[Music] it's about to give you a way you can be more effective as a leader and happier as a person in general and you're gonna tell me oh that's really challenging to do but if you can do it i promise you it'll make you that much more effective and that's to be fully present with whom you're with when you're with them it's a mouthful someone repeat it be fully present with whom you're with when you are with them so that means when you are in a meeting and you are coaching someone or working with them on a project not to have your mind wandering to this other initiative or this other fire you should be working on or something happening at home in your personal life or when you're on vacation and you're with your family or your friends you're not wandering and thinking about things back at the office that when you're on vacation you're truly on vacation and present with your family when you're in the office and with someone working on something you're fully present with them in that moment on what you're working on and not something else um it sounds simple it's extremely challenging it's one of the hardest things uh for any individual leader to do but just imagine how much more effective you would be if you were fully present in those moments and fully focused and just if you could just do that one percent better five percent better ten percent better how much more effective as an individual be and how much happier would you be not having your mind split between multiple things that you're trying to think through and accomplish and juggle frankly so just spend time thinking about how can you be more present with the people you're with when you're with them and see what you can do to improve that just a little bit and how much happier and more effective it makes you as a leader [Music]
