    • What do you mean by listening filters?

      That’s a fair question! Here are some real-life examples of what I mean by listening filters:

      Filtering through Language and Jargon:

      During a technical meeting, a software engineer used specialized jargon that a new employee was not familiar with. As a result, they struggled to understand the explanations and missed crucial details about a project’s technical requirements.

      Filtering by Stereotyping

      A senior leader stereotyped a particular generation as being less tech-savvy and dismissed valuable insights from a younger team member about a new technology, underestimating their expertise. It wasn’t until a colleague expressed excitement about the tech that the senior leader realized what they’d missed.

      Filtering by Past Experiences

      Judy had an ongoing conflict with a particular team member. Every time the team member engaged with her she braced herself for conflict and heard their suggestions with skepticism and defensiveness, even although the input was constructive and relevant.
