It hard to have a conversation these days. Everyone is so distracted. 如今的社会想要安心交谈很难。大家都思想不集中。 Interruptions, multi-tasking, and technology distract us from having even the simplest of conversations. How do you ensure that you are present when you are having a conversation? 各种干扰、同时处理多项任务和一些科技产品让我们不能安心交谈，甚至最简短的交谈也不例外。你怎么能保证交谈时心无旁骛? I once worked for a boss that wasn’t a good listener. One day, I was in his office for a one-on-one meeting. Before the meeting even got started his phone rang, and he proceeded to talk to a friend for 10 minutes while I sat there. A few minutes into the meeting his was reading incoming emails on his computer screen. Then, a couple of minutes later a colleague appeared in the doorway. Instead of saying he was busy, he proceeded to discuss his weekend adventures. 我以前的一个老板就不是一个善于倾听的人。有一天，我在他办公室与他一对一交谈。在交谈开始前他的电话就响了，他跟朋友一直聊了10分钟，而我坐在那儿等。交谈开始后的几分钟里，他一直盯着电脑屏幕，阅读接收到的邮件。又过了几分钟 一位同事出现在门口。他没有说他在忙，而是转入关于周末探险的讨论。 How would this situation make you feel? “Don’t let the phone, interruptions, or other work take precedence over the person sitting front of you.” |
