The Echo Chamber is a term commonly applied to the social media environment where we are fed the content an algorithm thinks we want to see. There are also offline, real-world echo chambers. They might exist in your organisation. How will you recognise the signs?

An Echo Chamber is a closed system of communication where your existing opinions are played back to you. In an echo chamber, your beliefs are continuously reinforced. Here we can float in our personal comfort zone. We are satiated by consenting opinion and corroborating factoids.

Not hearing the voices of those that oppose you? You’re doing it wrong.

Misused or Reinvented? It's easy to take the high ground.  To snigger behind the back of someone who misuses a word when you know the correct meaning.   In fact, as you scroll down you will see a shot at a very easy target.  Superiority can be a nice place to hang...

A Multipotentialite is one who chooses to pursue and excel in more than more than one field.  Generally the term refers to individuals who are talented in disparate disciplines.  They don’t just operate in multiple areas, they stand out in at least two.

Multipotentialites might be polymaths, generalists, ubermensch, career scanners or renaissance people.  They might have portfolios careers.  Often, they have achieved mastery in seemingly incoherent disciplines.  A negative frame might label the multipotentialite as a dilettante, half-baked. a jack of all trades (master of none).
