Filters

Sometimes people just don’t believe it. It’s because they see from their filter. Years ago I realized the impact that 23 flavors (Dr. Pepper) had on waistline and I had to make a change. However, bad coffee was not the answer. Then one day I tasted the glory of great coffee and my whole perspective shifted. Now - during a training, I try to let people know about great coffee (French Press) as well as how to be great leaders. Pam put out a challenge to me. She said - “next session make us French Press coffee”. Challenge accepted. The picture above is Laura doing her first ever press. Then … it happened … they realized what they hadn’t ever before. They realized French Press is the greatest way to brew coffee.

Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know. I think it’s important to remember that we don’t know what we don’t know.

Obviously, it’s easy to see that a French Press, Keurig, drip, and pour over are all different ways to brew coffee. Different filters give you different ways to taste the same type of coffee.

Well .. I have my own filter for communicating and making decisions. Just like you have yours. The SDI 2.0 helps us see everyone’s filter in a data-driven way. We map out the filters of everyone you work with and put that information at the tip of your fingers. This is a game changer for anyone wanting to improve their communication and leadership. Great leaders can see from the filters of everyone they work with and then tailor their communication so others can understand them.

Who knows … when you learn to see from someone else’s perspective and filter you might realize they were right. It’s hard to admit, but if Pam and Laura can admit it - so can you!

Learn to see from someone’s filter today.
