The U.K. votes on Brexit and the U.S. presidential election votes have shaken the world and become the most talk-about topics in 2016.
My first thought is the issue of blindspots which is the core of life coaching. We all have a natural tendency to be more receptive to opinions and facts that are more agreeable with our own views. On the contrary, we are more inclined to ignore unfavorable facts. In other words, we are “blind” to facts that we don’t believe or don’t want them to happen.
In the case of Brexit, I, like many “remainers”, ignored many signs pointing to the “leavers”.
Before analyzing a situation, we should check our perspective to make sure we start from a neutral ground and stay objective. First check your blindspots before reaching your conclusion.
