Meet the final two Cognitive Tendencies and Biases in our series!

Perspective-Taking and Delayed Gratification. 🙌

This episode will help you better understand:

• Why you misinterpret other people's meanings
• Why other people misunderstand what you mean
• Why seemingly harmful or illogical choices "make sense"
• And how to account for these biases so you can make clearer, more intentional choices

Ok...we have a pretty good sense of Negativity Bias at the surface.

Negative information has a greater impact than positive information, when it comes to cognitive processing.

But do you know exactly how and why this is affecting your decision-making?

Let's continue our series on Cognitive Biases, pulled from a workshop I ran with a previous Coaching Group, to dig into:

• The Framing Effect
• Loss Aversion
• The Endowment Effect

How often do you assume you know WHY something happened?

How quickly do you land on a conclusion about why something DIDN'T happen?

Turns out, we humans are great at assigning "causes" to things.

We're just not great at getting it right!

In this quick episode, I clue you into the cognitive tendency of Causal Attribution, including where it comes from, how to spot it, and how to make conscious decisions in spite of it!

We all want to make smart, thoughtful, "rational" decisions, right?

But how do we do that when we're working with a biased brain?

Today's episode is pulled from a Workshop I did for a Decision Masters Coaching Group, where we explored different cognitive biases and tendencies that impact our decision-making daily.

You'll learn:

• How the Fluency Effect makes things seem easier than they are
• Why the Planning Fallacy might be to blame for you not getting all 27 things done during that "90-minute time block"
• And how to use the awareness of these biases to your advantage, so you can still remain a human (we don't "conquer" our own wiring!) but also make intentional choices and set yourself up for success

Ok. So there's a problem.

Maybe someone's saying it's your fault. Or they're implying it. Or you're just assuming it.

What do you do? Well, if you're like a lot of folks, you go into Auto-Wrong Mode.

• You question your right to have an opinion contrary to others...to implement a boundary...to say no to a request
• You assume you're wrong, you've created the problem, and now it's your job to fix it
• You lose sight of what you TRULY think, feel, want and need

NOT ANYMORE, friend.

I used to ask clients to consider another perspective ("What if this problem has 100% to do with them, and 0% to do with you?") but now - thanks to a brave, wise, empowered young woman - I have this gem of a question:

What if this is an ish-YOU, not an ish-ME?

Listen for how to free yourself from assuming you're in the wrong, and from taking responsibility for being "different" just so there isn't a problem anymore!

The idea of deciding something "as an experiment" is appealing because it implies lower stakes and easier commitment, right?

But how do you "experiment" with big life choices that you can't just undo if you change your mind?

In this episode, I explain how you'll benefit from adopting the "Experiment Mindset" more -- and the most effective way to do it!

How often do you set a goal - or create a plan to deal with a circumstance - only for it not to work perfectly and for you to end up feeling like a failure who "should've planned better"?

Whether you wanted to "get X done in Y time" or you thought you had a good strategy to deal with "Z situation" - if you don't end up with results you like, you might judge or resent your plan!

It's easy to look at "failed plans" in hindsight through major Judgment Goggles.

But what's the alternative?

This episode breaks down the KEY STEP to executing plans successfully: Assessment

I show you the big mistake people make when they miss a target deadline, or get stuck in a plan for several more months than intended.

And how to avoid it!
