Tips you can use!
Take your time
During the holiday season, we really do need to remind ourselves to breathe, focus, slow down. If we can learn to savor the moment, and block out all the background noise, we can communicate—and do just about everything else!—more efficiently
and effectively!
Preparation doesn't go on holiday
You may have next to no time to prepare your remarks for that upcoming meeting or quick interview, but you still have to do it! Think of how nice it will be to kick off 2016
not cleaning up messes you made this month because you misspoke and were caught unprepared.
Rethink the sparkle
Wearing sparkles and bling to a party is fine, but resist the impulse to dress too festively during working hours. Save those "message detractors" for after hours. And even at an offsite work party, be judicious about how "fun and flirty" your attire is.
