Why not view our solutions on people and change today?
Everyone plays the what-if game, probably every day, albeit subconsciously.
Itās a technique weāve developed to assess risk. Is it dependable?
No! Based only on what we already know, or what we think we already know, this technique is highly biased and we find ourselves subconsciously developing the reasoning to alter the preferred outcome. If you ask yourself āwhat if this email receives a negative response?ā you are already supposing that will happen.
We donāt need to stop what-iffing. We just need to open our mind.
Consider this:
1. What if the person you find most difficult at work is actually the one who can teach you about yourself?
2. What if putting forward the idea youāve been thinking about will actually make for some fantastic conversation?
3. What if, instead of waiting for the āright timeā to start a project, you just start it now?
4. What if the individual whoās being counterproductive is actually just struggling and could do with some help?
5. What if doing things a little differently each day will change your mind-set in the first instance, and your productivity in the next?
The list is endless. Start what-iffing!
