Don't distract

Be careful not to distract the listener from your main message. Particularly in this busy, busy world the attention constantly shifts to anything new/fresh. Ensure that is just you.

At your presentation ensure there are no 'left-overs' from previous presenters e.g. hand-outs which will distract.

At your interview ensure your dress is perfect so as not to have them concerned as to why you chose that tie or who on Earth gave you a hair-do like that.

At your quarterly review, keep your notes out of view so your team-member doesn't start reading them up-side down.

At the team meeting, give out the doughnuts in the final 10 minutes when the main work has been done and the meeting is ending on a high.

Yep, don't distract.
