Becky and Diana discuss the value of be able to see things from someone else’s perspective.
- Being able to see things from someone else’s point of view is a great asset for work, life, and relationships.
- Conversation breaks down when you can’t or won’t see things from the other person’s perspective.
- If neither party can see things from the other’s point of view you have a stand-off and nothing gets done.
- Asking questions helps you gain insight from another’s perspective.
- When you assume intent, you’re making a guess that could actually be fiction.
- Self-assess your conversation to ensure what you are saying is being received in the way you want.
- You miss so much by closing yourself off to others’ viewpoints.
- There are people who don’t want to take your scenic route.
- Walking in other people’s shoes, to see what and how they see, can be uncomfortable.
- Respect is created when you acknowledge someone else’s perspective, even if you don’t agree with it.
