Confirmation Bias

Most of the coaches I work with are in the thick of fall camp.
Long days. Tired voices. And a repetition that feels like Groundhog Day.

One message I keep offering as a warning (an invitation?):

"Remember, you're not just leading people.
You're leading the STORIES you've been telling yourself about those people."

The guy who "can't make a block in space."
The position group that "doesn't have many leaders."
The other coach who's "just an *@sshole."

Once that story forms, you often only see what you expect to see.
You collect proof and ignore the rest.

It's called CONFIRMATION BIAS,
And it's why untapped potential stays untapped.

The fix isn't complicated.

Once a day, look for evidence that proves you wrong.
And once you see it, write it down. Capture it as ALSO true.

It’s challenging, I know.
But if you do it, you might be surprised at who you find.
