Examples of Perspective Taking

Scenario-1: You are having a conversation with a friend who is going through a difficult time.

Instead of immediately offering advice, you can practice active listening - take a moment to think about the problem from their perspective. Acknowledge their emotions by using phrases like, "I can see that you’re really upset".

Scenario-2: You are working on a team project with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Instead of assuming that your way of doing things is the only correct way, you actively seek to understand and respect the cultural perspectives of your teammates.
