This past weekend, we suffered the loss of a colleague at our
company. It got me thinking about how I
had interacted with this individual over the past year. Probably 75% of the interactions were via email,
a social media platform – LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
However, in retrospect, I’ve realized the electronic channel
of communication has limitations and it seems I took for granted the importance
of picking up the phone, meeting for lunch… the true personal touches which
mean so much given today’s fast-paced society.
So as we post on LinkedIn information about business, as we
post to Facebook about our kids, as we post to Twitter about our immediate
thoughts…let us not forget we are human first and picking up that phone,
meeting for lunch is more important now than ever.
