What I Learned Today: Volume 1

STOP LOOKING AT YOUR CRACKBERRY, I PHONE, HANDHELD GADGET
AKA: HUGE DISTRACTION
First hand experience during a very important presentation:
In the work world take a second, minute, even an hour to give someone your full undivided attention because:
- They will respect you more
- You will understand their idea/ vision/ pitch/ request
- You will become a valued and indispensable employee
- And because it's just the RIGHT and polite thing to do
Trust me, I love being attached to my phone just as much as the next girl or boy, but there is a time when you need to just flip it to silence and deal. When in serious business meetings pay attention and listen! Show your co-workers and more importantly your boss why they hired you. When the presentation is all done; Get back to work so it won’t even look like you skipped a beat.
