What is the mirroring exercise?

The mirroring exercise, as discussed by Scott Belsky on Tim Ferriss Show, involves participants pairing up and sharing what they observe in each other. This isn't about physical appearances but focuses on behavioral and emotional perceptions. For example, one might say, "I see you are sometimes unsure if you have the right to speak." The exercise aims for heartfelt, non-judgmental sharing that highlights insecurities and blind spots participants might not realize they have 1.

Participants typically have several minutes to share feedback with each other, rotating through different pairings. This can lead to profound personal insights and a better understanding of how others perceive them, which can be quite impactful in both personal and professional contexts 1.
