefiting only from the support you really need. Each Cycle of Choice is unique, and each person will be able to harness specific and diversified skills. The Cycle is, in fact, tailored and customised to your specific needs and choice requirements.

People in employment and those who want to:
Change jobs

The uncertainty of making a wrong choice, the fear of failure, of not leading the team to success and of making mistakes are among the most common emotions experienced by corporate employees. But precisely the synergy between change and error opens up the option of making uncertainty an ally.
Change is an inevitable factor in any business. But continuous changes can trigger conflicting feelings: on the one hand, they may be considered a source of stimulus and enrichment, on the other, however, they may cause us to work under the stress of uncertainty about how to deal with them, or what we will find at the end of the journey.
Often, then, changes require new skills, or the enhancement of some skills, or even the ability to see concealed abilities – in ourselves or in our team.
It is thanks to change, therefore, that we may discover new options and explore different alternatives.
This course will help you change the perception of the difficulties in our decision-making process, increase individual awareness and responsibility, i.e., the ability to respond in an informed way to change.

The Cycle of Choice offers a circular experience for revolutionising decision-making processes by exiting a closed mindset, increasing the ability to consider different choice options and to imagine a greater number of possible scenarios. An experience that promotes the development of an anti-fragile mindset and taking responsible and informed decisions.
But it is also a “safe-space” in which to resize the weight of decision-making processes and for looking at your choices from an all-round perspective: looking to the past to analyse errors and acknowledge and understand any mindsets and biases, looking at yourself and gaining heightened awareness of your emotions, focusing on future scenarios through a business coaching course, communicating your potential in the best possible way and encouraging that of your team.

The mission of the Cycle of Choice for businesses is to offer support and guidance for navigating ambiguity and support for making informed choices, at different levels and at different times.
Informed because employees will be better equipped to effectively tackle change and decision-making and to act and better manage even unexpected risks (novel risk) and uncertainty.
Informed because, despite the absence of a (de)finite plan, it will be possible to guide people through the entire process of growth and change.

Is it possible to turn fear into our best ally?
We think it’s possible!

How?
By embracing the culture of failure as a new style of leadership
By supporting open interactions, based on trust in uncertain situations
By learning about ourselves (values, attitudes, goals) and by appreciating the value in others
By aligning our values with those of the organisation
By believing in our abilities and trusting our team
By identifying paths and structured options
By celebrating positive results as well as mistakes

The Cycle of Choice is a course featuring 5 stages. We always proceed in a circular direction, not a vertical one: after an initial assessment of your objectives (as a business, as a manager and as a team) you can choose to skip some stages, benefiting only from the support you really need. Each Cycle of Choice is unique, and each person will be able to harness specific and diversified skills. The Cycle is in fact tailored to the needs of your business and the choice requirements within your team.

As in people’s lives, businesses also go through many changes, due to a series of conditions which may be more or less favourable.
Making choices based on these conditions often implies the need for guidance and support, especially when the most important resources are involved: human resources.
