This episode explores the Abilene Paradox and how it affects our choices, encouraging listeners to reclaim their voice.
Ever agree to plans you didn’t actually want to do? That’s the Abilene Paradox, and it secretly shapes more of our choices than we realize. In this episode, I break down why we go along with the group, how it shows up in friendships, school, and early careers, and how to reclaim your voice without feeling guilty. Learn why pausing before saying yes could change everything about how you live your life. Part 4 of a 5-part series on the invisible rules of success.
