tips from a life coach

Take your sunglasses off if you’re talking to someone on the street. It’s a sign of respect because more eye contact is just as important as your speech.

NEVER interrupt another person!

Expand your vocabulary. You will look smarter. But not to the point of seeming elitist.

If you are working/studying and you can’t stop being distracted by your phone, turn it off and put it in another room.

If your friend pays the bill now, you pay it next time. If your friend does you a favor, you owe him one.

You can win someone’s heart by praising them in a group, it works like magic.

Always open the door for the person behind you. It doesn’t matter who it is. You don’t look small for treating someone well in public.

When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what comes next.

Mind your own business unless something directly involves you – just stay neutral and out of it.

Treat the janitor or waiter with the same respect as the manager. No one is impressed by how rudely you can treat someone below you, but people will notice if you treat them with respect.

Never give advice until you are asked to.

Praise publicly. Criticize privately.

Can’t think of what to give someone for their birthday or as a gift? Tell them you already have a gift and to guess what it is. They’ll give you some ideas of what they want.

If you borrowed money, give it back before the other person remembers borrowing it. It shows your integrity and character. This applies to umbrellas, pens and books.
