What’s the third option?

What’s the third option?

We can do X or we can do Y.

But, maybe we could actually do Z.

A friend of mine recently gave some great advice?

“whenever you have a choice in front of you that seems to have two options, take a moment and come up with a third choice.”

Binary thinking compels us to draw a line in the sand.

Your idea OR my idea.

Someone walks away disappointed.

But, what if there’s more?

Finding a third option changes the debate.

It’s not Your way or My way, it’s “what is the best way?”
