Episode summary introduction:
During this episode of Electronic Walkabout we take some license from a Post Malone, Morgan Wallen song “I had some help”. The song laments that a failed relationship is not one sided and it truly takes two to tangle or in this case, untangle. It is far from easy to see both sides of the story impartially. Today we journey to a mountain to discover the challenge of seeing things from another's perspective and how invaluable it is.
Good News Story:
We share a beautiful story about 3 college students in Germany who showed the world just how selfless their generation can be through a beautiful video that went viral and has touched the hearts of millions since. The students surprise a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk with a gorgeous instrumental and vocal performance when they handed him the money they collected from passers-by.

Topics discussed in this episode:
Looking at both perspectives is really just a matter of putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes. In order to do this we explore some pointed questions:
- Why is it so hard for people to see this perspective?
- Coming to terms with the fact that you may have caused the issue.
- How to meet in the middle on the road to compromise.
- The influence of emotions.
- Ensuring sincerity.
- Knowing when to move on.
Walkabout takeaways:
If truly you care about taking responsibility for a part your played in something that has gone down the wrong path consider this:
- We all make mistakes and most mistakes can be fixed if the desire is there.
- The ability for us to look at other’s way of thinking expands the way we look at things and makes it easier to deal with similar issues in the future.
- When doing this, engage in active listening and make sure that you understand what the person is telling you.
- When doing this, never judge the person.
- This includes showing empathy with respect to how the other individual is feeling. This can pay dividends in showing that you are serious about your intentions.
- Apologize, if you think it is right for you. This means for your action but this also must be with sincerity.
