Learning Perspective

I’ve been spending a lot of time the last little while, learning perspective in drawing. First off, it’s a crazy number of lines.  I mean, there are lines everywhere and you wonder how anything you create is going to turn out. But then, once you’ve designed the grid, laid it out, put it together, and start adding your own components on top of it. Then the value of all those little lines comes together and becomes something. All that work to establish the layout, to understand what each position does – it’s truly amazing.

What you Bring to your Team?

Everyone brings the same thing to their teams. Skills, Attitude, and Effort. Skills – whatever your job is. Attitude – how you treat people and act when things go wrong.

“I didn’t say that…” But that’s how it was interpreted. There is always room for confusion in individual conversations but if all your conversations are being misinterpreted then there are two problems; Your audience is not listening; they only hear what they want to hear, regardless of what you want to say. You’re not being clear. Both can be fixed. Change your audience, and clear up your words.
