Nah, people falls somewhere on the adhd spectrum and people further in on that will have a harder time focusing when a big thing is coming up. That isn't a skill you train, but a thing you are born with. You can make it look like you are less distracted, and it isn't like managers notice your productivity, but you can't really be less distracted. You can however practice a specific thing so it no longer feels like a big deal. If you have gone to a thousand meetings then having another one wont be distracting. But most software engineers don't do enough management work to get over that hurdle.
