This past week, at work, I gave my first talk on the topic of instinctual biases<\/strong>, one of the two dimensions of the Awareness to Action<\/strong> model I mentioned a couple of months ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This part of the model describes three domains or areas of life that we all focus on without really noticing<\/strong>, as they are essential for our survival, and ultimately, for the survival of the human species. But the interesting thing is that we don\u00b4t realise how much attention we give to them (hence the word \"instinctive\", as they\u00b4re non-conscious tendencies), and even more interesting is the fact that this attention is not equally distributed among the three areas; instead, each of us prioritises one of them way above the other two<\/strong> (hence the word \"biases\", which are nothing more than tendencies to follow certain patterns). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, these instinctual biases are a determining factor in many of our decisions and everyday behaviours, so, going back to the analogy of the elephant<\/a> from the other day, by being aware of these biases, we\u00b4ll be able to detect their influence on us, and work with them so that they help us instead of hindering us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before telling you about these three domains, there are two things I would like to clarify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
