Seeing Things: Virtual Student Keynote

Your student group will learn how new perceptions shift perspectives to shape new outcomes in this 60-minute live webinar. Seeing Things is about endeavoring to know what we don’t know. We are at a great advantage personally and professionally when we’re able to acknowledge the filters through which we perceive our world - and then have the willingness and capacity to see things from new and different perspectives other than our own. You see, how we “see things” affects everything.

 Are you tired of the noise and the inevitable confusion resulting from information overload? Especially in times of uncertainty and stress, the voices both inside and outside of our heads can be deafening. In today’s hyper-connected world, whether we are in the midst of crises, or just enduring the status quo, it’s never been more essential for us to harness the ability to “see things” more clearly (literally and figuratively speaking).

To “see” = to become more aware = to better understand.

By better understanding how shifting your perceptions influences and shapes your perspectives, you become uniquely and strategically positioned to communicate effectively and make the best decisions for your circumstances.

The “best” decisions are the most effective decisions -  those that produce your desired outcomes, both personally and professionally. But how do we cut through the milieu and minimize the plethora of illusions and delusions, and cognitive and communication breakdowns that plague us all sometimes?

Key actionable takeaways for you and your group:

• How “Seeing things” from new and unique perspectives can drastically change how we view, interact with, and positively affect the worlds in which we live, study, and educate others.
• Recognizing and understanding the important, yet often overlooked differences between perception and perspective provide enhanced outcomes personally and professionally.
• Applying the practice of “seeing things” continually gives you an advantage socially, emotionally, and professionally.

Employing the six strategies to sharpen your perception will enable you to “see things” in new ways and offer positive effects for both your personal and professional perspectives and outcomes.
