Someone doesn’t reply.
A plan changes.
We make a mistake.
Someone seems quieter than usual.
There’s what happened.
And then there’s the story we might quickly create around it.
I’ve done something wrong.
They’re upset with me.
I’m not good enough.
I should have known better.
It’s something I can become curious about in coaching.
Not because our interpretation is necessarily wrong but because it can be useful to notice when we’ve moved from what we know to what we’re assuming.
Sometimes that small distinction opens up a very different conversation.
