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 support🤷‍♀️

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

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

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

✅ Finding the right vantage point is a skill.

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

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

✅ Knowing who to ask for support is a skill.

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

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

We see what we set our 👀 upon.

Some 👀 have a laser sharp focus but miss the big picture.

Some 👀 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 👀 upon.

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

Est-ce que tu vois la vie en rose❓💃🤓
