Hide your smartphone
In one study, scientists looked at how smartphones affect how people communicate.
The results, as expected, were sad: 62 percent of people use their phone during offline conversations: messaging, looking at their social media feeds, or checking notifications.
So here's what I want to get across to you: the brain can't be working on two tasks at the same time. As soon as a person glances at the screen during a conversation, he is already out of the conversation.
Turn off the sound on the phone and hide it at the beginning of the meeting. This is your way of signaling to your conversation partner that you are giving them your full attention and respecting their time.
