Hello! We just got back from a trip to sunny California. From the beaches, to the mountains, to the city, and everything in between it was fantastic! One thing we kept noticing was how many people were glued to their phones. We'd be sitting in a meadow looking up at Yosemite's breathtaking El Capitan, or at a dinner table, or anywhere else . . and the majority of people were staring at their phones.

Real communication versus constant connection

We’re always just a text or notification away from someone. But here’s the thing: Being connected doesn’t always mean we’re communicating.

We’ve all been there — having a conversation with someone who’s only half-listening while scrolling through their phone. Or maybe we're the one guilty of splitting our attention between a conversation and whatever just popped up on our screen.

Real communication happens when we’re fully present, giving someone our time, focus, and most importantly, our undivided attention. It’s not about being constantly available to every buzz of our phone, but about truly connecting with those around us, distraction-free.

So, here’s a challenge: The next time you’re with someone, try putting the phone down (all the way down!) and see what happens. You might just find the kind of connection that no app can give you.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into how powerful real communication can be — both in your personal life and relationships — I’d love to help! Let’s schedule a one-on-one coaching session to explore how improving communication can enhance your connections.

I'm looking forward to chatting with you (distraction-free, of course)!
