False dichotomies

The mind is an either/or machine. It doesn't do shades of grey πŸͺ™

False dichotomies

I was having a coaching conversation with someone and they had a business dilemma.

They were at a fork in the road and didn’t know whether to go down Path A or Path B.

Easy enough, you might think… except that it looked like Path A excluded B; and conversely Path B excluded A.

It had become an either/or scenario, but neither felt right and they were STUCK.
