The Power of Perspective

It can be tempting to assume that when we’ve taken a look at something once that we know it all, in full detail, inside and out, but do we really?

Are we seeing clearly, or are we adopting a first impression that could blind us to truly seeing the potential (or reality) of a person or thing? As we grow from childhood, we adopt perspectives (or takes) on the world from our parents and peers. We include these perspectives as part of our routine that we may revisit daily, but rarely question their appropriateness or value with respect to the moment. What if in questioning these perspectives, we could deliver ourselves more: time, speed, effectiveness, meaningful experiences and relationships?

This talk reflects on common perspectives used in the world that can add value, it reflects on the value of the perspectives we use and challenges the audience to consider how they might add, remove or perpetuate those perspectives that bring more value to their world.
