One of Our first "AWARE!-isms"...get off the phone!

Most of us spend a large portion of our day with our cell phones glued to our ears...Sad, but true!

In this world of multi-tasking, it's tempting to use "wasted" moments to connect via phone. People chat while driving, walking, shopping (pet peeve of mine!), waiting in airports, -- anything not to waste time being idle, or focusing on only one task! Unfortunately, we simply cannot be aware of what's going on around us while engaged in a phone call, especially if we're attempting to do something else at the same time!

Here's an example:

You're on your way to find your car in a lot, after a meeting or presentation. You're on the phone as you walk, absorbed in an important call. You have a long line of parked cars on either side of you as you walk through the lot. You use your automatic door opener to unlock your car, not looking up as you hold the opener toward the car. You don't see the person hidden next to your car, waiting for the doors to open...

You see where I'm going with this! This type of scenario is all too common, and potentially can be avoided -- what could you do differently?

Learn more about becoming AWARE! at our next seminar -- details TBA!

AWARE! podcast coming soon!
