Welcome to Discover Fresh Perspectives! I’m David Gouthro and in today’s episode I’m joined by Kathy Jourdain, a seasoned consultant and facilitator from Nova Scotia with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and organizations better understand themselves and each other.

Together, we dive deep into the concept of “worldview”—those invisible lenses that shape how we perceive, communicate, and react to the world around us. Kathy unravels what a worldview truly is, how it is formed through our upbringing, relationships, and environment, and describes a practical six-point framework for examining and even shifting our perspectives.

Through real-life examples, brain science, and insights from years of facilitating transformative conversations, we’ll learn how understanding our own and others’ worldviews can foster awareness, bridge divides, and create more meaningful connections at work and in our communities.

So whether you’re looking to enhance your self-awareness, navigate tough conversations, or simply want to see the world with fresh eyes, this episode is for you. Let’s begin our journey into the fascinating landscape of worldviews!

A Bit About Kathy Jourdain

Kathy Jourdain is a thoughtful facilitator and educator who explores how our unique worldviews shape the way we experience life. Alongside her US-based partner, Kathy began her journey by helping people reflect on the powerful, often unconscious lenses through which we see and relate to the world.

She believes worldviews influence how we communicate, build relationships, and handle conflict, often in ways we don't even realize. Through her work, Kathy encourages individuals to step back, ask deep questions about their own perspectives, and discover how understanding worldviews can lead to greater awareness and connection.
