Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated
world As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions
vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and
understood-to convey our messages-is also threatened. Whether
working with our teams and customers or communicating with our
families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through
the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the
ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often
"multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at
once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an
audience requires an intentional approach. This increased strain on
attention has never been more clear than during the global
pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family
life. What are our options when facing professional communications
at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the
dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using
digital communications to our advantage-how can we facilitate
information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are
overwhelmed with content? Drawing from fifteen years of research,
interviews, and experience from teaching students and executives,
Jeanine W. Turner offers a framework to navigate social presence at
work and at home. By exploring four primary communication
choices-budgeted, entitled, competitive, and invitational-Turner
shows when and where to employ each strategy to most effectively
allocate our attention and command the attention of others. Each
chapter includes concrete strategies and concludes with reflection
questions and exercises to help readers further explore these
decisions in professional and personal relationships.
