Interdisciplinary Resonance is a term I use for making sure that when you sit at the table, you – the manager, the designer, engineer, facilitator, leader or design thinker are capable of speaking the same language and embodying the same feelings that others are using to interpret your message.
Acting from isolation, while looking like you are collaborating, is not only confusing but counter-productive to the flow of the communication. Resonance, on the other hand, is a felt sense that we are only part, albeit an essential part, of the formula for successful communication. The other person is, of course, as important. Each of these crucial elements, self and other, needs to self-adjust and self-maintain to ensure that we participate in equal measure so that our communication is successful.
