Did you know, on average, we check our phones around 221 times everyday? Then when you throw into the mix we are also exposed to around 10,000 brand messages a day, it’s fair to say we now live in a world of interruptions.
With the above in mind, something magical happens when you allow people to finish their sentences. Next time you’re in a meeting, see how many times attendees are allowed to finish what they are saying. It won’t be a lot. This simple sign of respect is a real game changer because it shows you are interested in what others have to say, it means you have all the information to hand and it uncovers ‘nuggets’ that would otherwise be lost to an interruption or a change in subject.
Give it a go and let us know how you get on in the comments section below…
