Why do smart people make poor decisions?

Often, it's not because they lack intelligence. It's because they're only seeing one version of the problem.

In this solo episode of Time to Reset, Focusologist Penny Zenker explores how our experiences, assumptions, beliefs, and pressure shape what we notice—and what we completely miss. Through one powerful leadership exercise and practical coaching questions, you'll discover how expanding your perspective leads to better decisions, greater creativity, and stronger leadership.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why we often solve the wrong problem without realizing it

• How assumptions quietly limit your choices

• Simple questions that expand perspective and improve decision making

• Why great leaders create better answers instead of providing all the answers

• How intentional reset moments help you think more clearly under pressure

If you've ever felt stuck between two choices, overwhelmed by a decision, or frustrated that every solution seems incomplete, this episode will help you uncover the options you didn't know you had.
