"I also had an amazing experience in the exercise Walking in Someone Else's Shoes. I learned that I could relate to someone I barely knew by focusing my undivided attention on them for 10 minutes." - Kathryn Yost, arts administrator

Walking in Someone Else’s Shoes
Experience compassion

Walking in someone's shoes is both easier and harder than it looks. A true POWERS of TEN experience! The concept is easy to grasp - imitating someone else's walk, the application is the challenge. How you think differently because you have altered your own natural movement is enlightening and often surprising. This exercise causes you to become more mindful of the way you carry yourself. The way you give to and receive from others heightens manifold. Walking in someone else's shoes can transform any relationship – partners in business or life, parent/child, employer/employee, and so forth – in less than 10 minutes......

"My name is Judy Weber. I am a nurse and have worked in many different fields of nursing in the past several years. I attended the powers of 10 seminar and was really impressed by what I learned from the essential life skill lessons that were taught. What I received from the listening workshop was and continues to be of great value to me. The experience I had was of being listened to in a way I had not experienced before. I realized that I wanted to be that way for other people. In my professional field, people have a need to explain what they are experiencing in their physical body as well as emotionally. It is essential that people be heard correctly even when they are not able to find all the right words to express their experiences. Being misunderstood can mean that they are not treated with the most effective medication or diagnosed correctly. I learned that the key to effective communication is simply undivided attention. Practicing this skill when gathering information and asking questions has changed my experience with the clients I serve. My awareness of myself and my relationships with others continues to expand in ways I did not expect. I recommend this workshop to anyone in the medical profession."
