Your phone could be sending wrong signals. I’m not talking about a mysterious text or an accidental call. Instead of removing them, the ideal way might be to create communication blocks. If you want to make sure you present yourself in an equally professional and accessible way, there is a way to use your smartphone.
Some Common Communication Mistakes to Avoid
The amount of communication is supposed to be in the spoken or written word. It is because the interaction takes place via Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, or text. The reality is that our body language contributes. So the ultimate question is, how did technology change the world? Yes, technology is influencing everyone. And it is essential to understand it.
