We are the product of deeply-seated beliefs, feelings, and assumptions that we believe about ourselves, others, and the universe. And whether we acknowledge it or not, we bring these assumptions into how we conduct ourselves in our interviews.
In this episode, I explore 3 conscious assumptions I try to bring into the interviews that I do.
1) That people are foundationally good
2) That people all have the same foundational desires and impulses
3) That people deep down want to be honest and sincere with me
What about yours? What assumptions do you try to bring into your interviews? Are your subconscious assumptions and your conscious ones congruent? How can you make your subconscious assumptions in congruence with the ones you want to hold?
