Perspective

This is a photo of the steepest hill in Waimea (well, I don’t know that for a fact). What I do know however, is that it is so steep that the local DMV takes student drivers on it for driving tests! 

Anyway, it is a hill that I know very well, sometimes I hate it when I find myself at the bottom of the hill, and sometimes I love it once I’m at the top and look back how far I’ve come. It just depends on your perspective I guess.

I was meeting with a client this week about an upcoming event, she had a major details in place, but that was about it. She knew she needed help but wasn’t sure what help she needed.  She was “too close” to it. So what did I do? I listened. I listened to learn and learned to listen. I shared my perspective on how I could help her by seeing her quandary through a different set of eyes. 

A situation that seemed so difficult at first (staring at that darn hill from the bottom) is now doable (staring at that amazing hill from the top), thanks to a little perspective.
