Choice architecture is a great option! I didn't realize that is something I do when working with clients. Thankfully I didn't have many nightmare clients but providing options led to faster resolutions and decision making. **the added bonus is the confidence in myself.
Great post Ashley. Treating difficult dynamics as a systems issue rather than a personality issue is a powerful practical shift. Limiting options and protecting political capital are high-leverage moves. Well said.

Yes!! It simplifies things so much. Ultimately, why create more headaches for yourself in a dynamic that's not great in the first place?
“How do I create the right conditions for success for myself given that this is my reality?”
This hit home! Thanks for sharing the Seattle example.
I’m so glad it hit home. The Seattle metaphor is one of my favorites. Can’t change the weather, so what else can you do? Quite a bit!
Omg I wish I had this a few years ago
Same lol. I was in shambles tbh.
BEEN THERE TOO!!!

Thank you Andrew! I had to learn this the hard way. I'm just glad I can share from a place of "enlightenment" now lol.
