How did you feel?Īs a professional coach, I’ve learned how important it is to avoid being distracted by my own thoughts in order to be present with another person. And I walked away both times feeling deflated. I also felt that the information I was sharing was not important enough. In both of these experiences, I felt disconnected with the person.

For example, recently I was talking to a colleague while several people were moving and interacting around us. I have also experienced another’s lack of presence in a work setting. I realized my spouse was not fully present with me at the moment. I know at times I have shared something with my spouse that I was really excited about or thought was very important and did not get the response I was looking for-or any response at all-with the computer or television taking precedence.
