Do you read me?

That question's taken on a new meaning in communication. Texting, particularly with young people, has brought "clutter" levels to all-time highs. And each one of those texts is another piece of clutter that your message has to compete with and break through in order to be heard.

A study says that high school students send an average of 440 texts per week, including 110 while in school, an average of three texts PER CLASS PERIOD. You can assume that college students' texting habits are similar. As the technology becomes even more commonplace and as these young people age to become a part of the workplace, their texting habits and tendencies will come along with them.

Those texting secretly during class now will be texting secretly during meetings soon. Those texting now to cheat on tests, more than one-third of the high schoolers surveyed admitted cheating with a cell phone, might be leaking company secrets and proprietary announcements soon. Regardless, they WILL be distracted while you're trying to reach them in meetings, during sales calls, and through speeches and presentations.

That's why it's even more critical now for you to practice the keys to effective communication that you'll learn in your "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar. As the clutter (your message's competition) increases, your skill at breaking through it needs to increase.
