Listen "Delightful Misdirection (Or How to Rethink Your Options)"
Episode Synopsis
How we think about a problem or goal really matters. The variables we include, the relationships we draw between them, the flows of influence or resources—they change the interventions we choose. They change what interventions might even be possible.Today, an episode about crosswords, coffee shops, and rethinking your assumptions.☞ By the way, just 3 spots remain in this cohort of Making Sense! Registration closes September 12, but I expect those spots will be spoken for by then. If you want to communicate with more clarity, help others rethink their assumptions, and make a bigger impact with your remarkable ideas, check out this 8-week interactive workshop.Footnotes:Read the essay version of this episode.Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows"The Trouble with Models" by Tara McMullin"3 Ways to Avoid Acquiescence Bias" by Tara McMullin
