Welcome back to

“Irresistible Communication”.

2

Two minutes, twice a week.

3

No nonsense advice on

leadership communication.

4

For all of you who are still looking for

that last minute idea for a Christmas

5

present, today, we're unpacking a

gift that doesn't need rapping, but

6

is one of the most precious of all.

7

The gift of being present.

8

In our fast paced world,

undivided attention has become

9

a rare commodity, doesn't it?

10

Yet, it's exactly what creates

memorable and meaningful

11

experiences with our loved ones.

12

Being truly present, listening, deeply,

engaging wholeheartedly, that's a gift

13

that goes beyond any material offering.

14

So, this holiday season, why to try this.

15

Silence your phone, put it away,

and resist the urge to check it.

16

Be there, not just in body,

but in spirit and attention.

17

Immerse yourself in conversations and

try to see things from their perspective.

18

And allow the natural flow of dialogue.

19

Don't rush.

20

And give each topic the space

and time to unfold beautifully.

21

And when your mind wanders, as minds often

do, then just gently guid it back to the

22

moment, to the person in front of you.

23

This practice of mindful

presence is not just a gift to

24

others, but also to ourselves.

25

This Christmas, let's give the gift that

truly matters our undivided attention.

26

It requires no shipping, no wrapping.

27

And yet, it's priceless.

28

So, as you gather with your family

and friends savor each moment.

29

Listen, laugh and be fully there.

30

After all, these moments are what we

cherish long after the holiday lights dim.

31

Merry Christmas.

32

Keep lighting the path and

share this with a friend.
