1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: I've been a part of sharing the story of NBC's 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,240 The Voice since twenty sixteen, but they've been scattered across 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,919 all the digital platforms. Now all of those conversations are 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,640 in one location. Erro dot net, a RRE dot net. 5 00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:17,199 Look for that voice. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: Hey Sarah, and this is vocal d frag. 7 00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:22,359 Speaker 3: Vocal d fragging is taking the time to ask yourself 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,679 the questions and then question the answers. Did you hear 9 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:31,559 the keyword there, asking yourself the questions. That doesn't mean 10 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,600 you can't go ask a friend questions, but the most 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,119 important part of this journey is asking yourself the questions and. 12 00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: Then questioning the answers. It really does. 13 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,759 Speaker 3: It really does work on your heart and it gives 14 00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:48,280 you a keener sense of vision when it comes. 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,719 Speaker 2: To who am I, Why am I? How am I? 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920 Where am I? This is vocal dfrag. 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: I saw something pretty interesting yesterday that I wish a 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 lot more people would pay attention to. And that is 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,439 when the younger generations are caught up in a conversation, 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,959 I realize at their place of business they are to 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,519 be working. We don't pay people to talk, we pay 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,599 people to do the job. 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,519 Speaker 2: I get that. I totally get them. 24 00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,519 Speaker 3: But what I saw yesterday and what I became aware of, 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,239 was the physical act of co workers communicating. In this 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:32,200 age of texting, face talking on other smartphones, doing whatever 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,280 they do playing video games, these guys were physically face 28 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:42,280 to face having a conversation. That's very rare these days 29 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,560 because I just gave you a list of things that 30 00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:47,879 everybody else is doing. But to have that face to 31 00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:50,680 face time and then to get in a conversation with 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560 my neighbor today who have not seen in months, face 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680 to face time, not on a phone, but physical one 34 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:01,640 on one togetherness. Missing from where we are in this 35 00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:05,040 place of now is this face to face time. Instead 36 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,239 of walking on a path through a beautiful force in 37 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000 South Charlotte and saying, yo, yo, what' so man, and 38 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,319 then keep walking, why don't we start stopping and learning 39 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,039 about each other's journeys, learning about the upside downs, the twist, 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,719 the spins, the stumbles, the trips, the falls, and understanding 41 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,319 that you know, my screw ups in life compared to 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,360 your screw ups, that's kind. 43 00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:29,319 Speaker 2: Of something to laugh about. 44 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: So that's the challenge right now on this particular defrag 45 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:37,479 and that is why aren't we having more face to 46 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,560 face time. Are we really going to let our boss 47 00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,960 tell us I don't pay you to stand around and talk. 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,960 I need you to work. I get their value. I 49 00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:49,960 understand their vision and their reasons for what they do. 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,439 But it kills me though when that boss is then 51 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800 seen two or three minutes later, stuck in a conversation 52 00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,960 talking about volleyball, golf or whatever. But yet, if you 53 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,840 were doing it, get you would get the finger pointed 54 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,680 at you, or the bosses that tell you to get 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,039 off the smartphone. But yet when they walk by you, 56 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:12,159 they've got the smartphone in their hand and they're either 57 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:15,639 texting or they're having a conversation on the phone. Blows 58 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,319 me away. But that's not the subject today. My subject 59 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,840 today is based one hundred percent on face to face time. 60 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,599 They always tell us to take a walk, They always 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,120 tell us to go have a fifteen minute break, what 62 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,159 to be with ourselves. Let me go have fifteen minutes 63 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,599 with somebody that I'm working with, and it's in front 64 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,240 of everybody else, And let's see if that doesn't build 65 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:40,439 up the camaraderie, the teamwork, the adventure, the ethics, the morals. 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,840 When you start learning more about each other. It becomes 67 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:48,639 more of a family. Ask yourself the questions and then 68 00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:49,800 question the answers. 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,639 Speaker 2: I call it vocal D fragging.
