Professional Etiquette by Mindy Yang

By Mindy Yang

Professional etiquette is the unwritten key to any individual’s success in the workplace. While different professions require slightly different variations, the standard code of professional etiquette applies everywhere. Not only will this code help you become employed, but it will further assist you in reaching higher opportunities within your company.

· When being introduced to a fellow colleague, one should always stand up. While giving them a firm handshake, you should always introduce yourself by your full name along with a smile.

· It is crucial for one to be always respectful to everyone in in the workplace. By always treating others with respect, this causes them to treat you in the same manner. Not only does this create an enjoyable work environment, but it causes others to view you as a respectable and liked coworker. In real life scenarios, it is impossible to please everyone and arguments between you and a coworker may arise. But those moments are when it is more necessary to hold and carry out your professional etiquette.

· When handling unpleasant conversations between colleagues or clients, make sure to always speak in a low and calm tone. By trying to speak at the same level as someone who is angry, it will only cause the situation to become worse. By speaking in a lower volume, it shows that you are trying to handle situation in a calm and rational way.

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2.
