"You're on mute," is a phrase said in offices, schools, and other types of meeting calls across the globe. It is especially prevalent during the global COVID pandemic.
During a conversation with friends this week, it occurred to me that this phrase can be used metaphorically.
When someone is on mute and they are attempting to speak, no one can hear them.
It reminds me of the many times someone is speaking audibly but their message is not being received, perhaps due to the way the message is being delivered.
I wrote something similar to this a few years back regarding my theories on why some people do not listen when you speak. During these times you are, metaphorically, on mute.
Check it out and let me know if anything from my prior post stands out in your personal or professional life.
Looking forward to reading your feedback!
