The document discusses gaining broader perspectives on topics. It mentions a facilitated discussion on an undisclosed topic where participants reacted via chat. It encourages considering different cultural points of view rather than making claims of absolute truth. The document advises reexamining challenges from multiple perspectives by zooming in on details and out to the bigger picture, and carefully considering each person's unique perspective and story.

1. What’s your
perspective?

2. Today’s agenda
• Facilitated discussion on a topic – don’t want to give too much away
• React to it – via chat feature (try not to come off mute!)
• Let’s see what we experience together!

3. Let’s go!

9. Gaining a broader perspective
• Sometimes when we are confronted with a challenge we need to re-think it. What’s in front of
us might not be exactly as it appears.
• What’s the bigger picture? There could be benefits to zooming in on the details (micro) and
out (macro)!
• Each person has their own perspective and story tell. They are worth a careful listen.
• Be careful with truth claims. What’s true for you, might not be true for others, especially in
the moment.
