You probably wouldn't bring a letter opener and the daily postal delivery to your meeting.

You probably wouldn't sort junk mail.

You probably wouldn't take out stationary to write a letter.

You probably wouldn't open up a yearbook or photo album.

Yet during meetings, we see people reading email.

We see people scrolling social media feeds.

They sit down to check in, and then pull out their phones to check out.

Don’t forget: your attention is important to us. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have invited you.
