Cindy Esliger addresses how our interpretations of other people’s actions can shape our emotions and behaviors. What we think is being said may not actually be accurate. Our interpretation may be based on assumption, bias, or belief and have little to do with the other person. So how do we navigate that? The ways in which we decide to interpret people’s actions can lead directly to our own reactions. If we interpret someone’s behavior as an attack, we can get defensive. If we interpret someone’s words as a compliment, we will likely feel happy. Cindy notes that it’s important to be mindful of the stories we tell ourselves so we can challenge unhelpful interpretations.Cindy defines cognitive bias and confirmation bias, giving examples of how both operate and affect us, and offers insight into balancing our interpretations for a more objective perspective. She shares three tips on ways to challenge our interpretations and assumptions. Ultimately she is guiding us to becoming more confident, motivated, and resilient in our interactions so we can realize greater success.  Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Being Aware of Our InterpretationsAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
