The fact is, little things do count when they represent an extension of your brand. Most CEOs I have worked with carry a pen that is commensurate with their level, especially when signing important documents. And preferably black ink when signing anything official. Valerie

Comment on Tips on Listening…I mean, REALLY Listening! by Valerie Sokolosky

You are right! Adding to this, one of the facts of life today is that many people are addicted to their PDA. Just this week a colleague told me about a client who could hardly carry on an intelligent conversation at lunch because he kept getting “dinged” with messages. Instead of turning it off, he continued to check them out. I call that rude! And unfortunately, there was nothing my colleague could have said graciously to ask him to LISTEN instead of getting so distracted. So the message is – let PDA’s keep us connected, but not keep us from connecting!
