A quick way to think differently.

A quick way to think differently.
Steal perspectives.

What do they see that you don't?

Your CFO.
Your top client.
Your board chair.
Your head of service.

You already know what they'd say.

But knowing isn’t the same as properly stepping into their reality.

People do that for about 30 secs.
Then start to defend their own view.




That’s not embracing another’s perspective.

Instead.

- Stay in the other’s shoes.
- Overcome that discomfort.
- Experience their fears and doubts.
- Feel the pressure of different priorities

That's where the magic happens.

Do it.
You’ll see. "
