@conflictish: Distractions will always be in the room. The key isn’t pretending they don’t exist, but in deciding what deserves your focus. Like an orchestra, you can’t follow every sound in the room. As communicators, your conductor is your conscience. It reminds you of your purpose, your message, and your audience. So when the noise rises, don’t let it pull you off tempo. Listen to your conductor, and play your part well. #distraction #interpersonalcommunication #communicationskills #conflictresolution #conflictmanagement
