TAKEAWAY:

Choose your perception

The way you perceive others directly affects how you treat and communicate with them. By choosing to alter your beliefs about someone, you can go from having a miserable relationship to a happier, more productive one following three simple steps.

1. Acknowledge the power of your perception- the way you see things/people shapes your reality and the relationships you have

2. Use that power to change things- you're half of the equation in any relationship so start seeing others as the winners you want them to be

3. Act on your new belief- treat that person like the valuable (kind, helpful, etc) co-worker you believe they are
