A consultant called me with the following question: You say to always give a few alternatives in a proposal that increase in value. But if they build on each other– like, Phase I, Phase II and Phase III– won’t they just choose the cheapest one? How do you construct alternatives so that clients will choose one of the more lucrative choices?

This week’s reflection point: We live in an era of constant and instant connectivity. Over the past 15 years, our society has undergone a complete transformation in terms of basic interactions. It’s no surprise that the kids who came of age during this time period, the infamous Millennials, are known as The On-Demand Generation. These days, it seems that anything you want, you can get on demand—or at least in 1 to 2 business days, with free shipping.

In the last year or so numerous tech companies, including Google, Yelp, Amazon, and LinkedIn have been accused of unethical actions.

Empathy doesn't involve feeling sorry for someone. It is our honest answer to the question, "why did they do what they did?". The useful answer is rarely, "because they're stupid." Or even, "because they're evil." In fact, most of the time, people with similar information, similar beliefs and similar apparent choices will choose similar actions.

The story we tell ourselves and the stories we tell our children matter far more than we imagine. There's a huge difference between, "You got an A because you're smart," and "You got an A because you studied hard.". Or.

Wouldn't it be great if we knew what our regrets were when we still had time to do something about them?
