Etiquette
and Protocol Questions and Answers
Question: I am concerned about my
introduction skills and feel awkward about greeting strangers. How
can I become more comfortable with introductions?
Answer: Stand in
front of a mirror and introduce two imaginary persons, looking first at
one as you say her name and then at the other as you say his name.
You may also record yourself and listen for intonations, word usage,
pace and flaws you wish to eliminate. Repeat this procedure until
you're comfortable with introductions. Remember, take your time
and don't rush. Practice, practice, practice!
Question: How can I politely
handle a yawn during a conversation?
Answer: Apologize by blaming your
yawn on lack of sleep, even when boredom is the cause.
Question: I was
invited to lunch by a woman associate and felt uncomfortable when she
reached for the check and paid it by credit card.
Even though she invited me, I was prepared to pay.
Was I wrong to make this assumption?
Answer: Yes, you were indeed wrong. Either gender may pay for a meal. The determining factor is
who invited whom.
