Pay attention and be present

When you're in a meeting, out to dinner with friends or listening to someone speak, turn off the phone, don't check your email or facebook page. Stand out and be present.
I know it's difficult not to be distracted these days with a plethora of devices to keep us occupied; emails,texts, updates and phone calls come through at all hours; and we all think we have to multitask to feel efficient and productive.
The number one complaint I hear at work is; while in a meeting with my boss he kept checking his email, he wasn't even listening to me, I am so frustrated.
or, I can't believe how rude he was checking his phone every 10 seconds while they were speaking...Sound familiar?
Stand out and be present
