You have 1-on-1 with your boss, proudly presenting results of your work or having close conversation with decision makers - and see your audience clearly ignorant and passionately engaged in jerking their mobile devices.

And i'm not talking about you giving boring one-to-many talk at a conference or trying to get attention at a crowded meeting with many irrelevant personalities.

I am talking about behavior of your superiors where they asked (and invested) in a first place for you to deliver/explain/present/convince something in a closed, interactive way where their attention is a key to achive the intended goal of an interaction.

Any interesting ways to deal with quiet disrespect and ignorant behavior from someone who is not used to be scolded for ignorant behavior?
