The thing about perspective is most human beings only understand and embrace their own.

The fact that the other person might not be wrong or might not just be trying to negate us, doesn’t usually occur to us.

This creates room for misunderstandings … and grief is what comes through the door next.

Our own perspective matters more than the reality that surrounds us — no matter how ugly that reality is.

And despite all the things that are out of our hands, we have complete control over our perspective.

We get to choose how we experience the highs and lows of life.

Perspective is important in creative problem-solving because it allows people to view challenges from multiple angles and come up with innovative solutions.

Creative thinking is in fact the ability to look at problems from a fresh perspective.

Diverse groups bring diverse thinking resulting, in bigger, better and more interesting ideas.

Any guests that have ever worked with me will remember the Charting Your Brain Operating System Quiz!!!

Life experiences combined with culture contribute to a broad range of perspectives …. a kaleidoscope of ideas and perspectives.

As a speaker, facilitator and coach, I have the privilege of travelling the world and working with a myriad of diverse groups.

I take the learning from 1 industry, or 1 country or 1 culture and apply it to others.

It’s a cross pollination of thinking that produces the strongest ideas.

Diverse experiences = new and different points of view. Travel for me provides so many different perspectives because I can walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Always invite different stakeholders to the table – not just marketing and communication. Include supply chain, customers, consumers, R&D, finance, HR, and customer service.

Most importantly … we should always remember that a human mind is unimaginably vast.

The same things can trigger different emotions in different people …  even different emotions in the same person at different times.

If we all come from the same place, then we will end up in the same place!
