The Wiring Gap™: The Other Side

Every signal we send passes through another person's unique wiring before it lands. That interpretation layer shapes every professional relationship we have.

But it runs in both directions.

Every signal others send passes through our wiring, too. Our work motivations, our natural approach to decisions, and our initial orientation at work all shape what we receive. Which means the same gap that causes others to misread us is also causing us to misread them.

Not intentionally, but subconsciously, because our wiring does not feel like a lens. It feels like reality. And when it feels like reality, our assumptions feel like observations. We rarely stop to examine the difference.

In this episode, Leslie Ferry opens a new series dedicated entirely to the other side of The Wiring Gap™. Not the gap others have with you. The gap you have with them.

In this episode:

  • Why our own wiring is the hardest lens to see
  • How two different work motivations can misread each other without either person doing anything wrong
  • Why data-driven thinkers can be read as challenging when they are simply seeking clarity
  • What happens when we read an action in isolation rather than seeing a whole person
  • How curiosity changes not just the read but the relationship
  • Why getting curious before landing on a view becomes instinctive over time, and what that unlocks

The thinking in these episodes is designed to provoke a question. Zandra is built to help you answer it — personally, in the context of your own work: zandra.app/insight
