You think you're making informed decisions.

You think you're making informed decisions.
But are you really?

So many choices are made on surface-level information.
We rarely stop to ask questions ... let alone the deeper ones.
We accept what we see or hear at face value.

⇥ In client meetings.
⇥ In hiring decisions.
⇥ In strategy sessions.

We act on assumptions without peeling back the layers.

We might think:
'That candidate didn’t seem confident.' ⇥ But did we ask why?
'This strategy isn’t working.' ⇥ But do we know what exactly isn’t?
'That person always says no.' ⇥ But have we explored their perspective?

One more question ... just one ... can shift an entire conversation.
It can uncover bias, reveal truth, and lead to smarter, stronger decisions.

The deeper insight is usually right there, just beneath the obvious.
We just have to get curious enough to look.

So next time you’re about to decide ... pause ... and ask that question.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
