PLB'S Urban Living- Professional Etiquette




The Pastor Lams Blog "Urban Living" posts will touch on a number of contemporary and godly ways to live life more effectively and excellently. With topics ranging from "Professional Etiquette" to "Living Green". Get ready to be swooned into God's new ways of doing things😍.


PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE

Wikipedia.org defines etiquette “as a code of behaviour that delineates expectations for social behaviour according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class or group”.

Etiquette is the fine art of behaving in front of others. It is more than just which fork you should use or how to act in certain situations; etiquette is about acting appropriately in everyday life. Some manners and behaviour remain constant:  saying please and thank you, chewing with your  mouth closed, articulating and not mumbling. Nevertheless, other etiquette moments require you to conduct yourself differently  than you do when you are with a group of your friends at the  neighbourhood pub. It is in these moments that you need to understand the particulars of etiquette. (Rose-Hulman Career Services, Kathy  Kassissieh).


Basic professional etiquette include:

• Etiquette  begins with meeting  and  greeting. You only have  one chance  to make a first impression, so make it count. It all starts with the “hello”. Stand up when meeting  people. Go around  anything that is between you and the person you are  being  introduced to (i.e. furniture). Focus on the other person. Smile, and make and maintain eye  contact throughout the entire  greeting. You will make other people  feel good about themselves and about  you.

• A firm(not too firm), confident handshake when meeting someone. Coupled with a smile while you yet maintain eye contact.

• Discuss only matters on why you are meeting. Avoid controversial topics such as politics, religion, sexuality etc.

• If addressing someone or people keep conversation short and simple.

• Avoid registers and jargons when speaking with people outside your profession.

• Be sure to pay attention to others contribution in the discussion.

• Ask questions and answer questions politely as well.

• When parting, shake hands again with a smile and a gentle “thank you, it was nice meeting you”.

Remember also to follow basic rules of agreement and in the case of a disagreement remain polite and respectful. The  professionalism of your style of communication may build bridges for the future.

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...

PLB Foundation: Benue Flood Victims Donations

www.theinnercitymission.ngo/donate This isn't a season of hurricanes floods and natural disasters, nope, it's not. This is a season of love, a season where our affections must be compelled enough to help those in need of our help. A season where devastation meets an overwhelming force of love ❤ and help. This is not the season to stand quiet and watch "others" do the helping. It's a season for us (you and me) to be the saviours in others lives and show them that God loves and cares for them. We preach the gospel of Jesus but no one preached it better than Jesus Himself who went about doing good and helping people get out of their problems and predicaments. The PLB is glad to announce to you that we're now in Partnership with www.theinnercitymission.ngo/donate . So, you can give financially to help people who've lost loved ones, properties, and means of income. www.theinnercitymission.ngo is a world renowned charity organisation under t...
