Title: Looking at things from another’s perspective By using perceptual positioning you can explore an event from a different perspective, this process enables you to step back from your own mental map and get a distance from any emotions attached to it. You can also use it to explore another’s map, gaining an insight into their thought processes. When you use the third position you can review a meeting/situation to gain insight into what happened, looking at it as onlooker. This is also a great position for becoming your own coach.
