Do Not Disturb

We often sabotage our own communication efforts by allowing interruptions. If the message you are sharing is important, set up your environment so you can be fully present. Close the door and put your telephone on “do not disturb”. Let people know that it is your policy to be out of bounds when you are in focused conversation with someone else. If you really have to “take this one call” this is not a time to try communicating with someone else.
