“𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐬”.
Ofcourse, any photographer would want to capture your most flattering angle. But I looked it up recently and it turns out it would “break the illusion that you’re the center of attention or make one look unnatural”, interesting!
I found it rather intriguing and it reminds me of how important it is to frame yourself for the point of view and perspective you want to be seen through. Why would that be a big deal? Being chosen is not just about meeting the criteria, it’s about exuding traits that suggest you are “the one”. With inherent and unique qualities for your seat at the table.
Being a Project Manager helps Me to achieve this in two ways:
1) Cognitive framing: Challenging known negatives and distorted thoughts associated with a situation.
2) Reframing and Perspective shifting: reinterpreting a situation from all stakeholders perspectives.
These give a 360 view of a situation, improves stakeholder experience and fosters desired culture.
