ABSTRACT
This chapter covers the social emotional learning (SEL) competency of responsible decision-making. Wendy opens the chapter with a powerful story from her personal life that we can all relate to. She then provides strategies and ideas for developing your own decision-making skills with proactive practices, in-the-moment strategies, and reflective practices. Wendy skillfully connects the dots to all of the other SEL competencies addressed earlier in the book. Her suggestions for skill development are easy to understand and will immediately help you grow in confidence to make better decisions in your personal and professional life. This chapter synthesizes the work on all of the SEL competencies in a powerful and engaging way.
