What Is Perspective Shifting?

Perspective Shifting is taking a problem, a point of view, or a toxic thought process and shifting the perspective to give you insight into a solution, another point of view and a healthy thought process.


Why Perspective Shifting For Leaders?

Leaders are in unique positions to have powerful impacts, not only for organizations, but also for people. In order to leverage perspective shifting it starts with the individual leaders. Gaining first, an understanding of where our unique perspective sits, and then making conscious efforts to shift your personal perspective to increase emotional intelligence, decrease leadership burnout, and develop an inspired and creative culture.

Perspective is everything, and whether you’re a leader in title, or behavior, you have an immeasurable opportunity to affect those around you in a way that will change, not just your organization, but the world.

“Stephanie is a compassionately tough coach. Since the day we met, she has inspired me to push myself past what I thought I was capable of. She genuinely cares about people and wants to help others succeed. She also recognizes that everyone is on a journey and everyone’s journey is different. What I love the most is when coaching she is loving but firm. She will not sugar coat the truth and will tell you what you need to hear, but she will speak with love, understanding, and most times the experience to back it up.”
