You can’t. You can automate your emails, your blogs, your client on boarding processes… You can use social media to keep up with friends and family… You can even send a video of your dog to a friend in a message. But you still aren’t coming close to the emotional effort that is required (and...

When you see sirens in your rear view mirror, it tends to heighten state. We’ve been conditioned that those flashing lights and those specific noises means something is happening – be alert.
