172. The Dangers of Distraction

Distraction is all around us.  Our phones, social media, television, news outlets....the list goes on and on.  Our work productivity suffers and we don't invest our emotional capital into the relationships around us.  Our society is centered around instant gratification, and the notifications from our phones constantly pull our attention away from the task at hand.  These distractions can, and often do, impact our relationships with our mentees, and that can communicate to them that they aren't a priority in our lives.  John is back this week to deliver a word on the dangers of allowing distraction to enter into our mentoring relationships as well as some practicals on how to eliminate distractions while we invest into the lives of our mentees.
