051 When was the last time you put yourself in someone else's shoes?

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Future Proof Your Business podcast. I'm Lucy Rennie, and in today’s episode I’m exploring the value you can bring to your business by being able to put yourself in your clients' shoes and see things from different perspectives.

Summary:
In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on the unique perspective I bring to my work, shaped by my journey through various experiences. I share insights gained from my level 45 status in the game of life, highlighting the value of diverse experiences in understanding organisations. The key theme revolves around being the middle person, bridging gaps between different perspectives in business. I draw examples from strategic planning, design implementation, and even health and safety considerations.

Key Takeaways:

1. Holistic Decision-Making: The importance of considering diverse perspectives in strategic planning to ensure realistic and effective implementation.
2. Communication is Key: Highlighting the impact of missed communication, even with well-intentioned plans, using examples from different business scenarios.
3. Value in Being the Middle Person: The role of mediating and translating between different aspects of a business to foster understanding and collaboration.
