Perspective. A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.

As we all begin the second half of 2022, I welcome you to my new Weekly Mind Sweep.

Going forward you can look forward to a monthly topic where we can dig deeper on interesting topics with Curated Conversations, Mind Your Business, Manage Your Mind and a Contemplation; What’s On My Mind.

Buckle up, friends. You asked for it.

It feels timely to take July and discuss: Perspective.

  1. What does it mean?

  2. How does understanding other’s perspective help us in business and life?

  3. How can we learn to listen and understand others?

  4. What I think about it.

Definition:

per·spec·tive /pərˈspektiv/ noun

  • a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.

Your perspective matters.

It comes from a place of experience, knowledge and understanding.

Have you ever been at the optometrist where they put you behind the phoropter (yes, I had to look that up) and they alternate through a series of lenses and ask you “Which one is better, 1 or 2?” There is no “right” answer, because the answer depends on the person behind the lens.

We each have a unique perspective, a lens which we interpret our lives.

Others’ perspective matters, too.

We don’t know what we don’t know and “perspective taking” is a powerful way to expand our learnings from the way other’s see life. Pro Tip: Once you know better, you can then start to do better.

Perspective taking is a crucial part of personal growth, increased understanding and empathy, and creates a more expansive perspective on human life itself.

Do you allow yourself the time to think, process and challenge your own perspective of situations in business and life? I fall in love with brains that challenge perspectives #braingeek

Are you able to see it as cleary as their perspective, rather than “good” or “bad”? Unless, of course, we're discussing something disgusting like old milk...unless it's turned into cheese, then we can reconsider. See
perspective.

Who you surround yourself with, matters.

Be careful that you are not surrounded by people that share the same perspective, all of the time. Finding different points of view helps you uncover the blind spots. Take time to consider where their perspective is coming from.

  • Is it a big-picture or narrow view?

  • Are they blindly agreeing with you?

  • Do they struggle to provide constructive criticism of your thoughts?

When you are able to listen to and receive another person’s perspective you are able to see an issue from a bigger picture view, and likely able to understand more fully the emotional force behind their perspective.

We’ve reached a time in the world where humans can benefit from taking pause and listening to how we think, challenge our beliefs and biases and more than ever learn to listen with empathy.

I value getting to know the whole person as a business owner and taking a holistic, human view of their needs. I meet you where you’re at and support you in getting to where you want to go.


I love watching small business owners thrive and feel proud of what they’re building.


Founder and Owner of Chickbook Creative, I’ve gained years of career experience in systems, processes, accountability, leadership, and project management. I bring a multi-faceted approach to problem-solving and extensive knowledge of executive functioning, habit formation, and the neurodiverse and ADHD entrepreneur’s mind.


I see and understand the ADHD entrepreneur brain at work, and I'm passionate about supporting neurodivergent business owners in a way that lets them shine their light and bring their gifts to the world for all to see (and pay them for!).
