Put your cell phone down and engage!

While at a restaurant the other day, I noticed that 75% of the people were manipulating their cell phones while talking to the other people at their table. This type of activity can really send the message that your company is not worth 100% of your time. Yes, I understand that things might be happening that need your attention, but I’m sure you can sit through your meal without responding to whatever is demanding your attention on your cell phone. Put your phone AWAY while you are at the table and engage in genuine conversation with your company. Is this doable for you or is it a challenge? Be like the dog in the photo 🐕
