3 Reasons To Make Your Next Meeting Tech Free

Visualize the last meeting you attended. Was one-quarter of the room attentive and listening, while the remaining 75 percent of attendees attempted to act engaged as they shifted focus back and forth from the presenter to their laptops? I found this behavior increasingly common in my own meetings over the past year. While I previously dismissed this common meeting ritual as multitasking, subconsciously I knew that some of these folks were simply bored and catching up on the latest news about Game of Thrones. A few months ago, I decided to put an end to this distraction altogether by making our management and creative meetings tech free.
