The Blind Spot

A talk about perspective. We all see the world from our own personal vantage point, based on our own frame of reference. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking what’s obvious to me will be obvious to anyone else looking out at the world. When I get in my car after my son has driven it, I have to move the seat forward and adjust all the mirrors because he’s a lot taller than I am, and literally sees things from a different angle. It would help if we remembered that’s everyone - we all need to be adjusting for our own blind spots, and everyone else’s. This is also a talk about communication, and the value of speaking from your heart even if you have to move through some fear and anxiety to do that. It’s about your relationship with mistakes (yes, you have one) kindness, and the way grief can knock you sideways at any time at all, even while you’re recording a podcast.
