In conversations do you tend to dominate or take a backseat?
In this Habits and Hustle episode, I’m re-sharing a conversation I had with etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho about using guidelines to foster a more interactive, balanced dialogue, and deeper connection.
Listen as we discuss the challenge of dancing around the fine line between curiosity and intrusiveness, noting cultural differences in what’s considered polite or rude, and the intersection of East meets West and female empowerment – especially in business! She also shares the true impact of making a strong first impression, especially in the world of modern dating, and the evolving norms of social etiquette in the post-COVID world.
Sara Jane Ho is the star of Netflix’s “Mind Your Manners”, author of the book of the same name, founder of Chinese finishing school, Institute Sarita, where students are taught etiquette and lifetime skills.
