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.

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
