‫One of the chapters I find fascinating is letting your radar distract you.

‫Can you share what do we mean by that?

‫Well, Marshall, in the last book I wrote The Female Vision, I learned doing the research that, in

‫fact, there are very, very real differences in how men and women's attention or notice is engaged.

‫Women's brains are processing more information at the same time, whereas men are operating more like

‫laser are going on from one point to the next.

‫This can have great value in organizations being able to notice and read the room.

‫Notice what how other people are reacting, et cetera.

‫But it can also, on your leadership journey, undermine you because you're taking in a lot of information.

‫You can get distracted from the main point.

‫I think it's one of the things that can result in women not being as concise as they could be because

‫they feel like they're getting a lot of information and they have to share it.

‫And if they're talking to a laser noticer, that laser noticer isn't necessarily going to value or even

‫understand are going to think, what is she talking about?

‫So being able to discipline your radar is a great skill for women, not suppress it, because there's

‫a lot of information out there that's very valuable to being able to discipline.

‫It is important not letting your radar distract you.

‫And again, because if I'm the person in the room, I might look at you and feel she is being distracted.

‫She's not focused on me, for example.

‫And that is going to take away from your influence over me if I am the powerful authority figure in

‫that room.

‫Excellent.

‫Excellent example.

‫Exactly.

‫Thank you.
