Perspective-taking

The Two Chair Perspective Shift

10 minutes

Step into someone else's shoes — literally — by physically switching chairs and arguing their side.

  1. 1Place two chairs facing each other.
  2. 2Sit in chair A. Speak your side of a recent disagreement out loud for 2 minutes.
  3. 3Switch to chair B. Speak as the other person — using 'I' not 'they'.
  4. 4Switch back. Notice what feels different now.
  5. 5Write one sentence about what changed.
