  2. What Not to Say About Someone's Appearance! • Don’t say: “You look tired.” Why: It implies she doesn’t look good. Instead say: “Is everything OK?” We often blurt the “tired” comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask. • Don’t say: “You look good for your age.” Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying, "You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."Instead say: “You look great.” • Don’t say: “That’s not my job.”Why: If your superior asks you to do something, it is your job.Instead say: “I’m not sure that should be my priority right now.” Then have a conversation with your boss about your responsibilities.

  3. Cont'd • Don’t say: “This might sound stupid, but…”Why: Never undermine your ideas by prefacing your remarks with wishy-washy language.Instead say: “ What’s on your mind?” It reinforces your credibility to present your ideas with confidence. • Don’t say: “I don’t have time to talk to you.”Why: It’s plain rude, in person or on the phone.Instead say: “I’m just finishing something up right now. Can I come by when I’m done?” Graciously explain why you can’t talk now, and suggest catching up at an appointed time later. Let phone calls go to voice mail until you can give callers your undivided attention.

  4. Conversation Practice! • These types of introductions involve three people: • Anna: The introducer (who knows both Johan and Lisa) • Johan: Introducee (knows Anna but not Lisa) • Lisa: Introducee (knows Anna but not Johan) • Example, • Anna: Have you two met each other? • Johan: No, we haven't. • Anna: Johan, this is Lisa. Lisa, this is Ben. • (Johan and Lisa smile and shake hands.) • Johan: Nice to meet you Lisa. • Lisa: Nice to meet you too, Johan.

  5. Cont'd • Follow-up: • After you have been introduced to someone, • it is polite to ask a few general questions* to get acquainted. • For example, • Johan: Where are you from, Lisa? • Lisa: I'm from Perak. • Johan: Perak, which part? • Lisa: Ipoh, the capital. How about you, Johan? • Johan: Owh I see, I've been there twice. • Lisa: How do you know Anna? • Johan: She is my friend from college.

  6. Cont'd • Practice introducing your friends to each other. • Remember to smile (and use handshakes where appropriate). • *When meeting someone for the first time, • it is not appropriate to ask certain types of questions. • -VIDEO-
