Title: Looking at things from another’s perspective

By using perceptual positioning you can explore an event from a different perspective, this process enables you to step back from your own mental map and get a distance from any emotions attached to it. You can also use it to explore another’s map, gaining an insight into their thought processes. When you use the third position you can review a meeting/situation to gain insight into what happened, looking at it as onlooker. This is also a great position for becoming your own coach.

If I asked you to imagine a dog, just there in front of you. What kind of dog do you see? What colour is it? Can you see if from the front, back, side? Is it all one colour? Does it have any distinguishing marks? How clearly can you see it?

Some people will see the dog perfectly, it will be clear and they will notice the colour, size and everything about the pouch. Others will have a very poor image and others will say they can’t see it. They will say no matter how hard they try they just can’t imagine it; they can’t see it!
