Most high achievers spend their lives mastering their side of the table—preparing, polishing, striving. But what happens when you switch sides? When you stop practicing only for the audition, for the interview, for the presentation…and step into the seat of the person on the other side?

This week, we're exploring one of the most underrated tools for accelerating your growth, confidence, and clarity: perspective-shifting.

From sitting on audition panels to interviewing other candidates, teaching what you're still learning, and even walking through your own audience or customer experience—putting yourself on the other side gives you information, insight, and confidence you cannot get any other way.

If you're serious about mastery, momentum, and meaningful success, this episode is your blueprint.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why your brain learns faster when you switch roles

• How sitting on the decision-making side sharpens your instincts

• 5 strategies to immediately adopt "the other side" perspective

• The psychological and neuroscience research behind perspective-taking

• How this simple shift builds humility, confidence, and emotional intelligence

This isn't about doing more—it's about seeing more.
