Getting someone involved in what you are doing, whatever that is, who hasn’t done it before, will give you a new perspective on it. This will enable you to look at it differently and maybe do it differently in the future. So, whether it’s getting someone from a partner department to come and work with you for a day or getting a friend to do your fitness workout with you, I’d recommend getting a new perspective with someone else.

It also works the other way of course. By doing something that you usually do with someone new, you also get new ideas and learn. So, you could go to your friend’s favourite bar rather than yours, go shopping for food with someone you don’t know very well, or offer to go and shadow someone doing a similar job somewhere else. You’ll learn a lot about how you do things and how you can do things differently.

How will you get a new perspective today? What will you do with that new learning?
