But the science behind this phenomenon dovetailed nicely with my feature topic this month:  What is your point of view?  Your eyes and brain literally see this in your own unique way.

My trip to California was also starkly illustrative:

Back in New York City, they were suffering another snowstorm, but I was luxuriating in the perfect Southern California weather.

Since returning to the East Coast, temperatures in the 40's and 50's feel like springtime---but in California this weather would be considered frigid! 

Working with a young job hunter last week, he emailed me his resume---the document title was "resume.doc."  Oops.  This is the classic perspective problem!!  The person sending the resume know who it belongs to, but NOT the recipient!  All resumes should have your name as their title so they make sense to the employer! 

California also showed me my own blind spot:  when people went to my scheduler to sign up for coaching exploration calls, all the open slots were at 6am PT!  See, I'm a morning person and my morning availabilities were at times that were wildly impractical for anyone on the West Coast.  Duh.  Why didn't I see it before? 

I had an East Coast orientation and did not think about anyone else's time zone perspective.  So I added some afternoon slots!  Easy as pie, once I thought of it.

Could you use some perspective shifting?  A coach can be a big help!  Sign yourself up for a free 45-minute coaching exploration call (take one of those new afternoon slots!)
