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:

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 areWhy 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 successLINKS!

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 requestYou assume you're wrong, you've created the problem, and now it's your job to fix itYou lose sight of what you TRULY think, feel, want and needNOT 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!

Whether you're going through a big life change or you've simply experienced an internal "season shift," now is a great time to check in and update your Core Values.
The best questions I can offer to make this easy are:
What do I want influencing my choices right now?Three months from now, what will I be happy having done / tended do / avoided?In this episode, I walk you through my own conversation with myself (on a dog walk) during which I updated my Core Values â since I have a big move coming up and our family's starting a new chapter soon (with Kenny working out of town most of the year and me taking care of our 3 dogs and my business here!).
I remind you of the guidelines of crafting your Core Values, and let you know how to get the most out of them.
So you can make the best, most aligned, trustworthy choices going forward, and create the life you really want!

Is that a problem? Or is it, in fact, the plan?
This question sparked a huge aha for a client recently, and that's not the first time!
When we'd LOVE everything to get done with perfection, it's difficult to fully commit to a plan that leaves things undone or only allows for things to be "good enough."
So how do you fully commit to a plan, and execute it to success, when you don't totally love it?
When you can't plan on getting everything done, exactly how you want, it's vital to be able to commit to what you CAN do. Otherwise, you risk second-guessing and judging yourself daily â which both limits and discounts your progress.
Today's episode will help you get behind your plan â even if it includes putting something off 'til later, not spending as much time as you want to on something, and doing things "imperfectly"!

Sometimes, you get to map everything out, take all the time you want and still create big, beautiful change.
Other times â not so much.
Life surprises you, and all of a sudden, you're facing multiple opportunities to make BIG DECISIONS.
But how do you keep a clear head and trust your choices when things are moving fast, or you didn't plan for any of this!?
Well, speaking from real-time experience right now...(in about 72 hours, Kenny and I made big moves including the decision that he'd go do a show for 5 months two states away and I'd move our 3 dogs and whole household elsewhere in L.A...and all of this is meant to happen within about a week!)...
I'm sharing 6 tips that I'm employing:
Tune into your feelings (hint: emotions drive decisions!)Clarify the decisions to be madeAllow yourself to make one decision (and "solve one problem") at a timeAsk for input strategicallyDo not obligate yourself to keep in touch, get back to people quickly or keep all the plans you made before big decision timeCompartmentalize your scheduleReady to make big decisions to create BIG CHANGE quickly?
Without excess guilt, stress or overwhelm?
Let's do this!

Welcome to âIâll Think About Itâ Part 2 đ
A huge reason we put decisions off, drag them out, and end up making impulsive choices we don't trust (or just not making them at all) is our lack of a plan.
Specifically: A plan for HOW you want to approach a decision.
The good news? You're already making some choices with a plan â hooray!
The news we gotta work on: You're used to reserving this decision-making method for the few and far between choices that seem to warrant it.
In this episode, I show you:
Why "throwing decisions in the backseat for later" is costing you more than you thinkWhat questions to ask, to decide HOW you want to make a choiceHow to apply helpful structure to big and small decisions in under two minutesLINKS!

Welcome to "I'll Think About It" Part 1!
What keeps you from making a decision quickly â like, on the spot?
When faced with a choice, a very natural default can be to "need to think about it, and decide later."
But how often is this a conscious decision to delay vs. a unconscious habit â and how often is that habit COSTING you time, energy and vital (life-changing) opportunities?
In this series, we're breaking down the decision-making paradigm that you should always think about it and decide later.
Today's episode gets into:
The 3 keys to deciding quicklyThe 1 question you need to break this habitI'll empower you to make more decisions NOW â decreasing your mental load and making things happen faster!

Where do the expectations you set for "what you should be able to do" in a day or week or month come from?
I bring news!
If you've:
Been overscheduling yourself latelyOr crossing off 1/10th of your To Do List every day for the past yearOr find yourself constantly disappointed in today's performance because "back in the day" you could do things faster...Or worse: Sheryl over there is coping just fine, so why are you struggling?...You might be suffering from "Realistic Expectation Syndrome," which is a condition I just made up but is completely real.
Too often, we idealize our capacity and capability to the point that our plans (and To Do Lists) would only be achievable by 6-armed superhumans who don't require sleep.
Be honest: How many times have you looked at tomorrow's jam-packed schedule and said, "Well, if I focused enough or had the right energy, I should realistically be able to do all this"...?
That right there is why today, we're differentiating "realistic" from HONEST.
In the episode, I explain why adopting the latter perspective will not, as you fear, doom you to utter failure and ruin â and why it is, in fact, the KEY to being able to ramp up your productivity and focus when you need to!

It seems like the more adulting we do, the harder it gets for FUN to be an effortless part of everyday life.
But when you think about "fun" being a choice available to you - kind of all the time - that can change.
Especially when "fun" doesn't have to mean what it might have for the past few years. (What comes to mind? Vacations? Day trips? Isolated periods of time that are separate from "regular life"?)
Today I invite you to consider the kind of person you want to be and the kind of life you want to have.
Where does FUN fit into that?
With your answer, you'll learn how to make the decision to have fun more often - even in boring meetings! - and you'll understand the value and impact that will have on the life you create!
