I'm dusting off some old tools I used to teach. I've come to realize they aren't just for the boardroom, they are practical tools for navigating everyday life. Today, I'm sitting down to teach you the "Ladder of Inference".

In this episode:

1. Why We Get Hooked by Headlines [00:00]
2. The Ladder of Inference Explained [02:25]
3. The 12-Second Clip: How Social Media Sends Us to the Top [04:19]
4. Spot Your Triggers & Ask Better Questions [06:04]
5. Descend the Ladder: Questions to Get Back to Facts [07:55]
6. 3 Ways to Use the Tool: Reflection, Advocacy, Inquiry [08:29]
7. Use It on Yourself First: Interrupt the Ladder [09:45]

Why it matters:

Learning self-awareness tools helps us to have more compassion, respect, and kindness toward one another.
