communicationHow do you deal with today’s short attention spans? Connie Dieken, author of “Talk Less, Say More” says we need to apply three habits in this article excerpted from www.cnbc.com.

THE results of a survey of 400 business leaders were nearly unanimous: 99% of businesspeople agree that attention spans are shorter today than three years ago and this is having a damaging effect on communication skills. Multitasking was selected by 93% of survey respondents as the leading cause of today’s declining skills.

This confirms what you’ve been experiencing both in the workplace and in your personal life. People are not paying attention as you speak—they’re quick to pull the trigger and tune you out.

It takes just three habits to conquer this 21st century communication challenge: connect, convey, convince. Connect: Capture people’s attention by giving them what they want and value so they’ll tune in.
