Balanced Perspectives
Do you feel challenged by thinking through a critical situation? Do you struggle with creativity and innovation? Have you ever been in a meeting in which nothing gets accomplished and only one person talks? Is collaboration and group participation a challenge to your team? Are you ready to evaluate personal and business decisions more easily?
All of these questions share a similar obstacle; a lack in perspective. Each one of us is a unique individual operating in a unique environment, yet we have more in common than we do our differences. How do we respect our individual perspectives while finding an equal playing field and collaborative action? The answer lies in balancing perspectives. When you look at a situation from many different angles and everyone has input, more information comes to light to evaluate decisions and problems. In this course, you will learn a process that ensures you observe a situation from varying perspectives. This process drives more effective and efficient thinking while promoting better participation and collaboration. You will practice and learn to:
