It all depends on how you look at things…. the Power of Perspective

I am fortunate to have lived and worked all over the world leading business transformation initiatives (8 countries and counting). What has always surprised me is how the people of each country believe their country is the best in the world…yet often without any meaningful validation. This made me think…how am I seeing myself and how is that validated?

In her excellent book ‘Insight’ @TashaEurich helps to start the important journey towards self-realization. Knowing yourself and how you are perceived (two very different points of view), helps you as you pursue your purpose and goals.

The cornerstone of leadership, and to many degrees personal fulfilment, is through self-awareness. Getting to know yourself through reflection and meditation is a good beginning, reaching out to others for their “prismatic” view helps begin to round things out.

Once you start on this journey it is exciting to wrestle with some of the findings. I know, I am wrestling constantly to become a better version of myself!
