Judge not!

My November newsletter blog warns against falling into the "speaker's trap" of judging and the fear of being judged.

Tips you can use!

Dress for that interview
Dress codes vary, so sometimes it's hard to know what to wear. Luckily, you can get clues by looking at a company's website, and doing a bit of research to find out the industry standard. Rule of thumb: dress for an interview one notch up from what you think is normally worn in the workplace.

Turn on your grammar check
But don't rest assured that it will catch everything. If you are on shaky ground when it comes to parallel construction or noun-verb agreement, ask someone who is more of a grammar buff to look over your text before you speak. Just because it "sounds right" to you doesn't mean it is!

Tried and true works
Sometimes things have been done the same way over and over are dismissed too quickly as hackneyed and trite. A classic formula, like the "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them," is used because it works.
