EP 483: Avoiding Acquiescence Bias
Update: 2024-12-05
Description
A problem, question, or challenge is often more than meets the eye. But we're biased to accept how an issue is initially framed. We acquiesce to the original terms. That's called acquiescence bias.

Today, I share 3 ways to resist acquiescence bias as you consider your next moves, goals, or plans.
