This tendency can create both communication and results problems. This week, we'll take a look at confirmation bias and consider two ideas for combating it.

12 min - Provide Data Both Accurately and Honestly
In prior episodes I have talked about Providing Context When You Share Data and Learning to Speak Accurately. In this episode, I'm looking at the idea of speaking accurately from a slightly different angle. This perspective is more about the intent of the data presentation than about the facts of it. I'm looking at the challenge - and questionable honesty - of presenting data in a way that will elicit a stronger emotion than appropriate for the situation by manipulating the presentation.
