In a digital-first world, it’s easy to lose sight of the power and relevance that face-to-face communication still holds. Emails and text messages are our go-to ways of connecting with one another, and person-to-person contact is dwindling as more people find themselves interacting with the likes of Alexa and Siri.

And, while such means of communicating––emails, text messages and chat bots––certainly serve their purpose in the right situations, the importance of in-person communication still holds true.
