Making Assumptions? Here's the Damage it Can Do
In today's episode, we dive into the negative side effects of making assumptions — and how they can quietly create conflict within ourselves and our personal growth, as well as how these negative side effects can sabotage communication and relationships with others. Whether it’s at work, at home, or with your friends, assuming instead of asking questions or fact checking can often lead to misunderstandings, frustration and can distort reality. We explore how normal it is for humans to assume, how easy it is to assume, and how these mental shortcuts can damage trust within yourself and others. We also talk about the potential positives with assuming to create motivation and confidence within yourself to achieve your goals. Tune in to learn why ditching those assumptions can transform the way you connect with others — and yourself.
