Ad-vantage points

Speyside, Tobago from different vantage points. It’s all about perspective!

It’s all a matter of perspective ❣

I was having fun exploring my island paradise over the last few days of 2022.

With no photographer on hand I had fun taking selfies.

This was an exercise in patience & creativity as I had to partner with nature to safely hold the camera in place while I held a pose. No selfie stick for supportπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

It got me thinking about soft skills that are often overlooked in professional pursuits.

βœ… Finding the best angle to approach and solve a problem is a skill.

βœ… Finding the best adapted prop is a skill (in my case two stones).

βœ… Finding the right vantage point is a skill.

βœ… Choosing the right light, avoiding harsh light and backlighting is a skill.

βœ… Choosing the right time of day to take photos (& approach your boss, colleague or client) is a skill.

βœ… Knowing who to ask for support is a skill.

βœ… Being the best support to those who need your skillset is a skill.

βœ… Seeing different perspectives in the mind’s eye is a skill.

We see what we set our πŸ‘€ upon.

Some πŸ‘€ have a laser sharp focus but miss the big picture.

Some πŸ‘€ see the panoramic view but overlook the granular details.

Applying these skills to daily life allows us to perceive the 🌎 differently‼️ It gives us ad-vantages!

As we wrap up 2022, our perception of the year gone by is coloured by what we choose to focus our πŸ‘€ upon.

Likewise, as we set our πŸ‘€ on 2023, let us be mindful of our perceptive powers.
