How to Expand Your Worldview (10/21/2025)

Happy Tuesday!

Last week we promised you a picture of the farm here, and several told me they didn’t get it. Sorry to over-promise and under-deliver! We’ll try again this morning. Fingers crossed….

Lots going on here with announcements of all sorts in the coming week, but today, let me tell you about our next webinar, Seven Signs You Have a Significant Leadership Gap (That You Didn’t Know You Had). It is a free webinar for you and all those who care about getting better results in your organization, and it is November 11 at 2 pm ET. Learn more and register here.

This week I’m sharing a follow-up to last week’s article about our worldview (and specifically how we can broaden it). And I’m talking about what is apparently the latest phrase with our youth – and how it reminds me of much corporate communication.

You are Remarkable!

What the Kids are Saying and How it Relates to Corporate Speak

Chances are if you don’t have kids, you don’t know the latest meme slang. I know I don’t. But I know one of them now. It’s 6-7. (pronounced six seven).

I didn’t learn it from a kid but from the Wall Street Journal, (article here) which is classic for a person my age, I guess.

Apparently whenever someone says the number six and seven together, kids shout “Six Seven!” (Often including some upward hand gestures.) Which, as you might imagine, can cause a challenge for a math teacher.

You might wonder what it means.

Apparently, 6-7 means nothing.

The longer article talks about memes in general and about internet memes as “brain rot.” Perhaps that is true, but I think there is a more pressing thing we can learn from this phrase craze.

How many corporate words do people repeat almost on autopilot, but don’t really know what they mean?

I don’t need to give you the list of words – you know what they are in your organization or industry.

The only difference between the corporate speak and 6-7 is that these words do (or did once) mean something. But the parroting of them without context, and when assuming everyone knows what they mean, ends up being little better than the weird craze of 6-7 that will presumably fade.

Unfortunately, the fuzziness of corporate communication likely won’t get better when a new internet meme passes 6-7 on the hit parade.

But you can make your communication better across your team and organization by using clearer languages, making sure there is context and consistent understanding of the terms you are using. While that effort may not be meme-worthy it will give you less frustration and better results.

How to Expand Your Worldview

Last week I asked you what your worldview is, and today I am giving you advice about how to expand it.

In case you didn’t read last week or click the link above, here’s the bottom line:

Our worldview is what we see when we look at our world: what we notice, what we ascribe value to and how we interpret what we see. And ultimately, our worldview impacts what we think, how we feel, what we talk about, what we do and the choices we make.

Which makes it a big deal.

But our worldview doesn’t have to be fixed – you can expand your worldview, and here are some ways to do it.
