During the listening process, our brains arbitrarily filter out, or reconfigure the uncomfortable, unknown, or confusing, to make what’s been said match something we’re more familiar with. And it fails […]
The growth of alternative messaging systems for business has been remarkable. Startups like Slack reaching multi-billion dollar valuations nearly overnight and established companies like Facebook investing similar amounts into developing a platform dedicated to intra-organizational communications are fueling the drive toward new forms of communication.
