When I work with people on coaching calls, I always find out that they have no details about people and happenings around them, even if they were part of the happening.
Why? Because they weren’t present.
When you talk to someone, you want to be present to the conversation, to your hunches, to your feelings, to the tone of voice, the breathing, the mannerisms of the other person. Like a camera.
Then, when you are on your own, you can ponder about what that means.
Being present, being able to command your attention at will is very important.
