Are You Overthinking or Taking Action? The 3 Action Waves Explained

Описание: In this episode of the Bite-Sized Brilliance Podcast, Dr. April Darley introduces a powerful framework she calls The Action Wave.

When it comes to taking action, most people fall into one of three categories: First Wave: Vision first. Move fast. Get data. Refine later.

Middle Wave: Strategy first. Watch, analyze, reduce risk, then move.

Last Wave: High caution, low confidence, and often stuck in hesitation. None of these waves are fixed identities.

You might be first wave in business, middle wave in relationships, and last wave in fitness.

The point isn’t to label yourself. It’s to see your patterns clearly.

This episode is about courage, risk tolerance, self-regulation, and how your relationship with failure determines how quickly you move.

If you want to improve your results, you can't just think about them. You have to act. So, which wave will you be in?
