Discover the power of Backcasting

I just wrapped up an awesome class on Backcasting: Creating Trails from the Future and it was such a great group to work with! 

As students began sharing about the decisions they needed to make or take action on, I immediately started noticing people’s cognitive biases popping. I see biases, because I know what to look for. 

Biases are often invisible and yet they impact our ability to think outside the box and create an inspired, exciting future. 

I noticed one student saying, “Do I do A or B?” 

Today for Thoughtful Thursday I want to share one cognitive bias with you. It’s the either/or bias, also known as black or white thinking, and I can guarantee there are many options that live beyond or between the student’s A and B!

Our brains like simple choices to conserve energy so it makes sense we might fall prey to the either/or bias. 

Next time you catch yourself, or someone else, making a decision, and asking limiting questions like A or B, Yes or No, or With or Without, ask a bigger question like,

“What do I truly want out of this decision and what are creative ways I could get there?”

Would you like to overcome the power of invisible biases
