Speaker 1: I've been a part of sharing the story of NBC's
The Voice since twenty sixteen, but they've been scattered across
all the digital platforms. Now all of those conversations are
in one location. Erro dot net, a RRE dot net.
Look for that voice.
Speaker 2: Hey Sarah, and this is vocal d frag.
Speaker 3: Vocal d fragging is taking the time to ask yourself
the questions and then question the answers. Did you hear
the keyword there, asking yourself the questions. That doesn't mean
you can't go ask a friend questions, but the most
important part of this journey is asking yourself the questions and.
Speaker 2: Then questioning the answers. It really does.
Speaker 3: It really does work on your heart and it gives
you a keener sense of vision when it comes.
Speaker 2: To who am I, Why am I? How am I?
Where am I? This is vocal dfrag.
Speaker 3: I saw something pretty interesting yesterday that I wish a
lot more people would pay attention to. And that is
when the younger generations are caught up in a conversation,
I realize at their place of business they are to
be working. We don't pay people to talk, we pay
people to do the job.
Speaker 2: I get that. I totally get them.
Speaker 3: But what I saw yesterday and what I became aware of,
was the physical act of co workers communicating. In this
age of texting, face talking on other smartphones, doing whatever
they do playing video games, these guys were physically face
to face having a conversation. That's very rare these days
because I just gave you a list of things that
everybody else is doing. But to have that face to
face time and then to get in a conversation with
my neighbor today who have not seen in months, face
to face time, not on a phone, but physical one
on one togetherness. Missing from where we are in this
place of now is this face to face time. Instead
of walking on a path through a beautiful force in
South Charlotte and saying, yo, yo, what' so man, and
then keep walking, why don't we start stopping and learning
about each other's journeys, learning about the upside downs, the twist,
the spins, the stumbles, the trips, the falls, and understanding
that you know, my screw ups in life compared to
your screw ups, that's kind.
Speaker 2: Of something to laugh about.
Speaker 3: So that's the challenge right now on this particular defrag
and that is why aren't we having more face to
face time. Are we really going to let our boss
tell us I don't pay you to stand around and talk.
I need you to work. I get their value. I
understand their vision and their reasons for what they do.
But it kills me though when that boss is then
seen two or three minutes later, stuck in a conversation
talking about volleyball, golf or whatever. But yet, if you
were doing it, get you would get the finger pointed
at you, or the bosses that tell you to get
off the smartphone. But yet when they walk by you,
they've got the smartphone in their hand and they're either
texting or they're having a conversation on the phone. Blows
me away. But that's not the subject today. My subject
today is based one hundred percent on face to face time.
They always tell us to take a walk, They always
tell us to go have a fifteen minute break, what
to be with ourselves. Let me go have fifteen minutes
with somebody that I'm working with, and it's in front
of everybody else, And let's see if that doesn't build
up the camaraderie, the teamwork, the adventure, the ethics, the morals.
When you start learning more about each other. It becomes
more of a family. Ask yourself the questions and then
question the answers.
Speaker 2: I call it vocal D fragging.
