Chin Teik Season 2 Episode 9

Up-Close with Chin Teik: Re-Think
Assume makes an Ass-U-Me

Four questions to begin this episode. 

  1. How aware are you of the assumptions behind your responses to certain situations or people? 
  2.  Where do your assumptions come from? And why are assumptions important? 
  3. Can you change your assumptions? 
  4.  Who and what can provide a re-think on your assumptions 

People are prone to biased assumptions based on the 4E - environment, education, experience and exposure. Those assumptions will lead to automatic thinking and stimulus-response behaviors which may not always be optimal in terms of DEI. Assumptions are important in strategic planning and decision making as well as quality connections at home and at work.

Listen to this episode on how to #pause, #unpack and #re-think one's current assumptions.
