Avoid Option Paralysis
- Giving too many options hurts people’s ability to make decisions
- Thinking out loud can sound like you’re listing options, so be cautious if you tend to do that
- Try to limit the options to your top 2 or 3 recommendations. Don’t overwhelm their ability to make a decision
- When you have the ability to give options, using phrases like “based on what you’ve told me, here are the two or three best options I recommend”
