Helping clients to change their perspective can make a big difference in their lives as sometimes people only focus on the negative aspect of a situation. By changing their perspective, a client can be helped to see a positive outcome and remove the limits they have placed upon themselves.

I can remember experiencing a change in perspective the first time I had to give a 50 minute presentation in front of my class at University. On the morning of the presentation I kept worrying about what would happen if I messed up, forgot what I was saying or sounded like I didn’t know what I was talking about! As it goes, the presentation went very well and I was told by several classmates that they really enjoyed it and some even asked for copies of my slides and notes to help them revise the subject. After that, my perspective changed. No longer did I give time to the “what if” scenarios, I had a positive reference of when I did a great presentation and the feeling of that day is what I anchor myself to every time I am required to do any public speaking. My perspective of public speaking is now excitement as opposed to fear.
